New Zen Estilo brochure-enjoy!

pulsar56 · 24th August 2009, 16:43

Thanks Sid for the brochure. Now it looks little less boxy!

Maruti was planning to drop 'Zen' from the Estilo right?

Ardy · 24th August 2009, 16:46

It looks much better than the previous version. And its a good move by MUL to bring in KB series engine in this baby. I sincerely hope that Estilo does better than Zen Estilo which IMHO was a completely crap model and could not live up to the ZEN brand value.

The Devil's Horns type tail lights are not changed - a huge disappointment for me. The front looks good now. The VXi seems to be wider by 20mm.

musicmanaman · 24th August 2009, 16:59

The back seat looks to upright for comfort, as always with the Estilo.
Nice scoop though Sid.

chncar · 24th August 2009, 17:04

This is disappointing. Instead of putting in the 1.2 engine from the Ritz, they have used the under-powered and noisy 3-cylinder from the A-Star.

Kudos Sid on the scoop...You are unquestionably the king of new launch scoops, I doubt any auto journalists have the up-to-date info that you are able to get.

pradkumar · 24th August 2009, 17:06

Darn! So they plonked the 3-pot 998 cc K series engine into the Estillo. They should at least give the 1.2 as an option.

romeomidhun · 24th August 2009, 17:07

Thanks, Sid!

Still have 'ZEN' in its name?

NOTORIOUS · 24th August 2009, 17:08

looking good now. will see the price.

@Sidindica Bhai AApko Sab Kuch Pehle Kaise Pata Lag Jata Hai ????

gpa · 24th August 2009, 17:18

I am disappointed with MUL. They should have plonked in the 1.2 litre K-Series engine instead of the 999 cc one. Would have been a great hatch then.

I think in the original Estilo, ZEN was bigger and Estilo smaller. Here, its the other way round. SX4 and Innova mated and delivered an Estilo was born.

prince_pervez · 24th August 2009, 17:26

Much better than the previous. But the pre-estilo one was still best. Now don't kill me.

vasudeva · 24th August 2009, 17:28

At least the photos look good. No comments about the engine.
One big issue: even the photos of old Zen Estilo looked good, and there was quite a lot of pre-sale excitement in late-2006.

yzfrj · 24th August 2009, 17:28

The "duck billed platypus" has been re done to look even uglier.
Well done MUL.

You guys needs to get your head examined.

I don't care if it has a V8, giving 20km/ltr, it just a ugly looking car that is not worthy to carry the "Zen" name.

sohail99 · 24th August 2009, 17:29

As I see it, they've just softened the sharp lines of the head, and tail lamps.
Interiors seem roomy, judging by the door length.

Dunno why, but its looking more like a wagon / van now!
