Maruti Kizashi India Review

The only similarity of Maruti Suzuki Kizashi with the European Suzuki Kizashi is only in name and a very few features. The Maruti Kizashi is still a concept for the luxury car lovers of India. It was announced as the concept car of Maruti Suzuki in the 9th auto expo, New Delhi, India last year (2008). Maruti Kizashi was the best attraction of the auto expo. All the visitors and those who saw it in internet and TV channels also praised it a lot and were eagerly waiting to get it owned soon. But it is not done so far.

The concept car looked exactly like an object to be kept in a show case. Seeing it I couldn’t even believe that it was a real car. The powerful headlamp and side indicator console seem to be an illumination at a church festival.

The aero-dynamic design of Maruti Kizashi will make it the fastest Indian car. The innovative style is not so far seen in any of the cars in India. The slight similarities if all will be found only with the Suzuki’s Kizashi series cars. Though the design makes it exactly a hatch back car, but the feature and interior space makes it a sedan.

I advice only bachelors to buy a Maruti Kizashi because cute girls are sure to come behind those who own and use it. The married ones may invite problems at how with wives. And the bachelors beware that even your best friend does not drive it as your lover might get into the car with him for a lover even if he is not a handsome guy.

Maruti Kizashi will be loaded with an advanced four-valve turbo-fired two-litre petrol, Euro V engine. It is said to have all the modern facilities in the car. It will not lack any luxury. It looks much attractive in its special red color too. It is the first six-speed transmission from the Maruti Suzuki. The 21” wheels are an attraction of the vehicle. The competitors of Maruti Kizashi are Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, Hyundai Sonata, Skoda Octavia and Volkswagen Jetta. These car producers are running with great tension having no perfect product to beat Maruti Kizashi. And the Maruti Kizashi price is only Rs. 10 lakhs. How can then the enemies sleep calm? The only thing I cannot bare in mind is that we have to wait so long up to 2010 for the launch of Maruti Kizashi. It is a sooner period for me for all other cases. But in case of Maruti Kizashi it seems to be a very long distance.

Seeing the price list and model of Maruti Kizashi I don’t even have to explain you anything about its features of A/C, adjustable seats and steering, powerful brakes, safety precautions, boot space, etc.

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.

CAR LOAN

The main thing you have to do before applying for a car loan is to decide which car to buy. You have to first decide your budget for the car. Then choose a car according to your needs. You have to decide whether you need a hatch back, sedan, SUV or MUV. All these will differ depending on the needs and budget of you and your family.

Once you select a car, you have to find out the offers each bank provides. Some automobile companies might have some tie-ups with certain banks which will give more of financial profit. It also will make things easier to sanction the loan. The automobile company will have some executives to help you out in this regard.

The third thing is to find the best loan policy that you will be able to repay back. A loan should never be an overburden to meet the other needs of yours. It will be solved if you select the best loan available for you.

Once the recession gives way to a secure financial condition to the world, the banks will increase their rates of interests of the loans. This is the time of the lowest rate of interest. So, it is the best time to own a car of your own and shine. Why do you have to loose your beauty in the hot sun of the day if you own a car?
