Base Model, more waiting time

I booked the Kushaq Base Model Classic Variant almost 2 months ago, still on September 1st, 2024, they said that the company is not producing the cars now, and production has not started yet. So long time waiting even after booked earlier at the Indore location.

Excellent city & highway luxury sedan with single tone dull interiors

<P>Things which can improve the popularity of this sedan are:</P> <P>1.Give two tone biege interiors with leather upholstery.</P> <P>2.Give power antenna as standard fitment.</P> <P>3.Introduce 15 inches radials alloys&nbsp;as standard fitment.</P> <P>4.If a CNG version is introduced it definitely would kill the competition.</P> <P>5.Change rear lamp assembly to a curvish/round one.</P> <P>Maruti should not discontinue the production of this sedan because of its popularity and advantages(which is reflected in the monthly sales figures),rather&nbsp;company should try to make it a more attractive package(as suggested above 1-5).A mistake should not be committed to leave 5-5.5 lacs bracket vacant(more so,when Baleno is a steal at&nbsp;its present price)&nbsp;&nbsp;after a new sedan(6-7 lacs)is introduced in near future.</P> <P>In nut shell,Baleno should auger well for Maruti company if this seadan is managed well.</P>Good fuel economy(14-15 in city with AC),Excellent torque at low speeds(rpm)& rear & front vision.Dull interiors,Low ground clearance,Flat rear lamps.
