Maruti to soon launch a MUV

<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEja-5P5eAEYpRBHzRPpOxsTboiQB2dQiQOmRQv8kc5Ocm1wjmcU-duUR-BTfIkLKe5vSIQc4X-TcY97253idCJsSwCcyrajHzcpdfmmfYlp94sVbDy9jYym3t8TC_pIb4S1UPknntG5rA4/s1600/MarutiSuzuki.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5680754927355644290" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEja-5P5eAEYpRBHzRPpOxsTboiQB2dQiQOmRQv8kc5Ocm1wjmcU-duUR-BTfIkLKe5vSIQc4X-TcY97253idCJsSwCcyrajHzcpdfmmfYlp94sVbDy9jYym3t8TC_pIb4S1UPknntG5rA4/s400/MarutiSuzuki.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 81px;" /></a><br /><p>MSIL, country’s largest car maker is working on a multi utility  vehicle (MUV) that is spacious on inside (with a seating capacity of up  to seven) and compact on outside. The MUV will be an important launch as  it will be interesting to see how the leading manufacturer fares in  this fast developing segment. It may be noted that the now defunct  Maruti Suzuki Versa never met with the kind of success the manufacturer  had hoped for and only after serious cost cutting, it is so that the  Ecco (re-invented Versa) is doing good numbers. The upcoming MUV has  been the hard work of Maruti’s Indian engineers coupled with consultancy  provided by Suzuki’s R&D team.  Expect the prototype to be  showcased at the upcoming Delhi Auto Expo. Hatchbacks have been  traditionally a strong point of Maruti Suzuki and going by the strong  sales figures of Mahindra Bolero along with TATA providing a makeover to  the Grande, the need of the hour for Maruti is to mark its presence in  this competitive segment. Reliable information says Maruti’s MUV will  hit the market by March 2012.</p> <p>Maruti seems to be getting aggressive with the development of the  aforementioned MUV, a compact Multi Purpose Vehicle (MPV) and a SUV  based on the platform of it’s SX4 sedan. We are of the view that hardly  any other manufacturer understands the Indian automotive scenario the  way Maruti does. Hence, these new products should be as competent as  they can get.</p>

New Swift (K12) to boast 90 bhp power, better fuel efficiency

While we initially thought that the engines for the new  car will remain entirely unaltered, such is not the case. Maruti Suzuki  have worked quite a bit on the 1.2-liter K seriespetrol engine to boost  both fuel efficiency and power. In its newest iteration, the engine will  deliver 90PS of peak power. The figure will take it in the same league  as the Honda Jazz’s i-VTEC which is currently the segment leader in  specific output. The feat is attained by introducing the dual VTT tech  to the K12 engine. <p>Not just has the power output increased, there is a substantial spike  in the fuel efficiency as well. From an earlier ARAI certified figure  of 17.9 kmpl, the fuel efficiency for the petrol Swift has jumped up to  20kmpl. Thanks to the new weight reduction techniques adopted by Maruti  Suzuki, which also includes incorporation of advanced plastic fuel  tanks, the fuel efficiency of the diesel engine too has gone up. The  ARAI figures for Swift 1.3 DDiS diesel is 23.8kmpl, and increment of  2.8kmpl over the efficiency of the earlier version.</p> <p>The engines for the new Swift will come mated with a five speed  manual transmission. A much needed 4 speed auto variant will also be  introduced a year down the line.</p>

Maruti discontinues current Swift, new one to arrive in August

The launch time  for the replacement of India’s most loved big hatch has almost been  decided. Although the buzz about the launch of the new 2011 version of  the Swift hatch in India has been on for months together now, with  speculations suggesting launch dates from as early as March. This time,  however, there is some substance to the buzz, as there has been an  official activity. Maruti Suzuki seems to have decided to draw curtains  on the current version of the Swift. The dealers are not taking the  bookings anymore, which means that the new version is waiting somewhere  around the corner to be introduced. <p>When asked, one of our friends who owns a huge Maruti Suzuki  dealership in Pune confirmed that the company has, indeed, decided to  discontinue the current model. The news would come as a dampener for  those who have got the delivery of their Swift recently, but should  sound like music for those who have been waiting for the new version.</p> <p>The ne Swift is expected to hit the roads sometime in August. Sources  indicate that the car was slated for a launch slightly earlier than  that, but the recent strike at Maruti’s plant in Gurgaon derailed  production, and thus the launch schedule.</p> <p>The new Swift is a substantial improvement over the current version.  It’s bigger, better engineered, and is said to handle better. The  engines, however, remain the same, with the 1.2 K series engine reported  to have been tweaked a little for better efficiency.</p> <p>We are expecting a slight increase in price for the new Swift,  amounting to upto 5 %, though nothing official has come out in this  regard.</p>

