New Maruti Ritz Car India – Suzuki Splash
Well, the fizz, ah! The Maruti Ritz has arrived
Ever since its merger with Japanese giant Suzuki, Maruti has become the biggest carmaker in India. It is not doing badly either. With Maruti Splash or what would be known as Maruti Ritz in India, the company is looking to further grab small-car market.
Succeeding A-Star, Ritz will showcase shorter wheelbase and KB series engine. This means that the locomotive will ably fire away once the steering-man presses the button. The car will marry appearance with functionality. Higher roof and broader tracks would go a long way in making the car profound with space.
Though Ritz is slated to completely substitute Wagon-R in the west, it will run alongside this former hero in India. With a hike in gasoline prices, a niche small car market is fast emerging (with even GM chanting the small car mantra), hence Ritz will only strengthen Maruti’s firm grip over the small car market in India.
More on the appearance front: the taillights are reminiscent of French Hatchbacks. Indicator switches, doorknobs are just as you have been seeing in the previous models; nothing much that is added here.
On the functional level, it is important to convey that the car will come with a couple of petrol engines and a single diesel engine. The petrol engines will be aimed at 1000 cc and 1200 cc displacement. Diesel version would elucidate a displacement of 1.3 L.
The car is expected to hit the showrooms at about 4-5 lakhs INR.
