Maruti Suzuki Zen [1996-2003] User Reviews

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox EXCELLENT EVEN AFTER 1 LAKH 41 THOUSAND KMS IM ABLE TO drive A SPEED OF 130 km , 1527 cc is enogh to drift the car and now a dayz no hatchback car is having dat displacement.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is good at city and in highways too we can easily make a long tour with  zen without any hesitation. If the maruthi suzuki company starts producing zen in diesel versions the people will again choose this car for sure. And even the resale is more for this car still people are buying for two lakhs in second hand if it is in proper condition.

Final Words I WANNA SEE AGAIN ZEN IN THE FUTURE.

Areas of improvement MAKE IT LITTLE BIGGER SINCE ENGINE IS BIG..product should be released with abs airbags etc like the top end models so dat the old car again beats the newer models.

GREAT MILEAGE EXCELLENT PICK UPI DONT THINK SO..

Buying experience: Bought a pre owned 05 years ago.Though having trouble in doing it's car fitness due to agent based system in RTO Kolkata.
Riding experience: Feels like driving a sports car.Very close to the land due it's low ground clearance.At 17th year car response is fantastic.Without power steering but still can ride single hand.Good control at speed.Ac is slow but strong if switched on at the right moment.
Details about looks, performance etc: Looks classic,performance undoubtedly great in all aspects.
Servicing and maintenance: Every six months car is serviced.Cost is equivalent to maintaing a two wheeler if driven with care.
Pros and Cons: Only cons is it's low ground clearance.Car base gets roughed up when trying to manoeuvre through humps/speed breakers especially when 4 passenger's and driver is seated.

A/C cooling of this car is also affective. Overall this car is a good car. My top speed for driving zen is 140 Km/h.

The in house brand name Maruti Suzuki doesn't need any introduction. Their product Zen is one of the pillars along with 800. Every household is aware of the car which was really famous in early 2000. The car design and engine in terms of practicality was really on point. This car was really designed with precision and the ride it give compared to the cars at that time was best. The car is spacious to carry 5 people along with a bit of luggage. The looks of the car is also decent, and still in 2019, it doesn't look like an alien design. The service after driven more than 1 Lakh Km is needed quarterly with minimum expenses. The best part about it was the availability of mechanic, most of the mechanic had knowledge about this car and they could repair it in very short span of time. The ride quality of this car was also a key factor which contributed to its success. Going for 150+ Kms ride doesn't feel uncomfort. The car maneuvers beautifully whenever needed at 3rd or 4th gear. The body roll is there but not that much which is acceptable in terms of design and practicality at that time. Pros : Nice design Good Engine Spacious for 4 and okay for 5 people. Less maintenance cost. Cons: Less Boot space Bit of body roll Noise inside the cabin at a speed of 85kms/hr. Interior were basic.
