NEW MARUTI SPLASH in India in 2008

Based on an all-new platform Car market leader Maruti Suzuki India (MSI) is set to launch NEW MARUTI SPLASH in early 2008.This car is likely to replace their existing Wagon R model. but i wish it should come with its own name splash.

Splash comes with attractive styling, compact dimensions, responsive handling, very good build quality and a high degree of environmental compatibility.Splash concept that was shown at last year’s Paris Motor Show and model debuted at the 2007 Frankfurt Auto Show

ENGINE- MARUTI Splash will also be available in
Two petrol versions - 1litre 1000cc,3 Cyl65bhp and 1.2 litre1200cc, 4 Cyl Petrol 86bhp
and 1.3 litre diesel engine 1248cc, 4 Cyl, Multijet 75bhp@4000rpm.
All these engines will be mated to a 5-speed gearbox and will be within Europe’s much debated C02 emission cap of 140g/km.

FEATURES- Suzuki Splash The car shall also come with Suzuki’s standard set of safety features like ABS, airbags, brake assist,ASP, etc some of which may be trimmed for India, to keep costs into consideration. Also the engine & transmission options may vary for India for the petrol versions.
DIMENSIONS-
Length: 3214 mm Width: 1468 mm Height: 1382 mm

The premium hatchback Splash be available in between price range of Rs 3.5l(petrol) and 4.5l(diesel)in the Indian market by mid-2008. This one’s going to be yet another winner form Suzuki, after SX4 and Swift.

NEW MARUTI 800

Maruti 800 which use to 1st car of people is going to change it design ,style and looks or we can say it is going to have makeover.acc to rumour it is going to have looks similar to the Japanese Suzuki Cervo which is the latest small car recently launched in Japan.
THe new 800 is going to be the sporty and agressive exteriors and the classy bcoz the Cervo is a compact five door mini, that looks to put the other kids on the block into the shade.
This sleeky cute car offers 54bhp 660cc engine that boasts to offer peppy performance with great fuel economy.
Suzuki believes that they can price the car in the same amount given by Tata, they can do this by deleting some of the stuff available in the car, or by using a cheaper material to make it cost less, but, we doubt that Suzuki will use such cheap material so long as price is considered. There is going to be a lot of competition between these two in the below 800cc category.

outlooks
From the outside the Cervo looks like the Honda Fit. The lines and cuts of the car are neat and classy and the clean blacky covering at the end of the windows are cleverly made so as not to see too many holes.The headlights seem too agressive and getting ready to vrroomm and seems confident, well we can hope it really does. The Small mini SUV looks at the back, with an arching roofline, wedgy stance, slanted headlights and stubby bonnet makes out a new shape of itself and bound to be a great car if its priced is good and if its at 1L, it will be crazy selling.The rear is equally attractive as the front end of the Cervo is. The large lamps add appeal and character to the rear of this Suzuki.


Interiors
The interiors of this car somewhat looks like that of the much popular Swift. The rectangular air vents in the center and the circle open closed ones on the sides dont look even and looks a bit uneven. the colors of the controls lights up the dash. The boot is very small, but for daily shopping and office stuffs its just OK.

Seats at the back can seat only two and the third one can cramp up the place. A lot of storage areas are available to keep stuff in the front and find little at the back. Power Windows are airbags are available in the international markets but we doubt that it will come to India at that cost atleast airbags as an option would be better to make the car safe. In the outside markets this car is equipped with front semi-bucket seats,
4-speed auto gearbox a K6A DOHC engine with VVT, bluetooth capability.

Rumours suggest the new car to be launched sometime next year. If the pics on the google search is true, thats an awesome revamp to an 800. and Cars like these will be a success in India if they are priced well with high profile, the sporty and agressive exteriors and the classy and swifty interiors are bound to make the young gens and the ladies to force their cash out, the Suzuki's bet of combining performance with FE, this car will be a hit in Indian roads.

Swift diesel

The Swift diesel has everything it takes — powerful and refined engine, high fuel efficiency and low NVH — to leave the competition standing.Introductory price for Swift Diesel is 4.68 lakh ex-showroom Delhi for the base version. The car is available for sale in two versions, LDi and VDi which are quite equivalent to LXi and VXi respectively in terms of features provided.

Maruti Swift Diesel has got a 1.3 liter (1248cc), multi-injection, DOHC DDiS engine which produces 76ps of power and 190Nm of torque. To me, as of now, engine seems good enough. I hope noise-level would be quite low and fuel efficiency would be good enough. Dimensions of Swift Diesel are exactly same as Swift Petrol, however, weight has gone up by approx 85 kgs. I couldn’t find any difference in features provided in similar Petrol and Diesel versions. The only apparent addition in features-list seems to be Immobilizer. Those who prefer safety and luxury, might be disappointed considering the fact that there is no Diesel version equivalent to ZXi. In nutshell, no airbags, alloy wheels, climate control or keyless entry for Swift Diesel!
The steering system is analogous to indica v2 and has a turning radius of about 4.7m. The product comes with P-EPS electronic power steering i.e. steering is assisted by electronic system hence demands lesser effort to negotiate a turn. The swift petrol version has some problems with its steering i.e. you have to pull it suddenly as it is loose in straight ahead position while taking a turn. Hope this will be fixed in this version (check it wile you test drive).
Front brakes are ventilated disc type and rear one is drum.

