Thanks Adi!! I too hope this should be it - but you never know  The avatar will remain at least till I confirm the S-Cross purchase - and Jazz, even today, is a car very close to my heart. Quote:

Seems highly unlikely given the way Maruti is shouting premium premium from the roof tops and then all this Nexa hype etc.
If indeed S-cross manages to undercut the Ciaz, it will be a great successs but I have my doubts. |
I too have that doubt Adi. I asked this question specifically - "Do you really mean that S-Cross will undercut the Ciaz??" and the RM replied in affirmative. He says Maruti has assured them in their communication that the pricing will be very competitive for the DDiS 200 version. He and other RMs seemed very confident. Their point was that DDiS 320 is a beast and that one will be charged a handsome premium. But to make the product aggressive and to get initial boost of sales, the DDiS 200 will be priced very competitively. But you never know, they might be telling all this to boost the booking numbers. Will wait for a couple of days more and hope Maruti treats me better than Honda. Quote:

Kerb weight of Ertiga is not officially published in their website. However the gross weight of Ertiga is 1845 and that of S-Cross is 1670. Ciaz weighs ~100 kgs less at 1585. The kerb weight of S-Cross is 1180-1205 and that of Ciaz VDi is 1105. By the looks of it, S-Cross will be lighter than Ertiga and is designed to carry 2 passengers lesser. Ciaz however will have a better Power:Weight and Torque:Weight ratios. Quote:

I cant wait for the pricing to be out now, according to my RM it would be about 12 top spec but yours say otherwise. Not sure whats in store |
Thanks Abhi!!! Have you made the booking? and which model / variant did you go for?? Even my RM confirmed that the accessory list will be revealed only on Aug 5th. I will try to bargain with them regarding buyback if I like any of the accessory rims. I would love to have the gunmetal finish alloys that comes with the Ciaz. All this, only if the pricing suits me. Did your RM mention the 12 lakhs as ex-showroom or on-road? If it is on-road, then both our RMs are eyeing a similar figure - ~10 lakhs ex-showroom will work out to ~12 lakhs on-road. OTOH, if it is ex-showroom, that will mean Good-Bye S-Cross Quote:

I actually feel there will not be a necessary to up-size especially for the DDiS 200 variants. However, I would love to have Michelin or Bridgestone tires on this car. I might therefore try to exchange the JK for one of these and try to strike a bargain for whatever the JKs are worth. In fact our Dzire is still running on the stock JKs (completed ~35k) and we have not found it too bad - by the way, my father and I both are pretty sedate drivers and not really corner carvers.
