Maruti Suzuki Ritz User Reviews

Exterior It is okay-okay. I am not interested in Exterior appearance. 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Initially I was not aware about comfort and safty. Later I realised that it hsd a key-role in my rides. Anyway I trapped. No air-bag. No ABS. For indian roads it is needed. No motor adjustment raer view mirrors. I am so happy with the style of gear and rp meter. Need some more boot-space for back seats.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Very good in engine performance. With 3rd gear I can easily ramp up. There is no delay. Good in mileage. 

Ride Quality & Handling Without abs and airbag I am not confident to cross the 100 Kmph. According to it's engine performance, makers should add these features.

Final Words If you interested in Long rides, please don't. Because comfortness and safty are important factor.

Areas of improvement Need to improve the comfort and safty. Add the Air-bag and ABS features in all models.

Exterior Good Aerodynamic shap.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Good.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine Performance is Good. Fuel economy is Great. I have got 20 Km Per litter millage even at the speed of 120 - 130 km per hour with Ac on. I had gone to Mumbai to Ahmedabad in Feb 2016. I had fulled my car tank with 32 litter disel @1600 rupees and when i had checked my trip meter after reaching to Ahmedabad it was 647 km completed.

Ride Quality & Handling Great. You will feel much controlled while driving on the highways. It will not loose controls while drinving at the corners of the road.

Final Words Great Car to buy who love to drive car which given Good pick up and millage. It is realy highway cruser.

Areas of improvement Company fitted reverse parking camera in ZDI variants, Music systems with Blue tooth connectivity and navigation system in top end variants or as optional basis with as per customer demand.

Exterior The exterior of the car is pretty well designed. The car is really beautiful when slight modified.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The interior is very poor. The fibre and plastic components starts becoming shaky after a short usage in roads of India. The rear space is very less for a 6ft person. Needs more improvement on comfort in the rear seat. The materials used in Ritz or any Maruti-suzuki is not of a high quality compared to Honda, Hyundai etc.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine DDis is pretty well engine. The turbo activation after 2000 rpm is quiet breathtaking. Engine have no complaints and routine maintanance is what necessary (engine oil. coolant, filter etc.). The fuel economy is also quiet good. 18-19 kmpl in Urban and 19-22 in highways. The engine noise starts coming up after 20k miles.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is quiet impressive. It have a good stability if you have changed to a much bigger tires. Mr preference Yokohoma 205-14 / 65. it gives a great stability then. Handling in curves is also impressive. Only to deal with the turbo, the turbo activates only after 2000 rpm.Since the car is very much weightless, caution on not exceeding 120 since the breaks are also not so powerful

Final Words Overall a nice and good car who loves to have a great fuel economy but not a great drive. 

Areas of improvement Interior, Safety, Soundless engine and more quality materials.

Ritz Vdi

Exterior

Look are subjective, personally i like it.but couple of issues: paint quality is really bad, body is not that stongly built. Generally in city driving conditions it is very often that you endup getting scratches and dents, but for this car it seems like paint easily gets scrached off and easily dented.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

Internally is it feels sturdy built. very roomy, very comfortable for long drives, because of high seating position. decent space at the back. commanding driving view, boot is not that spacious..but again its a hatchback. boot might be marginally less than swift.

very minimal cabin noise...sometimes u dont even feel if engine is running when you are waiting at a traffic signal.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

full marks here...its a beast in terms of power and pickup and can easily overtake any car.

even after completing 35000 kms..no issues with engine or performance. gives mileage of about 17-18kmpl in city(hyderabad).

Ride Quality & Handling

very smooth, good suspunsion. when turbo kicks in...its a joy ride. steering very responsive.

easy to manuver in city and at no time you feel short of power

Final Words

best hatchback, and VFM car.

Areas of improvement  

paint quality and exterior build quality. 

Complete booking & delivery experience from the dealership:

The booking experience was very smooth. We faced no problems as such. Just a hours delay while taking the car. The PDI was not offered.

Usage: The car is used only by me. Initially the car had a very high running- around 80 kms a day and now average 60 kms per day.

Exterior Good Design and different style. Good ground clearance.

Overall build quality and fit & finish: Maruti has matured over years.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Ample space both in front and rear. It is easy for me to get in and out without hitting my head. Seats are comfortable to sit. Rear opening is taller. easier for Elderly people to enter and leave out.

The design is ergonomic and the best thing about this car is the positioning of the gear lever. It is extremely comfortable once you get used to it.

However the Front Seat Foam contour should be firm and should hold the driver and co-driver.

Cabin noise is Less. Good AC. Power steering is easier and normal to handle. Gear Knob position is good. No need to rub the passenger side seats during gear shift. Rear Passenger also has good view on the Road front.

I do not know what’s the issue but the ac filter stinks for sometime if I do not open the windows. But if I allow outside air then the smell subsides.

Rear Seat emits some rubbing sound which is sometimes irritating particularly when travelling alone.

AC: The ac is effective even during the hot summers of Chennai. But the flow of air is restricted. If the air vents are turned directly towards the person he/she is chilled to the bones. But the cabin takes some time to cool.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Excellent performance of Engine and good in Fuel Economy Avg 19 Kmpl.

Ride Quality & Handling Good suspension and handling is easier. No issues till now in cornering during speeds.

Final Words I respect this car and able to feel the performance in fuel economy and comfort. Except for few missing features this car is otherwise good to own for first time buyers.

Areas of improvement Features are bit less like(Climate Control AC, Electrically adjustable ORVM, Integrated Audio system, Parking sensors)