The new  diesel engine will be replacing the current 2.0-liter oil burner unit,  which again is a Fiat sourced mill. Now more news on the engine options  of the second-generation version of the car is emerging. Seems like a  1.4-liter K-series (K14?) engine will replace the current 1.6-liter VVT  unit. <p>The new engine will be marginally less powerful than the 1.6liter  powerplant, but will be more fuel efficient. The new engine will produce  95horses and 130 Nm of twist, as against the 1.6-liter’s 102bhp and 145  Nm. The new engine would not just be more fuel efficient, but would  also be more driveable in city conditions.</p> <p>All said, we still think at 95PS of power shouldn’t be enough to pull  the heft of the heavy SX4 with reassurance, unless the engine is really  a gem. Let’s hope it really is.</p>

This waiting  period is further extended by a month or more thanks to the workers’  strike happening at Maruti’s Gurgaon plant for over ten days now. Maruti  has incurred losses to the tune of<span class="WebRupee"> Rs. </span>500 crore owing to the stalled production.</p> <p>Being helpless without the man power in the manufacturing plant,  Maruti has extended the waiting periods by a month or more.  The strike  has also affected the delivery period of the SX4 Diesel which was two  months earlier has become three months or more.</p> <p>Maruti Suzuki India (MSI) Managing Executive Officer (Marketing and  Sales) Mayank Pareek said: “Of course, strike has increased the waiting  period of the diesel versions of the three cars. We usually do not  produce more cars than the market demand. So, whatever loss in  production we are witnessing, that will be the impact on sales in this  month.” He, however, said the waiting period has gone up by only one to  one-and-a-half week.</p> <p>These waiting periods range from place to place depending on the  stock they get but this strike has surely managed to put Maruti in deep  waters. If these waiting periods do not end, the buyers are surely going  to cancel their booking and opt for other manufacturers. Recently VW  India has come up with ads in the leading Daily which says minimum  waiting period. Finally one man’s loss is other man’s profit.</p>

Unlike the fixed geometry turbo on the Swift DDiS, the SX4 diesel will feature the variable geometry version which not only offers more power, but delivers it more linearly.</div><div style="border-width: 0px; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; outline-width: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline;">The company is planning to price the diesel variant of the SX4 aggressively, which has not been doing too well (by Maruti standards) owing to the lack of a diesel option. The SX4 is currently available only with a petrol engine, which isn’t quite as fuel efficient as some of its other counterparts.<br /><br />For more details on Maruti SX4 Please follow this link. <a href="http://www.carsalesindia.com/Maruti/SX4/Maruti_SX4.html">http://www.carsalesindia.com/Maruti/SX4/Maruti_SX4.html</a> <br /></div></span></span></div>

Maruti Suzuki to launch the Kizashi on 28th January

The new car will initially be imported as a CBU, priced at around Rs 16lakh and MSIL will take a call on local assembly based on its success.  The Kizashi is well received across the world and is doing decent numbers in some key markets. The company has been pitting the D-segment car against some of the entry-level luxury cars such as the C-class and Audi A4 in its latest ad campaign. Suzuki plans to keep the ‘Maruti’ badge out from the Kizashi branding, so as to make sure that their first venture into the D-segment is not seen an effort by a small car maker to make a bigger car.</span></span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px;">The Kizashi internationally comes with 2WD and AWD, although we doubt whether Maruti Suzuki would introduce the AWD version in the price-conscious Indian market. Powered by a 2.4-litre four cylinder engine, the Kizashi is looking good on paper – we hope it’s good enough to tackle its key competitors such as the Honda Accord and the Skoda Laura. The car will be available with a 6 speed manual and a 6-speed CVT transmission.</span></span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px;">Kizashi’s features list includes goodies such as ESP, eight airbags, a Rockford Fosgate sound system and 18 inch alloys.

While the Premier Rio tried to have a shot at the segment, although sans a 4×4 option, it didn’t quite succeed. Now reports are rife that Maruti is planning to bring the Jimny compact SUV to offer competition to the Jimny 4×4. Currently the company is making the Gypsy king only against orders, a huge chunk of which comes from the armed forces. The Jimny will be a slightly more mainstream and comfortable option for the Indian market. </div><div style="border-width: 0px; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; outline-width: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline;">The Jimny, in its original form is a two-door off-roader. With its short wheelbase and light weight it’s a potent weapon off the tar. However, for the Indian market, MSIL may just add two more doors to make it more practical.<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />The Jimny in its stock form comes with a 1.3-litre petrol engine, with 80 horses and 130 Nm of torque. However, for the Indian market petrol engines don’t makes much sense, especially for the SUV segment. Maruti Suzuki may just replace the petrol mill with the fab 1.3 DDiS diesel power plant, which would endow the Jimny with more than enough grunt to take on any terrain.</div><div style="border-width: 0px; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; outline-width: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline;">The cabin comfort won’t be too great, but would still be better than the Thar with a permanent roof and A/C. The Jimny also will have a filly covered cabin unlike the Thar’s open rear. The suspension is not well suited for comfort and Maruti Suzuki will probably have to make some amends if the Jimny has to make for a reasonably comfortable ride quality for families.</div><div style="border-width: 0px; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; outline-width: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline;">The discussions to bring in the car are still in the embryonic stage. The estimated price and launch timelines still far from having been finalized. We will, however, let you know as soon as we get to know more details.</div></span></span>

