Maruti Suzuki Wagon R Duo Review
Posted on:- Jul 15 2008 : Maruti Suzuki Wagon R Duo
Maruti’s Duo is probably the most important alternative energy car to be launched in India to date. The LPG system has been engineered and integrated along with the rest of the car by Maruti, and this makes a world of a difference. The car’s gas system consists of a toroidal LPG tank, a gas pressure step-down system in the bonnet as well as a system that introduces the LPG into the engine for combustion.:

Maruti Suzuki Swift DZiRE Review
Posted on:- Jul 14 2008 : Maruti Suzuki Swift DZiRE
Overview
Maruti Suzuki has been reborn as a make with a portfolio of global models. Way back in 1994 when Maruti Suzuki had introduced its first entry level sedan 'Esteem', it set a benchmark that continued to rule till late 2000. With the aging of Esteem, Maruti Suzuki scrapped the model from 2008 and has now introduced the new Swift DZiRE sedan. Swift DZiRE is the sedan version of the famous Swift hatchback and resembles its sibling in most aspects.

Maruti Suzuki SX4 Review
Posted on:- Aug 18 2007 : Maruti Suzuki SX4
Overview:
The Maruti Suzuki SX4 is an A3 premium segment sedan that blends style, comfort, performance, and safety.
Launch of the Maruti SX4 coincides with the phasing-out of the Maruti Baleno, which was launched in 1999 and could not see great success. The SX4 is the second international offering from the house of Maruti, the first being the Swift. India is the first country to see the launch of the SX4, which proves India’s worth as one of the hottest car-markets in the world.
The SX4 is being touted as the tallest, widest, and broadest sedan in i...

Maruti Zen Estilo Review
Posted on:- Jun 08 2007 : Maruti Zen Estilo
The decade old Maruti Zen has been replaced by a re-designed tall boy and rechristened as Maruti Zen Estilo. Zen is the first Maruti to be officially discontinued from production, and the new Zen Estilo is designed to suit the Indian taste palate.
The Estilo’s design has been borrowed from the Japanese MR Wagon that was phased out in 2005. All the dyes and casts that were used for MR Wagon are used to manufacture the Estilo. The name Zen is used to utilise brand popularity, but the new Zen Estilo has nothing in common with the phased out Zen. It uses the design of Japanese MR Wagon a...

Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara Review
Posted on:- Aug 18 2007 : Suzuki Grand Vitara
Maruti was always going to have a tough time with this one — a Rs 15 lakh-plus price tag and a budget-conscious badge are not a good mix. However, despite its paltry sales, the Grand Vitara is a good SUV, popular in the West, practical and fun.
Design, Engineering and Interiors:
The Vitara's design is generic, and very Suzuki, and even the bold new headlamps and grille haven’t helped much. The Grand Vitara XL-7 actually is quite SUV-like, more so than its rivals. The XL-7 is pretty long, actually, and this accentuates the stubby, wide-eyed...

Maruti Versa Review
Posted on:- Jun 08 2007 :
Maruti-Versa
The Versa is one of Maruti's rare failures, and one that quite surprised the company, which had expected this practical little MPV to do very well in our joint-family market. One problem was the too-high price; Maruti has since slashed the price appreciably, and added cheaper variants, the result of which is that sales are now lukewarm instead of stone cold.
Design, Engineering and Interiors:
The Versa was expected to provide an alternative to the long running but highly compromised Omni, offering more comfort, better safety and an all-round, more modern ...

Maruti Omni Review
Posted on:- Jun 08 2007 : Maruti-Omni
Transport doesn’t get any more basic or cheap than this — it’s basically a passenger cell on wheels. This is the poor man’s family car, with not much in the way of comfort, refinement or finesse, but plenty of utility and practicality for a very low price. Maruti’s been trying to make it as car-like as possible.
Design, Engineering and Interiors:
The Omni is nearly as old as the 800; in fact, it’s one of the oldest cars in Maruti’s stable — and it shows. The Omni last received a face-lift in 1997, and has stayed much the s...

Maruti Gypsy Review
Posted on:- Aug 18 2007 : Maruti Gypsy King
For a very long time the most capable off-roader in India, and the darling of the rally circuit, the Gypsy has been sidelined by the arrival of more sophisticated SUV’s, and is now almost unseen on our roads. However, the armed forces’ demand for this hardy, capable off-roader has kept it alive, and Maruti has been quietly upgrading it, with the 1.3 Esteem engine and MPFi version.
Design, Engineering and Interiors:
The Gypsy, introduced in 1987, is based on the Suzuki SJ series. In 1993, it gained a wider track, to a...

Maruti Esteem Review
Posted on:- Aug 18 2007 :
Maruti Esteem
Maruti re-launched its ageing Esteem with a new look and more features — and many of the changes were badly needed if the Esteem was to keep up with newer competition. We’d long expected the Esteem to be replaced with the more modern Suzuki Liana, but Maruti obviously has enough confidence in its little sedan to keep it going for at least a few years more.:
Design, Engineering and Interiors:
A new front and rear mark the revised Esteem, and the changes are quite effective, considering the decade-old design. A taller grille, large, clear lamps and a deep c...

Maruti Baleno Review
Posted on:- Aug 18 2007 : Maruti Baleno
India's foremost budget-car maker burned its fingers when it ventured into the premium midsize market, and the Baleno did very poorly in the market, a victim of Maruti's grassroots image and its own poor looks. However, under that dull skin is a very fine car, which is worth a look, especially after 2003's price cuts.:
Design, Engineering and Interiors:
Like all others in the class, the Baleno is based on a European hatchback, this time a car that was introduced in 1995. The original Baleno looked even more forgettable than this one, and the large, ...
