In 2017, Maruti Suzuki announced that it was transitioning and rebranding its standard sales network to the new Maruti Suzuki Arena outlets.

The manufacturer has announced that it is celebrating two years of the dealer network brand with over 450 new outlets which cover 323 cities across the country.
Maruti Suzuki has said that their online customer interaction with the Arena channel records around 4.74 million people visiting every month. The new Arena showrooms from Maruti Suzuki are equipped with interactive touch screen panels that consumers can access to know more about their desired vehicles specifications and features. Additionally, there is also a product vision screen which is a touch screen panel where customers can explore the car of their choice. At the showroom, customers can also experience a 360-degree view of the car with what they called iCreate Configurator.
