This compact sedan is set forth after the scheduled dispatch of Maruti Ignis and Baleno RS hatchbacks the next year. It is expected to be seen first at Geneva Motor Show 2017 . Being not-so-affected by the demonetization as compared to its competitors in automobile industry like Mahindra and Mahindra, Ford and Volkswagon, Maruti plans to perform better in other segments than as well.
It will be inclusive of Smart Hybrid Vehicle by Suzuki (SHVS) technology or 1.2 litre K-series petrol driven accessories with maximum power of 8.314 bhp@6000 rpm and maximum torque of 115 Nm@4000 rpm, much like the previous edition of Swift Dzire. The car is expected to have enhanced exterior look, as it has the Audi grille which will add to the richness of its look, along with a new touchscreen infotainment system compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The cabin has also been styled with beige upholstery, new headlamp clusters and distinctly shaped bumpers.
It is expected to fall in the price bracket of 6-9 lakh. With Honda Amaze and Ford Aspire already doing good in the market, their might be a possible competition as not much changes have been yet announced in this line up.
Also, Hyundai has set the comeback of its then successful Santro in motion with all new mechanical designs that seems to have attracted the young.
