The great and stylish family car

Exterior is very good. Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) is good, should be some more spacious. Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox- k series enhance its power,pick is good 

The Estilo represents Maruti Suzuki matching pace with the changing taste and lifestyle of 'Vibrant India'. The bolder new Estilo, designed to meet the aspirations of the Indian customer, is a heady-mix of sculpted features, bold designs, new exciting colours. 

Leading the advanced technological features on the new Estilo are a new engine and a transmission system. Equipped with the popular 998cc K-series engine, the Estilo delivers a superior fuel efficiency of 18.2 kmpl (ARAI test results). This BSIV compliant engine makes the Estilo the second car in Maruti Suzuki stable that meets the BSIV norms much ahead of the effective date, April 2010. 

My test was only to check the changes made by the maruti team in the newer avtaar of Estilo.

As far as the looks are concerned the company has give major face lift to the front of the car. The bonnet is litter bigger than the previous version due to the larger K-series engine under its hood. Also the headlamp design has been changes to suit the current fad. Rest of the exterior of the vehicle is same as that of its previous version (except for the provision of rear wipers).

The interior space of the vehicle has not changed even after stretching the length of car by 10 cm (extra length utilized for bigger engine). The interior is not much changed apart from the tow tone color arrangement and some changes in the instrument panel of the car.

Coming to the newer engine of the car which is peppy yet feel something is missing. The new engine of 3 cylinder  pumps 68 BHP of power ( increase of 4 BHP from its earlier model) and have torque of 90 NM (increase of 6 NM). The gearbox is also changed but have similar driving experience as that of earlier version. Overall the new engine is more economical and adhering to the new emission norms to be implemented from year 2010.

Overall the company has tried to down play the ZEN  and highlight ESTILO branding in the newer version. The ride of the car is smooth and very comfortable to drive specially in the city traffic and will prove to be a value for money for its customers.

K Series engin, good fual economy, lovely colures, the main thing is maruti suzuki name.less spacious,radial tyre(should be tubeless tyre)
