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.
The new Estilo comes with new efficient transmission technology and
advanced 'Detent pin' gear shift mechanism for smooth and precise gear
shift feeling for the customers.
Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Shinzo Nakanishi, Managing Director and
CEO, Maruti Suzuki India Limited said, "The new Estilo, with a new
technology engine and a new transmission, is sure to delight the
customer. We are confident that the new Estilo with its bolder new
design and interiors will add to the competitive edge of Maruti Suzuki
in compact car segment."
On the refreshed Estilo, that packages contemporary features and style
with next generation technology, he added, "Product upgradation is an
integral part of Maruti Suzuki's business strategy and future plans.
This is a way to include feedback from the customers and offer better
products that match their tastes."
The compact hatchback new Estilo is a part of the growing A2 compact
segment where Maruti Suzuki is the established market leader with a
market share of 58 per cent.
Superior technology Engine
The Maruti Suzuki new Estilo houses the K-series 'K10B' engine under the
hood. The 998cc three-cylinder engine delivers a power of 68 PS@ 6200rpm
and a higher torque of 90Nm @ 3500rpm. The improved engine technology
enables more power, low NVH (Noise, Vibration and Harshness) and the
lighter weight of the engine helps to increase the fuel efficiency with
lower emissions. The new Estilo comes with ARAI certified fuel
efficiency of 18.2 kmpl.
Technical highlights of the K10B engine include DOHC (Double Overhead
Cam shaft) with offset crank shaft, resulting in better volumetric
efficiency, improved power and FE, high compression ratio, plastic
intake manifolds for reducing weight and suction losses, Smart
Distributor-less ignition (SDLi) system with dedicated plug top coils
and advanced injector for superior atomization. The engine oil in the
new technology K10B engine is required to be changed only after 10,000
km thus lowering the running cost.
Environment friendly
The new Estilo is the second model from the Maruti Suzuki stable which
is BSIV compliant, thanks to the K series engine. The Estilo is also ELV
compliant and 89% of the parts are environment friendly meeting ELV
norms. Further, to take on the forthcoming norms of 10% Ethanol blending
of petrol, the new Estilo is also E-10 compliant. Maruti Suzuki is
bringing these environment-friendly features to its range of cars much
ahead of the industry adopting these norms.
Superior Transmission
A new transmission technology and a number of innovations make the new
Estilo a combination of power and pleasure.
The new Estilo comes with a new Cable-type transmission technology. The
five-speed manual gear with synchromesh is now changed to Cable type as
against Rod-type, mechanical transmission earlier. This new transmission
reduces the gear shifting effort in the new Estilo, by reducing
mechanical losses.
The new Estilo has been fitted with an advanced 'detent pin' gear shift
and select mechanism. This mechanism eliminates the sliding friction (or
line contact) between parts and provides rolling friction (or point
contact). This technology, in turn, facilitates smoother transition of
gears, and is a first among all Maruti Suzuki products.
These engineering changes, based on customer feedback, provide gear
shift assistance for the driver (the gear smoothly goes into its
position with minimal effort of the driver). The mechanism reduces the
friction and hysteresis losses, thereby proving smooth and precise
shifting of gears. It also removes the feeling of stickiness during gear
shift process.
Safety, Security & Comfort
The new Estilo is high on safety, security and comfort.
Improved occupant safety in the form of increase in the frontal impact
absorbing area, as the distance between steering wheel and front bumper
is increased.
The VXi variant comes equipped with front and rear fog lamps, rear wiper
and washer. Safety features like Airbag (driver side) and ABS are
provided as option in the VXi variant.
In terms of vehicle security the VXi variant comes with i-CATS
integrated keys, five-door central locking and anti-theft alarm.
Rear parcel shelf adds to the passenger convenience and comfort in the
VXi variant. Based on customer feedback, the suspension of the new
Estilo has been fine tuned to provide improved ride and handling.
Compact and Convenient
The new Estilo has got a minimum ground clearance of 165 mm and
wheelbase of 2360 mm. The tight turning radius of 4.6 meters makes the
Estilo a favored car in tight parking and driving conditions.
