Maruti Suzuki Zen User Reviews

 

Exterior The VXi version still manages to command some attention with its stylish and sleek design. The rear panel of lighting is impressive.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The front seats offer lot of space and good headroom as well. The rear seats have slightly less legroom but the space is ideal to comfortably seat even two fat people. Three passengers can squeeze for a short drive though. Set of features are limited to Radio/Casette player (outdated now), AC panel works well to cool off some heat.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The all aluminium engine is responsive. The gearshifts are sleek. Fuel economy is acceptable under the conditions and period when the car was designed and launched.

Ride Quality & Handling  Driving is very comfortable and it is easy to manouevre the car through the city roads. The power steering makes driving light and comfortable.

Final Words  Overall, it is a very good value for money for a perfect compact car that still holds a good premium. The ratings stands much taller that some of the contemporary compact cars of this generation. A true Zen from Maruti Suzuki.

Areas of improvement A slightly more powerful AC and better legroom for rear passengers. A roof top light for rear passengers would have been very useful.

Sleek design,driving comfortLimited boot space

Exterior Maruti Suzuki Zen have a cassic looks. As comparedto the cars launched with Maruti Suzuki Zen it has good looks and pic up

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The interior are poor. It has low powerd ac also it has less leg roomthe speedo-meter has old looks it needs to be some stylish but a great car at this low  price.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Performance is overall good i am using this car from 9 years it needs very low maitainance I have spend only RS1098 on its spare parts the fuel economy is good on city as well as on heihways i get 20kmpl millage on the highways and in city i got 16kmpl.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride qualityis good it has so simple handeling but it does not have the power stering but it is good for handeling and also good for learner

Final Words I am thinking why maruti suzuki stopped the moddleof Maruti Suzuki Zen. It is good than alto or tata nano.

Areas of improvement Leg room, ac power, powerstering& power windows should be added and withthe new looks and same engine the model should be restrted again because i sold 9 year old car for Rs1,30,000.

good fuel economy style is ok,pick up is goodlow power of ac, leg room

Well, the car is a delight to drive. The ride quality is decent though the car surely lacks in the performance sector. The AC sucks out the life out of the engine so there is very little to be expected for an enthusiast. However it is fairly adequate for city driving.
The gearbox is a real marvel and there is no rubbery feel. The shifts are precise and the throw is just right.
The interiors are just average but I prefer the dashboard design to Santro, WagonR, Estilo and the other counterparts of the segment. The rear bench lacks both in headroom and legroom and it is a tight fit for three individuals of medium built.
I would recommend the car for city driving only.
The style, though has begun to show its age but still it can proudly boast of some steadfast followers, including me.
Driving this car is certainly a very enriching, unforgettable experience. I still cherish driving this adorable princess.
Decent fuel economy, low on maintenance, perfect for city driving,decent ride qualitycompromised headroom and legroom, cramped interiors, emaciated AC

GOOD PICK UP,GOOD MILAGE,EASY TO MAINTAIN, GOOD ROAD GRIPLESS SPACE, SMALL BOOT, LOW REAR SEAT

Exterior

 THE EXTERIORS ARE GOOD .

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

MANY OF THEM SAY THAT ALTO IS A GOOD LOW COST CAR BUT I DO NOT THINK SO   BECAUSE THE INTERIORS OF ZEN IS BETTER THAN ALTO. I LIKE THE SHAPE OF ZEN VXI BHARATH III.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 THE ENGINE COOLING IS GOOD THE ENGINE IS VERY GOOD AND NEAT TO SEE. POWER IS LESS WITH A/C.The fuel economy is the boon for my kind of people moving a lot in city and looking for cheap cars.. with a/c I get 15 in the city and in the highways 17. But couple of times I have done 600km trips in this car . It returned me 21kms without a/c in highways.The second gear is a pain in this car. You have to move it to the third which is a treat to drive.

Ride Quality & Handling

  The ride quality is good in smooth roads. Being a small car its easy to drive in the city . There are few vibrations when the car starts to move.

Final Words

 

A Real Good car from Maruthi. But still wonder why things have not moved up. The alto which we have is three years old and I feel its wear and tear is much worse than the zen.

Areas of improvement  

 NOTHING

 

Good fuel economy, Good style,good interiors,goodBit congested in the back, less legroom, low power with AC on

It's brilliant. It's power, mileage, comfort, speed, pickup, everything is mind blowing. Its the best car i have ever rode in this range. It'ssound is also great when I start it every morning. I have driven an Alto, WagonR and many more in this range. But MARUTI SUZUKI ZEN VXI is great. It's a perfect car. Neither too small nor too big. Neither too short nor too long. Whenever I drive it I get a good feeling.

NANA

Good interiors, reliable and very fuel efficient, maintenance would be the cheapest around. Runs like a cheetah... It was a wrong decision by Maruti Mgmt to stop production of this model!!Low Maintenance, good milage, comfortableBack seats are little congested, Not very powerful A/C

Zen is a perfect vehicle to travaling short places and cities it is a sports type vehicle it perfectly use to single use its features and specifications is very nice and better iam like thies one

Exterior I am using this car since 2006. It still looks brand new. While I, at times get tempted to go for a bigger car , one look at this and I give up my idea of selling it. It has been faithful to me throught and never ever gave a problem

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Well, Zen is not a great car in these criteria. Interior is not spacy and it is little cumbersome for tall people to enter the car.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine performance is excellent, always in josh. I get even now, an average of more than 15 km( this includes city and highway driving) with ac on.

Ride Quality & Handling Very good with a silky smooth touch. My wife says that when she sits in this car, she doestnt even realize when it starts. I enjoy driving the vehicle which can go through crowded streets and high ways with equal ease.

Final Words Excellent car with an affordable price. I still fail to understand the logic of suzuki's to discontinue its production.

Areas of improvement Nil since the car is no more under production.

Cute looks,easy to drive,good mileage,good pick up even with ac on climbs, practically NIL maintananSlightly difficult for tall persons to enter
