The Concept Future S will be the second car after Vitara Brezza (a compact sports utility vehicle or SUV) to be designed entirely in India.Maruti Suzuki first showcased its concept future in 2004 which translated to Swift (a hatchback).
“Compact is the natural choice of India’s car customers. Compact needs a fresh design language, one that is bold, confident and dynamic. Our designers have created this brand new design, aggressive on the outside, and bold and inviting interiors. Nothing like this has ever been attempted before on a vehicle this size. Concept Future S will define the next generation of design for compact vehicles in India,” said Kenichi Ayukawa, managing director and CEO, Maruti Suzuki India Ltd.
“With its unique aggressive stance and posture and bold and exciting interiors, Concept Future S is set to redefine compact vehicle design in India. Designed in-house by Maruti Suzuki, Concept Future S epitomizes the next level of design evolution in terms of proportions, body sculpting and stimulating fusion of bold patterns and superior accent colours,” the company said in a press release.
Maruti Suzuki will start working on the Concept Future S based on the response the company elicits from potential customers at the Auto Expo.
The Delhi-based car maker has incorporated certain attributes of a compact SUV in the new concept as the company thinks growth in sales in the passenger vehicle segment will be driven by the utility vehicle segment.
Maruti Future Concept Design & Features The Maruti Concept Future S unveiled at Auto Expo 2018 and has been designed in-house by Maruti Suzuki. The new Future S Concept from Maruti features a striking design both inside and out that the company states integrate SUV features in compact dimensions without disturbing the proportions. The Maruti Future S Concept gets a unique aggressive stance and posture and a three-door design. Up front, the Maruti Future Concept S features sleek LED headlights that are connected by a sleek grille underneath which sits the Suzuki badge.
The borders of the raked windshield are done up in white. The front bumper features a large silver bash plate above which sits a small air dam. The circular fog lamps are situated in a rectangular enclosure that features a white border similar to the one seen on the windshield surround. At the sides, the longish bonnet and the small glasshouse section give the Maruti Future S Concept a rather unique look.
The large wheel arches play host to rather large wheels which like the rest of the concept feature unique orange accents. The taillights like the headlamps are LED and sleek in profile.
The insides of the Maruti Concept Future S reverse the colour scheme outside, with ivory dominating the colour code and orange being used as an accent for the instrument cluster, steering wheel, door trim, seats, and certain sections of the dashboard.
The piano black centre console provides contrast to the brighter shades of the interior and plays host to the circular infotainment display. Maruti also claims that the ergonomic design of the seats will provide comfort for the passengers inside.
