Maruti Suzuki engineer to grow Maruti 800cc car in India

The managing executive officer (engineering) mentioned that Maruti Suzuki India is viciously working on an all-new car, as Maruti's engineers get on working on an self-governing full-model change capability, something not practiced previously. Rao declined to discuss about the price of the new car and told the plan was to manufacture a car that would co-exist with the Alto, the country's largest-selling car with monthly amount averaging over 30K units. Rao put down various methods that the new car would be a advanced, fresh model to restore the M800 model that has already made its destination out of 13 top metro cities and will be phased out steadily from the rest of the country in the coming future.

The executive officer also said that this will be an all-new car, though based on the present platform. The scheme is to do it home at Maruti India, with least support from the Japanese parent, Suzuki. Maruti engineers have worked on some of the existing versions earlier and have also assisted Suzuki during the growth of some global car models like for instance the Swift and the A-Star. The new 800cc car will be preordained principally for the Indian car market and this particular idea behind the model was to keep on introducing new models while also mounting the company's R and D capacity to develop, structure and wangle their own model.



Maruti India also wants to fill the space created by the phase-out of the M800. Maruti 800 ccmay also survive with the Alto and the firm desire to have a two-model idea at the way in-end of the market, like they have on the upper sectors where the company have a multi-model appeal with cars Ritz, Swift and WagonR leaning around the same price tag.

New Maruti Swift to be more fuel efficient

The largest Auto Maker in the country Maruti India has announced that the new Maruti Swift will undergo complete transformation. The company is trying to make the car more fuel efficient so that it is liked by the Indian customers. The company has made changes ranging from its looks to the engine of the car. The company has mainly concentrated on the weight of the car, so that it becomes more fuel efficient. The elder sibling of this car was among the most popular hatchbacks in the country. The sales figures of this car was among the top sold hatchbacks in the country. The company has already stopped the production of the old Maruti Swift, as the company did not want to have different groups in the Swift hatchback.


The main transformation that this 2011 Swift has undergone is with its engine.The company has replaced the metal fuel tank with the plastic fuel tank, this was done to increase the mileage of the car. The weight of this car by this fuel tank has been reduced to about 30%, and the mileage is improved by 13%. This plastic fuel tank not only helps in increasing the mileage but also has other benefits like it is corrosion free, more sturdy, non explosive and most importantly it is recyclable. As claimed by ARAI the car will deliver a mileage of 17.9 kmpl in the petrol variant and 21 kmpl in the diesel variant. The size of the car has also been changed, the New Maruti Swift is a bit longer than the old one but shorter than Maruti Swift Dzire.


Its the first time in the last six years that the company has decided to have some transformation with Maruti Swift. Maruti Swift Launch is proposed early in the month of August, but there are possibilities of having some changes in the launch date. Maruti Swift price is not yet declared by the company. At present Maruti India has Maruti A-Star, Maruti Alto, Maruti Gypsy, Maruti Ritz, Maruti Swift Dzire, Maruti SX4, Maruti WagonR, Maruti Zen Estilo and Maruti Kizashi under its portfolio.
