Nice.
Thanks to all those who have posted the specs. All other cars in Rs. 3.5-4.5 lakh are now having a reason to worry.

Finally a long stroke motor. Lets say it develops 67.5 bhp ( 50 Kw), and with full options it weighs in at 910 kg, so we still have power to weight ratio of 74.1 bhp/ltr. So some reasonable performace expected.

Santro and Wagon R have a cause to worry. Wagon R sales are bound to drop along with Santro. Top speed of around 155 is good for this car. I hope the FE will be also equally impressive given the good torquey feel and good torque will be hopefully available from that long stroke motor.
Gearbox as good as Swift is a good thing. Wow Maruti!

@mail4ajo:
The fuel efficiency figures are not correct. Figure out this : 62.7 ltrs used for 100 kms = 1.5 ( approx ) kmpl. Might be a typing or decimal error.

EDIT : The website mentioned by sidindica states the fuel efficiency of 4.5 L/100 km = 22 kmpl. So expect the efficiency to be high.
