The 2024 petrol automatic has some improvements over the 2019 base automatic that we exchanged.
4 airbags instead of 2.
6-speed automatic up from 4.
But wasted money on paddle shifters which will rarely be used.
No 360-degree camera.
Reverse camera can be bought from company accessories to avoid cancelling the extended warranty.
But static guides instead of dynamic on the screen.
No wireless Android or carplay.
No improvement in safety ratings despite double the airbags.
The following safety features should be available from Nexa as accessories :
Auto-dimming rearview mirror.
Side step.
Roof rack.
The most annoying addition is the seat belt alarm that doesn't go off unless you buckle all 4 seats Even if no one is sitting in them.
This does not improve safety and no other manufacturers do this insanity.
Maruti senior management seems to have declared war on common sense.
