Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara......



The new Grand Vitara has made a foray into the Indian market without as much hoopla as the other SUVs have made, obviously with the massive disappointment that accompanied the previous offering. Referred to as the Escudo all around this CBU has been launched here as the Grand Vitara. Cannot say much about the grandeur but does look poised to please and gain back some lost pride!...

MARUTI SX4...



Maruti Udyog Limited, the largest automotive manufacturer of India was established in February 1981 though the production started only in 1983. The company started as a 50-50 JV between Suzuki of Japan and Maruti. The government of India held 18.28% stake untill recently. This holding stake was sold off to the financial institutions in May, 2007. Suzuki has gradually increased its holding percentage to 54.2. The first offering from Maruti, the 800, was the bestseller for a long time till its sibling, the Alto, took over. Selling over 5,00,000 cars annually in the domestic market, Maruti exports close to 30,000 units to several countries. Of late, the Indian giant was facing stiff competition from various manufacturers and Maruti did well by launching the Swift which is a modern and exudes a lifestyle image. The trend continued with the SX4. The large portfoilio takes care of the options available to the customer.

Unlike India, Suzuki SX4 is not a new name for Japan, North America and some of the European countries. It has replaced many enthusiasts' first-love, Baleno in India. With 1.6L 102bhp engine, this car is all set to take on Honda City, Ford Fiesta and Chevrolet Aveo. Maruti is counting on SX4 for taking Indian mid-size segment by storm, let's see if SX4 would be able to make Maruti a leader in this segment as well...

HYUNDAI Accent....




The Accent is a good value-for-money sedan. It looks dated and only the petrol GLS variant is available. But still looks impressive and does carry the stature of a sedan. The styling cuts and the profile are typical of a sedan with excellent build quality...

The Cute OPTRA



Like the Optra from the rear, SRV from the front but unlike either when you pop the hood. The 2L, 121PS common rail diesel engine delivers as an exhilarating experience. Other strongholds of Optra are carried forward with the Magnum. Ride is plush, interiors exude rich feel, gearbox has improved. Steering is still a little lazy though. Overall, a hoot to drive.
