| Maruti plans to produce close to 80,000 units of the YRA model in the first year of its launch. Of this, 60% will be exported. Close to 5,000 units are likely to be shipped to Japan, said one of the two people cited earlier. The idea is to first gauge the acceptability of a made-in-India model in a mature market like Japan, and subsequently export more |
| Indeed, “acceptability of the models by the Japanese customers will be the key.Given this, the model will likely be loaded with high-end features, some unheard of in the compact car segment in the Indian market. |
| Through its Indian subsidiary, Suzuki Motor plans to control 50% of the local passenger car market by 2020. |
| YRA will get an all-new K12B 1242cc petrol motor mated to a 5-speed transmission and a CVT gearbox, a K10C Boosterjet motor and a 1.4 K-Series petrol motor. |
| It will further get Idling Start/Stop technology for improved fuel efficiency |
| The diesel motor that will come with it, there will be the tried and tested 1.3-litre DDiS diesel motor which will churn out 90 bhp-200 Nm |

Wow! It's like TATA importing a particular model of it's truck from some offshore manufacturing unit, say in South Africa. Question is, will Japanese accept a 'Made in India' car? |

| As indicated by the number plates, the test mule should be registered to the automaker’s European subsidiary located in Bensheim town in the Bergstrasse district, Germany. |
| The proportions will be similar to the concept. The design and styling will be very European with a short height, wider body and a steeply-angled rear-end. Under the hood, there will be a 1.0-litre direct-injection turbocharged three-cylinder petrol engine, which Suzuki calls the ‘Boosterjet’ engine. A mild hybrid system called SVHS will also be available. Additionally, the 1.2-litre petrol and 1.3-litre diesel engines from the Swift may also be offered in Europe, and like in the Swift, a 4WD system could be optional. |
| Based on the ‘new-generation platform’, the sub-compact hatchback will be positioned alongside the Swift, but targeted at those buyers who want weigh ride quality, comfort, spaciousness and efficiency over sporty driving which the Swift offers plenty of |

What is this? A joke of some sorts? Wheres the differentiator, between this and a mashup of Swift, Ritz & SX4 S-Cross? This is like, you can wear anything as long as its a "Red TShirt". Can someone say to MS, enough with the hatches...we dont want every hue and shade there is of a hatchback vehicle? As a current owner of MS's (ex) most expensive offering, I feel frustrated not having anything to look upto...instead of a premium MUV or Sedan story, I keep seeing these highly monotonous variations of what is esentially a Hatch. Thanks for the thread though, just highly deflated seeing this company suck the juice out of vehicle-diversity. |
