Maruti Suzuki: Still in the Race
2008-04-02 17:28:00 By Priya NigamI guess we all have certain childhood memories that stick with us through the years. Mine is of my 6-feet-4-inches uncle trying (with great difficulty and a lot of help from relatives!) to get out of a Maruti 800. We were still in the era when ?having choice? meant we could choose between an Ambassador and a Fiat. This was the first time we laid eyes on a Maruti 800 and my (adventurous) uncle had somehow managed to squeeze himself in. However, getting out was another story and we feared he would have to live in it forever!Japan's Suzuki Motor Corp took the Indian market by storm and the cars quickly became extremely popular. But soon, stiff competition came knocking on the door. Sales of Maruti Suzuki India Ltd, which is mainly owned by its Japanese parent, fell to 64,421 units in March 2008, from 64,556 units in the same month last year. Total sales for the month dipped 2.1% year-on-year to 70,296 vehicles, with exports plummeting 19% to 5,875 vehicles. This decline ...

A splendid strip of tarmac and a splendid vehicle in hand, man can work wonders out. The man or should I say, the CAR of the moment takes every single obstacle with finesse and with a affirmation and authority that mid-sized sedans have forgotten how to.

Maruti Suzuki re-focusing on European Market
2007-12-15 02:15:00 Maruti Suzuki, the largest passenger carmaker in India, is likely to re-focus in the European market and compete against other auto leaders, including Fiat, Citroen, Peugeot and Toyota in the small car category.Small cars are surging in popularity in Europe after the significant rising of fuel prices, congestion and new laws that penalize high emissions were observed. This fact boosted Maruti Suzuki to produce tiny cars in the “A segment” to be exported by the end of next year.According to Michael Tyndall, European auto and component analyst for Nomura in London, “There is a trend towards downsizing in the market… There’s almost a divergence. The premium segment is growing strongly. At the same time the small car segment is growing. Everything else in the middle is suffering.”Suzuki created A-Star, a new five-door hatchback, which will comply with strict Euro 5 emission standards. It will have a one-liter aluminum engine.
