The Maruti Splash has been described by Suzuki as a multi-utility vehicle for small families. The Splash has spacious interiors with safety features like seatbelt force limiters for the front seat. The dashboard will be fuss-free in keeping with the Splash's youthful, fresh looks. The Splash also has high seating positions and good visibility. The engineering shows a judicious use of space. For example, the rear seats of the Splash can be folded back to make a flat load floor and a compartment below for storage. Cute and affordable, the Splash is very likely to make a huge splash in the Indian market.

Maruti splash may have the choice of three engines – two petrol and a diesel. An 1.0-litre 3-cylinder petrol unit producing 65 PS (48 kW) and a 1.2-litre 4-cylinder petrol engine developing 86 PS (63 kW) will power the splash. Both the petrol engine have four-valve-per-cylinder. Maruti Suzuki swift’s 1.3-litre DDIS may also be strapped into the new splash. All three engines are combined with a 5-speed manual gearbox. The 1.2L petrol splash feature an optional 4-speed automatic transmission. All the engines of the splash are Euro4-compliant.

The pricing would be a little higher than the Swift in the range of Rs. 4.5-5.5 lakh.

Acccording to Suzuki, Splash is a multipurpose vehicle that will likely appeal to those with small families and a limited budget.
