The Suzuki Liana, once a prominent player in the sedan segment, was known for its tall-boy stance, roomy interior, and dependable performance. Launched in the early 2000s in India, the Liana offered a unique design with high ground clearance, a spacious cabin, and smooth 1.3L and 1.6L petrol engines. Despite its solid build and comfort, it was eventually discontinued due to rising competition and changing market trends. However, the Liana continued to be sold in select international markets under different nameplates.
What a New-Gen Liana Could Look Like Today
If Maruti Suzuki revives the Liana in 2025 or beyond, we can expect a completely reimagined design that fits modern sedan aesthetics. Think sharp LED headlights, a sloping coupe-style roofline, 16-inch alloy wheels, and a smart chrome-accented grille. The car could follow the design language of the Ciaz or Baleno, offering an evolved and refined look that appeals to both city drivers and small families seeking comfort and space.
Feature-Rich Cabin With Modern Tech
A next-generation Suzuki Liana would likely come loaded with all the creature comforts buyers now expect a touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, auto climate control, push-button start, rear AC vents, and a digital-analog instrument cluster. Suzuki could position it as a practical premium sedan under ₹10 lakh, giving it a strong feature-to-price advantage.
Engine and Hybrid Possibility in India
While no official details exist, a new Liana could borrow the 1.2L Z-Series petrol engine or even introduce a mild-hybrid variant for better fuel economy. It would likely be paired with a 5-speed manual and optional AMT transmission. With rising focus on fuel efficiency and emissions, Suzuki could also consider a strong-hybrid or CNG version depending on demand.
Could It Make a Comeback in India?
As of now, there is no official confirmation from Maruti Suzuki about the Liana’s comeback. However, with the sedan segment showing signs of revival thanks to models like the Hyundai Verna and Honda Amaze a reintroduced Liana could serve as an entry-level premium sedan between the Dzire and Ciaz. It would appeal to customers looking for more space than a hatchback and better value than higher-end sedans.
Conclusion: The Suzuki Liana may have been forgotten by many, but its practicality and comfort left a lasting impression. If revived, the new-gen Liana could find its place once again as a value-packed, feature-rich sedan for the modern Indian buyer.
