Santro holds around 90cc advantage but the figures of A-star are comparable. Kerb weight is 880kg. Power to weight ratio is 77.2 bhp/tonne. I dont think that this car will be at disadvantage because of 3-cylinder engine.
2) Agree with you. Positioning what is a new Alto nearer to i10 i.e. above Wagon R is not the best thing. But I hope that Maruti finds success. And let us wait for the final announcement on pricing. |
A-Star will be powered a all new K-series engine producing 48kW (67PS)
The engine of A-Star is totaly different from wagon R or a santro. The A-Stars CO2 emission will be even lower than 109 gm/km. This is much lower than the European emission norms that require cars to emit 120 gm/km in the future. Lower CO2 levels in cars means the car has superior fuel efficiency and gives a mileage of 20/21 km per litre.
Lets face the truth that the engine is nothing near a Wagon R or a Santro.
