Maruti Suzuki Ritz
₹ 4.51 Lakh Onwards
A nice car from Maruti Suzuki in the lower mid segment!
I managed to have a test drive a yesterday on Ritz. I must say its got appealing looks, aerodynamic design and looks powerful and stylish vehicle as compared to its counterparts in the same segment. One of the noticeable features is its joystick gear shift mechanism (very very smooth - a great welcome change from the existing versions in the same segment of Maruti family).
Spacious interior, large leg space, high ceiling to give a good head room, tacometer on the dashboard, digital view of fuel, temperature, foldable back seats (60/40 ratio) to 90 degrees (full flat) and a large booty space in the rear, finished with a boomerang shaped tail lights. All in all, it's good package for a price tag of Rs. 5,35,000 aprox (on road price - will vary from city to city) for the fully loaded version (zxi). The zxi version comes with air-bags for the front seats, built-in stereo system with controls on the steering wheel, ABS, to name a few features. :)
If anyone is planning to buy I10/ I20 or Swift, or Indica Vista, this is one definitely a good option.
Oh!, btw, with its 1,200 cc engine (petrol version), its got a very good power and pick-up on the 3rd gear with the AC on.
