Going by Maruti's performance in most of the models - discounts are a distnt dream.

i believe they should be at par.
and if you drive more than 3000 kms a month will the fuel bill be drastically different.

I think they took their cues for the back from the Renault Megane or the failed Avantime.


Cant really fault them as the Megane was a success.

Oh no, not this again!

This was the car that I had mentioned in the forum, sometime back, on the sighting at Singapore!

Wow! I thought it was bad in flesh. The photos is even worse!!!

Brilliant review. Ugly rear & interior fabric. This is bound to eat into the Swift's sales. If someone were to use better rims & wider rubber, the effect should be substantial improvement over stock !!


Wonder when - if at all, will MUL start making asthetically pleasing cars ?? The Grand Vitara is by far the best looking of the stable, followed by the Swift. All the others are a no go in the looks department.

Just perfect review...! 10/10.

Hope maruti provide ABS on top diesel variant.

I just checked the specs
Hyundai kappa - 1197 cc - 80 ps
Maruti KB12 - 1197 cc - 85 ps (DEFINATELY NOT SAME POWER)

the suzuki has lived up to its heritage of rev-happy engines... and since it belongs to the same KB series engine family as the A-Star, i dont think mileage should be an issue here.. thionk the ARAI says 17.7kmpl .

(i think maruti has taken a lead here in publishing the ARAI (GOVT. ORG) certified mileage figures for their cars, not those typical automagazine figures as used by other manufacturers... i have serious doubt in all their car of the year COTY decisions. This shows the confidence that maruti has in its products)

Look wise IMO Ritz is one of the worst looking car produced by maruti ever.

Seems to be somebody have hit from behind with a big rode.

When I had spoken to a Hyundai dealer earlier this month he had offered for I10 Era, Insurance discound and about 8-10K cash discount (or a sound system with front two speakers free) plus the mats and mud flaps etc!! So I can consider atleast the same for Magna too atleast.

Very True!
Ritx Vxi is 4.37L in Mumbai. Adding the cost of a good basic music system + speakers at about 15K + approx 50K for registration and insurance,
it's about 5.02 lacs on-the-road for the petrol Ritz Vxi!

You can pick up a top-end Vista Aura Quadrajet in Mumbai for 5.25 OTR (insurance discount and corporate discounts).

Much more room than the Ritz, with the brilliant diesel Quadrajet.

And it has features lots of features that Ritz Vxi does not have:

1. Tilt Steering,
2. parcel tray,
3. Seat height adjuster,
4. rear window defogger,
5. rear window wiper+washer,
6. adjustable lumbar support,
7. body color outside door handles + outside mirrors

Just about 20K more.

So, if you want a small premium hatch, you have i10 (with much better interior quality than Maruti cars).
And, if want a large, spacious hatch, which also happens to be a very economical and smooth diesel, you have Vista Quadrajet.

Swift sells for sporty style - doesn't need to be make sense in the VFM equation. Ritz is supposed to be a family hatch for practical minded people (the original WagonR segment). I think it will have problems after the initial sales.
Of course, Maruti can always create a waiting list and create a hype.

If you are comparing products like that then who will buy the skoda fabia,it has nothing more than most of these cars.If the intention is to buy a car other than maruti then there can be 100 reasons for that,but genuine thoughts would reveal that for that difference of 20k we can get most of the things done if required except maybe the seat height adjuster.But there are people who would also think of other aspects like resale,cost of spares etc and would go for the ritz isnt it.

Understandable that the Ritz might be better in build but feature wise even the Magna appears to be better. Whereas to do a price comparison, it should be compared with the I10 Sportz.

Engine wise both are same and performance wise if at all any difference, it will be marginal ! Ritz Vxi(85@6000) and Magna (80@5200) dont know how to exactly convert it but appears to be nearby!

How will you compare the two? Any other expert who can guide, will be much obliged.

Booked mine today. I had been looking for a car for my family to drive around in. Cant ezpect them to sit beside me with all that sound from swift thats fitted with a performance filter as well as an HKS Uni Can. The Ritz although a bit ugly at the rear bring a fresh change to this segment. I could have easily booked the Swift DDIS, but have opted for this one. It seemed like a famliy could travel safe and comfortably in this. I did feel it was a bit more spacious than the Swift. Nevertheless - the swift wil always rock in this segment.

Additionally, I definatley wanted the Swift DDIS engine - i am getting the same engine at a lowered cost.

Whats the promised delivery time. And did you TD the car.

Terrific response and good rate of bookings are recieved at the different dealers in kerala.Initially the allocation would be there but the news is that the allocation would reduce by 2/3rd from the third month onwards.So the initial customers would get the vehicle immediately.