The new D-segmenter fro Suzuki is aimed squarely at the likes of the Honda Accord. Maruti Suzuki is considered a maker of small cars in India, and the company’s effort to sell their products in the higher price bracket have not worked till date. An example is the Grand Vitara. Even while retaining at a price much cheaper that its peers, the SUV, due to the lack of a diesel option and being a Maruti Suzuki has never been able to do any respectable numbers.</span></span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px;">The Kizashi, however, has been internationally acclaimed to be a capable D-segment car, and if marketed properly should help establish Maruti as a strong contender in the segment. The Kizashi has a 2.4-litre, 4-cylinder engine under its bonnet which is good for about 170PS of power and 220Nm of torque.  Transmission options are a 6-speed manual and a CVT auto. The car is also available in FWD and AWD versions. </span></span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px;">Maruti Suzuki plans to import the car as a CBU initially, and start local assembly / production once the sales pick up. The creative / ad agencies for the new brand have been selected and we should see some campaign running by the end of February.</span></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate;

The Alto will not feel lonely anymore as far as the CNG option is concerned. According to a report by Goa on Wheels, Maruti Suzuki will be launching the CNG versions of the Ritz and Estilo soon. With this move, the firm intends to grab a larger share of the CNG vehicle market which will prove beneficial owing to the rising fuel prices.</div><div id="_mcePaste" style="border-width: 0px; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; outline-width: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> </div><div style="border-width: 0px; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; outline-width: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;"></div><div id="_mcePaste" style="border-width: 0px; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; outline-width: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The launch of the CNG versions of the above mentioned cars would be just like icing over the cake as Maruti Suzuki has already been selling in good numbers and the firm is no doubt the king of the ‘Small Car’ segment. As of now, the firm will reportedly introduce CNG versions of the Ritz and Estilo only. After analyzing the response of their move, the firm may think of adding a CNG variant to more of its cars to start with, Maruti Suzuki Eeco.</div><div id="_mcePaste" style="border-width: 0px; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; outline-width: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> </div><div id="_mcePaste" style="border-width: 0px; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; outline-width: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">However, CNG is not available nationwide which poses to be a problem.

All of a sudden your everyday car gets a much needed soul and it becomes a lot more desirable. But then bigger engines mean lesser fuel efficiency, which in turns makes small cars with big engines impractical. Seriously?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Well, not exactly. The engines made these days are actually more efficient than the ones made some ten years back. So when NDTV's sources suggest that Maruti plans to give its bread and butter car, Alto a heart transplant, we should be happy. And by now some of us might have thought of buying the car. Alto has proved itself in the market. It is a proper successor to the legend, the 800. Though Alto had a 1.1L engine in the past, but it was thirsty. So they discontinued it and the car was available with just one engine option. But as emission norms get stricter with each passing day, Maruti had to upgrade the 800cc engine to BS-IV. But replacing the engine to an already BS-IV engine makes more sense. The only engine they have in their line-up suitable for this small car is the 1L K-series (K10B)engine doing the duty in Alto's European namesake, the A-star. So fitting a 1L K-series engine solves a lot of problems. Maruti-Suzuki can produce a total of 2.5 lakh K-series engines annually, which will have to be upgraded once they start producing the new Alto.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Maruti Suzuki India Chairman R C Bhargava said, "Alto needs a face-lift. It has been there for quite a while." No comment was made on how the car be like, an upgrade or an entirely new one. Sources suggest that if this plan of Maruti's materialises, then Alto's price will go up by a small margin. </span></div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Alto has been doing good in the market with around 20,000 units selling per month. The new car is worth a wait. Lets see how Maruti plans to upgrade the Alto.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Source: <a href="http://www.motoroids.com/news/1023-alto-might-get-a-k-series.html">Motoroids</a></span></div>

