Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() A sedan version of the A-Star, a la Dzire ? What will they name this ? Bizzare ? ![]() But wait, compared to the few thousands that the hatch sells, this could lead to waiting lists for the sedan. Maybe they can address the rear leg-space and greenhouse concerns raised by many. Boot will be automatically taken care of when it becomes a sedan. When the M1000 was launched, I used to wonder, why they can't release a sedan version of the M800 - you know, just add a wee boot to the car. Going by Dzire and now A-Star, maybe they will end up doing that too - an Alto-sedan. ![]() Last edited by supremeBaleno : 3rd May 2011 at 13:04. |

Why Biju ? Were you expecting a basic car with a boot ? I think that is what the M-1000 did, except that it came with AC as standard and a 5 speed gear box. That is how an extension of any hatch should be, a bigger engine with slightly better comfort, not the same "national" engine in all classes, B,C and D. |

My cousin has an Alto Lx which was converted to CNG (not sure of the CNG tank capacity, but it occupies 75% of the boot in Alto). I have an A-star, I think a similar sized tank would easily fit in the boot of A-star. |

| ![]() I have seen circular LPG tanks that fit right in to the stepney well fitted in many hatches. |

| ![]() Recently i TD almost all cars under 5L and A-star felt the most fun-to-drive. In fact i loved driving it more than Swift due to the low seating position. What spoils the party is the jerky vibrations at low rpms. If they can plonk in the 4 cylinder de-tuned version of the 1.2 K-series engine, i guess A-star will sell much much more, than it sells now. That would give crazy diesel like mileage and an amazing power to weight ratio like in alto-k10. The car has everthing what a fun-loving, young couple or unmarried young executive/ student needs. Since the boot is small,60:40 split seats at rear is also a must. Last edited by Daewood : 4th May 2011 at 12:12. |

| ![]() IMHO the Cervo would have been perfect for the Indian market but don't think Suzuki has any plans of launching it here. Attachment 220173[/quote] Talking about cervo, even the msil dealers are telling that they had no idea that the Kizashi would be launched so soon. They were of the opinion that MSIL was due for Cervo launch sometime soon, then proceed onto Kizashi ![]() Andy |

I think all versions of A-star need to have driver seat adjust as standard. | |
