Need to keep small car segment energised with new products: Maruti Suzuki

A large section of customers still prefer hatchbacks despite sales growth of SUVs and Maruti Suzuki India feels the need to keep the small car segment 'energised' with new products, company MD & CEO Hisashi Takeuchi said on Thursday.

While SUVs have definitely gained popularity in recent times, a large section of customers still prefer hatchbacks," Takeuchi said.

In his address to shareholders in the company's annual report for 2021-22, he said the upcoming mid-sized SUV Grand Vitara will play a key role in the challenge to touch 20 lakh units.
