However, Maruti Suzuki has not yet made any official statement about the development of the new hybrid technology or the upcoming hybrid vehicles. The strong hybrid versions of these vehicles are expected to be priced around Rs 2 lakh to Rs 2.5 lakh more than their ICE counterparts.

Also, the use of locally sourced components and assembly will significantly reduce the production cost. While Toyota uses the complex and expensive THS-II hybrid system, Maruti Suzuki is reportedly adopting a simple and cost-effective powerful hybrid setup.
Why are hybrid models more practical than electric vehicles?
Hybrid vehicles are coming as a cost-effective alternative to purely electric vehicles. Unlike electric vehicles, hybrids do not require external charging infrastructure and there are no charging concerns. These vehicles charge themselves using regenerative braking and engine power. Compared to internal combustion engine vehicles, hybrid models have lower operating costs. This makes them an ideal choice for budget-conscious consumers.
