Will Maruti Suzuki Launch the Hustler in India?

Final Thoughts – Will It Launch?
While the Hustler has been spotted testing, there’s no confirmation yet if Maruti Suzuki will bring it to India. The company has tested global cars in India before without launching them.
If it arrives, expect a taller, more spacious version with competitive pricing to take on the Punch, Exter, and Citroen C3.
