Maruti India to showcase two sub-800cc cars at 2012 Auto Expo
Maruti India is going to showcase MR Wagon and Palette Kei cars at the upcoming 2012 Indian Auto Expo along with Ertiga MPV and Maruti Suzuki compact SUV concept. These cars are available in Japan and are known as Kei cars, these are city cars promising high fuel efficiency with three cylinder petrol engine. The fuel economy figures of these cars is an impressive one at more than 22 Kmpl in Japanese conditions. However, the first impressions of these cars are not really encouraging as they look a very crude mixture of other models by Suzuki.

My sincere opinion is instead of flooding new models with competition in mind, maruti can again bring ZEN and Maruti800 with extra features because almost all over india we can get spares anywhere and minor repairs can be attended by any mechanic. The britishers used to release their products with Made in England which is 200% guarantee and it will never let down the user. I wish Maruti also to earn that name and fame.