2010 Wagon R details revealed!

<div mce_style="text-align: left; " style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><img alt="Wagon R - www.motoroids.com" mce_src="/images/stories/Cars/Cars_India/Maruti_Suzuki_India_Ltd/maruti_suzuki_wagon_r_motoroids.jpg" src="http://www.motoroids.com/images/stories/Cars/Cars_India/Maruti_Suzuki_India_Ltd/maruti_suzuki_wagon_r_motoroids.jpg" /></div><h5 mce_style="text-align: left; " style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">This is just a representative image -  the actual car may look different</h5><div mce_style="text-align: left; " style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">We had earlier reported that the upgraded  <a href="http://www.motoroids.com/news/904-refreshed-wagon-r-by-the-end-of-april.html" mce_href="/news/904-refreshed-wagon-r-by-the-end-of-april.html">Wagon R  will hit the streets on by the end of April</a>. We also assured that  the upgrade would not be just a minor face lift but would be much more  than that since the firm has spent a lot of money on the upgrade. The  firm has finally revealed that the car will hit the streets on 23rd of  April. The upgraded Wagon R will be based on the current Japanese Wagon  R. the new Wagon R will be taller, longer and wider and will feature new  suspension components both in the front and rear suspensions. The  bigger size ensures that the Wagon R is more spacious than before and  provides better comfort.</div><div mce_style="text-align: left; " style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div mce_style="text-align: left; " style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">The car will kick away the present 1.1-L  engine and make way for a smaller 1.0-L three cylinder K series engine.  The engine is the same 67 bhp engine from the A Star/Estilo. The gear  ratios have been altered though so that the 3 cylinder engine can carry  the hefty weight of the Wagon R. The car also sports a new dashboard, an  integrated audio system and the rear wash-wiper in the apex Vxi model.</div><div mce_style="text-align: left; " style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div mce_style="text-align: left; " style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">The car will  be sold in the similar Lx, Lxi and Vxi variants as before. However, the  Duo variant will be missing. There is no confirmation whether the Duo  variant will be launched later on. Wagon R is Maruti Suzuki’s second  bestselling car which has managed to hit a total sales figure of more  than 800,000 units since its 1999 launch.</div><div mce_style="text-align: left;" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><b><div mce_style="text-align: left;" style="text-align: left;"><br /></div></b><b><div mce_style="text-align: left;" style="text-align: left;"><i><span style="font-weight: normal;">Source: BSMotoring, Motoroids</span></i></div><div mce_style="text-align: left;" style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div mce_style="text-align: left;" style="text-align: left;"><u>Exterior  Styling:</u></div><div mce_style="text-align: left;" style="text-align: left;"><ul><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><b><div mce_style="text-align: left;" style="display: inline !

According to various sources, the firm has spent Rs. 290 crore in upgrading the firm’s best selling hatchback. In addition to this, the company also confirmed the phasing off of the ‘Duo’ variant which runs on both LPG and petrol. When inquired, Mayank Pareek, Maruti Suzuki India Executive Officer (Marketing and Sales) said, “As of now, we have stopped the Duo and the new WagonR will only be in gasoline.”</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The refreshed Wagon R will not be just a face lifted one. This fact was supported when Mr. Pareek revealed that a minor facelift usually costs about Rs. 50 crore and when the firm is said to have spent a little less than six times this figure, there is no harm in expecting something more this time. The expected Wagon R will definitely be BS-IV compliant and will feature the Maruti Suzuki K10B engine which will be manufactured at the firm’s Gurgaon plant. The new engine will also be mated with a new improved transmission system.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">According to Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI) standards, the car will have the capacity to return a mileage of about 18.9 kmpl.</span></div>

This meaning has come true in its sense as the great thing i.e. Kizashi is on its way to the Indian streets. Maruti Suzuki confirmed that they have plans to import the Suzuki Kizashi to India as a CBU by the end of 2010. The car was displayed in the Auto Expo at Delhi. The car is Suzuki Motors Corporation’s flagship model in the D-segment as well as its sixth world strategic model. The car hit the Japanese and American streets during October and December 2009 respectively.</span></div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">According to a few sources, “Kizashi is very much on the company’s drawing board. But right now, Maruti will follow CBU route from its Sagara plant in Japan during this calendar year. Eventually, the company may consider importing CKD kits from the same plant later subject to market demand.” To support the news, a Delhi based dealer also confirmed Maruti’s plans to launch the car in India around October, this year. According to the dealer, “The price bracket of Kizashi will be Rs. 12-14 lakh and it will be the most feature-rich car amongst Maruti’s portfolio. When asked about the engine specifications, he said, “It’s highly likely that it will sport a 2.4 litre all-aluminum engine.”</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">American Suzuki Motor Corp (Automotive Marketing and Public Relations) Vice-President Gene Brown reported to PTI during the Chicago Auto Show, "The Kizashi is going to be sold in India. I do not think the launch in India is that far in the future." He did not shed more light on the topic of Kizashi in India as he wasn’t in charge of the Indian Market.</span></div></div>
