Maruti Grand Vitara
Maruti Suzuki launched its only SUV Grand Vitara with a new face and character. Maruti so far had only Gypsy as the off road rider with was just like a Mahindra Major jeep. It had and has no luxurious comforts. Here differs Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara. Maruti Grand Vitara is a loaded SUV for Indian off roads.

The new engine of Maruti Grand Vitara is more powerful and efficient to climb any hill station at any climate. The four mode and four wheel engine drive helps the off road completion very much.

The all new Maruti Grand Vitara is grant in power, style, and safety features. It is an advanced car with the Multi Information Display which provides the information of cruise range, average speed, fuel consumption, low fuel warning, etc. The 17” alloy wheels add dynamism to Maruti Grand Vitara whereas the repeatedly modified front grill and bumpers add maturity and maleness to the vehicle.

The 6 CD changer loaded in Grand Vitara is so powerful and understands our need and passion for music. The luxurious 4X4 drive will make the Indian drivers proud on roads. Being a small SUV it can also parked in less space and so is best suit even in city drive.

Grand Vitara has already become as popular as it is already recognized by 16 countries and 32 awards. It won 6 awards in the U.S. and 4 in Germany. And you know how difficult it is to get an automotive award from Germany. The main award it won is the SUV of the year by NDTV profit car & bike awards 2008.

Grand Vitara has seating for five passengers. It has keyless startup and upgraded leather seats. It is the best affordable SUV of the upper middle class of India. The main enemy of Grand Vitara is Honda CR-V. The Grant Vitara price makes it stable and wanted in the market.

Variant                         Metallic

(Rs.)
GRAND VITARA MT 1705044
GRAND VITARA AT 1835044

Where as the price of Honda CRV is Rs. 21 lakhs to Rs.23.5 lakhs. The mp3 player is much better than the other vehicle available. You might even think of buying a Mahindra Scorpio at Rs. 10 lakhs. But it is likely to loose control in drive while cornering. On the other hand, Grand Vitara is good at sporty drive and can be controlled smoothly. Since the size of it is comparatively small, it is best suit in city drive too.

Maruti Suzuki Alto Car

October 9th, 2009 by admin | No Comments | Filed in General

Maruti Alto

Maruti Alto is the family car of the middle class people of India. Maruti Alto was a big hit in the production history of Maruti Suzuki. When the Maruti Suzuki Company reported a great loss in the year 2000, it was Maruti Alto that gave an uplifting hand to Maruti Suzuki. If that had not happened, perhaps the company’s major share could have been sold away. So, Maruti Suzuki today praises the designers and engineers of Maruti Alto.

The middle class family who cannot afford for an expensive car and who feel shy to own a Maruti 800 can opt for Maruti Alto. The designing of Maruti Alto is like that of a luxury car. It is available in four variants Alto, Alto Lx, Alto Lxi and Alto Limited Edition. All these variants ensure a good mileage of 20km per litre which a middle class family expects.

The clear lens headlamp gives a clear vision at night with bright light. The sound at the time of closing its door is that of an upgraded car like Wagon R or Santro Xing where as Maruti 800’s is not that much pleasing.

We can only say that the seating comfort of the car is not bad. The good news of the seating is that they are fabric seats. The gear knob and steering wheel offer comfortable drive. The only negative aspect of it is that it has only a 796cc, FC 4 valve engine. It is also available in seven different colors.  Maruthi Alto prices are given below.

275310.49

272202.89

MARUTI ALTO STD BS III (WITH IMMOBILISER)

224214.36

227321.96

Since it gives a good mileage up to 20kms and even more to a few good drivers (up to 30 in mileage race), it the best car for middle class family. It is also best suit for taxis. The Maruti Alto also has another fault of not having disk brakes. Since it has only a 796cc engine the youth don’t enjoy driving it with sporty spirit. But the design of the body is best suit for a sporty car. Many youngsters do modify the car into a sporty vehicle.

Suzuki Kizashi

October 6th, 2009 by admin | 4 Comments | Filed in General

Suzuki Kizashi

When Suzuki announced its world premiere concept car “A-Star” at the 9th Auto Expo, New Delhi in 2008 I was amazed with entirely different design of the car. But I was disappointed after a few months when Maruti Suzuki launched another car with the name A-Star since it had no similarity at all with the concept car. I was even irritated by this act of Maruti Suzuki. But I now feel sorry for it as Suzuki is going to launch the Suzuki Kizashi soon. The concept car A-Star was just a hatchback and though it looks so cute it had something distractive too. Now it is been removed by the announcement of Suzuki Kizashi.

The very shape of Suzuki Kizashi is copied from the older concept car. But the renewed shape of Suzuki Kizashi looks much better. Suzuki Kizashi is a fully loaded vehicle that I expected. It seems like Suzuki has made it just for me. Whenever I buy a car I look for the beauty part of it. And Suzuki has made me just fall in love with the Suzuki Kizashi. The outer shape is like floating water.

Suzuki Kizashi is a fully software controlled vehicle. The headlamps are computerized it is switched on and off automatically according to the darkness. So, it makes the drive very easy. We now don’t even have to search for the light switch.

The keyless entry is a standard option for Suzuki Kizashi. When we are in hurry we can even start the car before getting into the car itself. Suzuki has used all the modern and post modern technologies in Kizashi. It has a dual zone automatic climate control. It avoids the fight between me and my younger sister who doesn’t like cold.

Nowadays my sister also has started driving. But when she drives it alone she is afraid of handing the music system on the dash board and the steering simultaneously. Last month she even hit her brand new swift on the gate. Now since Suzuki Kizashi has the steering wheel integrated controls she will be ale to drive it safe.

With the audio system I can be a hero when I go for night parties at my friends’ house as we all rock music. And the USB socket will help me play the music from my ipod too.

The ten way adjustable seat will enable me to have my own style of driving. Since it has 3 memories my sister, driver and me can just switch on to our own comfort in no time and drive away comfortably. And the tilt and telescopic adjustable steering also will help for better control and chase. The leather wrapped steering wheel, gear knob and hand brake handle will avoid sweating of hands even if we drive without the A/C on. And the one touch sunroof will reduce physical stress in the car.

The wide dickey space will allow me avoid taking an SUV for picnics. Even the interior has lots of storage spaces to keep bottle, DVDs and so on. The 8 air bags I am sure will keep safe all who travel in Suzuki Kizashi. Like the headlamp the wiper is also automated to work according to the heaviness of rain. Having a very powerful engine it has 6 speed manual or CVT transmission. For luxury’s sake it adds leather seats in to colors – beige and black.

The heated front seats will give more comfort and the heated mirrors will give better vision. The rear parking sensor will help us to take the car back without even looking back. Being an optimist I don’t even like to turn back. So, I think the Suzuki Kizashi is really an optimist and male. The body is so strong as to protect us from all the external indents. The light weight alloy wheel provides better driving comfort and adds beauty to the car. The powerful brakes help us to stop the vehicle where we want to stop it even at unexpected circumstances.

The back design will keep the driver behind this car at least 3ft. away because of its male natured looks. The other drivers will at once think whether to over take or not. But of course, Suzuki Kizashi has to decide if he has to over take and go.