Generally petrol fonder are frustrated of diesel because of its higher maintenance cost, it is expensive relative to petrol version and because of its noise and poor resale value. Common rail direct injection (CRDi) claims to resolve some of the problems, swift diesel is using that technology. So the specifications are here and we will decrypt it and find what we can expect from it.Maruti had already experimented Zen and esteem diesel but it failed hence all its diesel future lies in swift and it hopes for the best.
Also there is a fear that it will eat swift petrol sales. We will wait to see whether swift will do another swift for Maruti.But it has already sold over 60000 units since its launch making Maruti an invincible player in compact car segment.

Maruti wagonR

Recent face-lift gives the Wagon R new lights, making the boxy looks more palatable. The high roof frees up bags of space inside and you can play mix-and-match with the seats for hours. Interiors are quite plasticky, though. The new WagonR has features like new upholstery, rear defogger and wheel covers. There are the usual Maruti strengths - great engine and reliability, let down by a rubbery gear change, and narrow, insubstantial rear seats.

The new-look WagonR would be available in all the four existing varints -- LX, LXi, VXi and AX -- and would be offered at the same price of Rs 3.29 lakh, Rs 3.56 lakh, Rs 3.80 lakh and Rs 4.56 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi) .
Special features of Wagon R
Maruti Suzuki Wagon R, offering in the mid-size segment, is powered by a 1.1 litre, 62 bhp, 16 valve, MPFI engine and will be available in India in two manual transmission versions and one automatic version. The manual transmission versions include a Wagon R LX with air-conditioning and a fully loaded VX version. The Wagon R is a compact, highly manoeuvrable and fuel-efficient vehicle with interior space and comfort of a luxury car and the external dimensions of a compact car. A car that once defied description and had only the backing of its designers and engineers, the mid-size market has grown dramatically over the past three years and seen the entry of many players. A bold front bonnet, vertical front headlamps and a powerful, one-piece front bumper and grills make it stand apart from the rest of the cars in its class. It has tinted glasses all round, side protective mouldings and body coloured bumpers. A high seating position and large opening doors provide extremely good access to and from the vehicle for both driver and passengers and good all round visibility. Its upright body design also provides more interior space for five adults and luggage.
more features and specification's

The Wagon R's 16 valve MPFI engine is controlled by a computerised 16-bit electronic control module (ECM), enables efficient combustion of fuel and reduced emission. The ECM constantly tunes the engine on specific loads and requirements. It is also powered with a double distributorless ignition system, one of the latest technologies in the world of engine management systems.
The suspension of the Wagon R using MacPherson struts at the front while at the rear it has coil spring; gas filled shock absorbers with three-link rigid axle and isolated trailing arms. It has a power assisted brake system with an eight-inch booster and disc brakes at the front, pressure sensing valves to regulate the pressure to the wheels, and drums at the rear.
It has a strong and sturdy rigid monocoque frame that has been computer designed to absorb the energy of impacts at both the front and the rear through crumple zones. Side impact beams are standard in both front and rear doors. Vertical-type halogen headlamps provide good vision at night.
The Wagon R meets the Euro II norms through its new 1.1 litre engine, 4 cylinder, 16 valve (4 valves per cylinder) MPFI engine. It totally eliminates the use of eco-unfriendly substances such as asbestos for heat insulation and chlorofluorocarbons (CFCS) in air conditioning systems. The Wagon R uses ozone-friendly HFC 134a in its air conditioning and no polystyrene foam, Freon or trichlorotrifluoroethane are used.

Styling and Engineering:
This is a compact SUV no intimidating look or no sharp shoulder .

New vitara is a sharp little truck. Positives include the honeycomb grille, clearlens headlights, wheel flares that impart a sense of power, and simple yet attractive body lines. An aerodynamic roofline leads to a discreet tailgate spoiler and the spare wheel is retained on the rear door. A clever piece of Suzuki’ engineering can be felt in the tailgate. Opening to a full 90 degrees, the gas strut for the side-hinged tailgate has a two-position stop. The first stop at about 65 degrees ensures that the tailgate – with its protruding spare wheel – does not accidentally swing into the path of passing traffic. with rear seats raised the new Vitara offers 398L of boot space and it offers 758L when rear seats are folded.

New Grand Vitara’s features include power windows, locks and mirrors, remote entry system, adjustable steering column, steering wheel controls for audio and cruise, three 12-volt power outlets, front and rear automatic climate control, cargo cover, outside temp and fuel consumption gauges and audio systems.
