Maruti will lift the curtains on the mini SUV concept at the Auto Expo next week. We already sensed that the concept was a close relative to the Jimny/Gypsy due to the familiar grille and the aging current generation model calling out for help.
Moreover Suzuki is unlikely to design a SUV to compete with the Scorpio, Safari or XUV500 as its strength lies in the compact car space. Though the Gypsy has left showrooms to serve the security forces, the direct descendent Jimny is alive and kicking in other markets.
Shoeb R Kalania used the trimmed teaser images to capture the essence of the concept and rendered his version sporting thin A-Pillars, narrow front-end, fat tires, large wing mirrors and a black interior. His argument that beige interiors can get soiled during off-road adventures is valid!
The Jimny/Gypsy is a low-priced off roader Maruti has neglected. On seeing the competition enter this segment, Maruti has finally woken up. The Auto Expo concept may turn things around for the good old Gypsy that is set for a comeback before the beginning of 2014.

The person has done something nobody else even remotely tried. Stitching bits to bring out a front end. It may not be close to the original but the direction is important and it brings out little info from people who have actually seen the vehicle!
Probably the worst rendering I’ve seen in my life.

my apologies for the earlier comment , its just that it hurts to see such renders which just depict the absolute wrong image (especially when i may be part of the project and happen to have seen the concept already, it just sends out a wrong message)
Auto Expo 2012, Happy new year to everyone
I agree sir.
This is probably one vehicle everyone wants to see at the Expo.
Feedbacks like these would encourage me to work much harder next time..
Sorry for hurting you and your team but our intention was never that.
Happy New Year
Regards,
SRK

God you are pathetic…SRK…really does that actually look like a car, the size of the windscreen, the side view mirrors, its a concept SUV not a xylo!
AutoExpo 12 …..wait for it and see it for yourself
IAB help yourself and get yourself a decent designer or better still sponsor Mr. SRK for a automotive design course!
That car rendering is a joke please!
Thank you for your input, we hope you will enjoy our next rendering better.
Shrawan, obviously the gentleman is entitled to voice his above opinion, but just wanted to tell you;I think SRK and the IAB team does a fabulous job! and the very point that the above opinion has not been scraped by you and taken as a positive learning, speaks volumes abt the character of the comapny and the IAB team-members. Keep up the good work. SRK – you have done some excellent work, looking fwd to a lot more rendering
Thank you for your feedback. Will try and make better renderings in future.
Do stay tuned on IAB for more news and renderings.

When would they understand that Diesel unit is new mantra for any SUV or mini SUV. What’s the problem if they fit multijet diesel unit in their Gypsy and still higher capacity n higher power unit in Grand Vitara. They kicked VW and they are not utilizing existing Fiat resource. Can’t bear if talented one takes wrong steps.
Why will it take so long?
superb job man….
wow really appriciable
