Maruti Suzuki has launched the A-Star in the market today. Like all the popular Maruti hatchbacks now a days, the car comes in three versions - Lxi, Vxi and the ZXi. The top-end ZXi variant comes ABS + EBD (Electronic Brake Force and Air-Bags as standard and rear window de-fogger along with a dash integrated music system with 4-speaker and an AUX-IN to connect your iPods, which is also shared with the VXi variant.
The car comes with Suzuki’s 3-Cylinder, 1 Litre KB series engine with 67 Ps of maximum power @ 6200 rpm and 90 nm of torque @ 3500 rpm. Interestingly, this is the only 3-Cylinder engine currently on sale in the Indian market except for the 800 cc unit in another Maruti, the 800. 3 Cylinder engines are inherently imbalanced compared to a 4-Cylinder unit which is better balanced and it would be intesreting to see how maruti suzuki have taken care of the NVH.
The car rides on 13-inch tubeless tyres 155/80 R13 and comes with gas-charged dampers, which reacts to bumps instantlty, and hence are better. Front suspension is the universal Mc Pherson Struts and Coil Springs while rear is an Isolated Trailing Link Suspension with Coil Springs.
The car will be built exclusively in India for the domestic market and will be exported to 150 countries accross Europe, Middle East, Latin America, Asia, Australlia and Africa.
The A-Star comes in a total of 9 colors: Azure Grey, Arctic White, Sunlight Copper, Midnight Black, Paradise Blue, Silky Silver, Healing Green, Bright Red and Desert Brown. The A-Star replaces the Alto in Europe and will be named Suzuki Celerio for some markets. Nissan will also market this car as Pixo in Middle East and African markets.
