engine.

December 2006 as a part of Maruti Udyog's Indian market strategy to launch
a new car annually for the next five years .The new Zen has the same engine
and chassis as the Maruti Wagon R; both being based on the Suzuki MR
Wagon (Nissan Moco). The pricing is also nearly the same as the Wagon R.

The ESTEEM first appeared in MARUTI SUZUKI showrooms in 1989. It

was a rebadged version of the Suzuki Swift, sharing many of the drivetrain
and interior components. The Metro was a direct replacement for the
Chevrolet Sprint, a subcompact hatchback that was several inches shorter
than the Metro, and boasted fewer safety and convenience features. The
Sprint was also a rebadged Suzuki Forsa. Several body styles were available
during the Metro's 13 year run, including a 2-door convertible, 3-door
hatchback, 4-door sedan, and a 5-door hatchback. The Metro enjoyed a
decent run, first as a Geo from 1989 through 1997, then as a Chevrolet from
1998 to the model's final year in 2001. The Suzuki Swift though, is still
being sold in Japan and Europe, albeit in a different form. There was a
rebadged version called the Pontiac Firefly sold only in Canada. The Firefly
appeared in Canadian showrooms in 1985 and was also a rebadged Suzuki
Forsa. Like the Metro, the Firefly stopped selling in 2000, but kept on
selling as a fleet-sales only model. The Swift+, a car unrelated to the Swift,
is also still being sold in Canada as a rebadged Daewoo Kalos/Chevrolet
Aveo.

Originally, all Metro models were produced at Suzuki's Hamamatsu, Japan

plant. However, in 1990, production commenced at CAMI Automotive, a
50-50 joint venture between General Motors and Suzuki located in Ingersoll,
Ontario, Canada. The sedan models only sold in Canada were made in
Japan.

The Metro is part of the GM M platform, a designation it shared with the

Canadian-only Pontiac Firefly, as well as the Sprint. The Metro (along with
twins the Suzuki Swift and Pontiac Firefly) were the only subcompacts
made in Canada in the 1990s

Maruti Wagon-R
The Maruti Wagon-R is a made for India version of Suzuki Wagon R.

The Wagon-R was born out of Japanese kei-jido-sha restrictions which

dictated a limited length and engine size. This boxy, tall-boy design has now
completed five years of presence on Indian roads.
Maruti's launch of the car was ill-timed. Despite being one of the world's
first tall-boy designs (along with models from Daihatsu and Daewoo), the
Wagon-R was not first-to-market in India.

The Hyundai Santro, a less avant garde version of the Hyundai Atos was the
first tall-boy design to hit the Indian roads. It preceded the Maruti-Suzuki
Wagon R by a two year lead.

The Wagon R's bread-box shape did not immediately cut ice with the Indian
consumer and the car saw slow sales initially.

The car is powered by a 1061 cc four cylinder, sixteen valve, multipoint

fuel-injected engine producing 64 bhp (47.7 kW) at 6200 rpm and 84
newton-metres (62 ft·lbf) of torque at 3500 rpm.

The car comes with a variety of trim levels. These include the LX (sans
power steering), LXi (power steering), VXi (fully loaded) and the AX
(automatic). The car normally comes with a 5-speed manual transmission
and seats 4 (including the driver) comfortably. Light kerb weight (750–775
kg) makes for a nimble car with good acceleration and a top speed of
160 km/h (99 mph). The car's fuel economy is somewhere in the range of 13
to 14 km/l (7.7 to 7.1 l/100 km) in city driving and 18 to 20 km/l (5.6 to 5.0
l/100 km) on the highway.

The car is priced between Rs. 350,000 (LX) to Rs. 485,000 (AX).

Now the car has found a market for itself, especially among young Indian
urban professionals who don't mind its boxy slab-sided looks, but value its
Maruti lineage. The car is currently among India's top five best-selling cars.

Maruti Udyog Ltd. has recently revamped its looks and introduced a new
look WagonR which sheds the boxy look at the back. Also has been
introduced the LPG version christened DUO which runs on petrol as well as
LPG. Also the internal controls have been given a more sportier look with
bright metal finish. Other features new in the Vxi (the top end manual
transmission model) are Electrically adjustable outside Rearview mirrors.
This is the first on any B-Segment car in India

The Suzuki Swift is a supermini car manufactured by the Japanese Suzuki

Motor Corporation. It was originally named SA-310 at its debut in 1985, but
in 1986 it was renamed the Swift. It featured a modest 993 cc straight-3
engine producing 50 hp (37 kW), capable of going 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph)
in 17.9 seconds with a top speed of 141 km/h (88 mph). The G10 engine was
very light, weighing only 63 kg (139 lb), and was not very powerful
compared to other cars on the market. The suspension was lifted from the
Suzuki Alto.

In Japan the car was sold as Suzuki Cultus, and from 1985 to 1988 in the
United States and 1991 in Canada, the car was sold by General Motors as
the Chevrolet Sprint and the Geo Metro captive imports. The car was sold
from 1985 to 2000 as the Pontiac Firefly in Canada. In 1998, when General
Motors discontinued the Geo line of economy cars, the Metro was rebadged
as a Chevrolet. The Geo Metro was GM's most fuel efficient car of the
1990s. Its sedan version was the third model launched by Maruti Suzuki of
India and was sold as the Maruti 1000 and the Suzuki Forsa in Canada

The Suzuki SX4 is a compact car developed by Japanese and Italian
automakers Suzuki and Fiat and produced since 2006 to replace the Aerio as
its compact car. Although originally intended only for the European market,
the car is sold in Japan, India, South America, Australia and North America
as well. It was introduced at the 2006 Geneva Motor Show and is being built
at the Magyar Suzuki plant in Esztergom, Hungary, as well as in Japan. An
expected 60,000 units will be produced — 2/3 to be sold by Suzuki and 1/3
by Fiat, rebadged as the Sedici. Design was handled by Giorgetto Giugiaro's
Italdesign studio.

Base engines are the 1.5-litre gasoline unit identical to the one used in the
Swift and the new 1.6-litre VVT seen in the new Grand Vitara and a 1.6-litre
DDIS, this one capable of 107 PS (79 kW). However, the sales bulk will be
comprised of the Diesel version, using a sourced Fiat Multijet engine, with a
maximum output of 120 PS (88 kW) and maximum torque of 280 N·m
(207 ft·lbf).

The SX4 was initially released with a five-door hatchback body style. A
sedan version debuted at the 2007 New York Auto Show and has been
released in Japan, India and a few Eastern European markets. It replaced the
Suzuki Aerio sedan. [1]

The North-American market version arrived in 2006 as a 2007 model year as

Suzuki's entry-level AWD vehicle. Differences from the European model are
the offering of AWD as standard (2WD only available in Canada and China
AWD is optional in Canada) and a single 2.0 L 143 hp (107 kW) inline-4
gasoline engine. The SX4 is currently the lowest priced
