Maruti Suzuki Estilo User Reviews

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.

Vibrant design, styling and looks

In its refreshed avatar, the Good fuel economy, New refreshed style, New K series engineLess spacious, Same old interiors

My new Estilo is good. Unfortunately I met an accident and some spares needed to replace under insurance coverage. I really surprised that Maruti a company which boasts for after sales service cannot even make a spare available for 15-20days in Kolkata. I have driven Santro all along and thought to shift to Maruti for their after sales service and mileage, but the kind of Spare parts availability scenario I have faced, it reminds me some reviews in the INTERNET sites about Spark.

I didn't expect this kind of service from Maruti. Really disappointed. I wud never suggest anybody to buy any maruti vehicle as their Spare Parts are not readily available.

As a product the car is good, Though I have only driven for about 8/9 days and after that met the accident and till now the car is in the workshop. I know there will be millions Maruti users in this forum, but I am just sharing my experience in this forum and personally feel Maruti Suzuki should not sell such crap cars if they cannot make the Spare available in the market and a customer have to wait for long. They are only responsible for their competitor's sales growth. They have taken their customers for granted and became complacent.

Good Style, Driving comfort, Better LooksEngine vibration, Pick up is not good as 4 cylnder engine.

I recently took a test drive of this car from the delaer "My Car" at Pune. Overall I found the car good. most of the things pickup, power, drivability, interiors, exteriors looked good.
But there was too much of noise from the engine and the AC. And it was unbearable like an Indica diesel. Actually I had zeroed on this car because of its looks, K-serise engine and the Maruti brand. But after the test drive I am a bit disappointed. The dealer told the car just had a major accident and because of that it was noisy. Bu, how much can we trust on this ?? I am going to take a test drive again from another dealer. I will update on that.
Can someone who already owns this new zen estilo or has taken a drive share his experiences in this regard?
Easy driving, nice pick up, good milageEngine and the AC making too much of noise

Very attractive interior and exterior. Milage should be imprived. The rear spacefeels little bit less. Milage should be more than 20. Breaks needed to improve. Over alla it's a very comfortable and good looking car.

 

Exterior More stylish,thrilling but no change can be seen on the back side compared to old estilo.extremely better than the old estilo and new wagon r.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Well spacious,very good comfort,abs were not given in the normal vxi was dissapointing. More storage space could be given.

 

Engine Performance & Fuel Economy Fuel Economy is much better, Fuel Economy is so nice and Gearbox not much better,you are saying that it had good gear shifting but reverse gear had some trouble,it's gonna stuck,some owners told me that old estilo had same problem,but expected more power from the new k series engine.

 

Ride Quality Almost perfect & excellent and super handling.revers sensor could be added as a feature.easy and comfort driving is offered.

 

Final Words Totally it's a nice car for a five membered family, since we made it sporty, music player could be given with vxi model. surely i will recommend others to buy this car.

 

Areas of improvement Fuel efficiency is good, style(interior & exterior), great exterior style, space provided is much better. Front bumper, fog lamp.power window and wing mirror is excellent, easy control.

 

when makes sporty,it's great.excellent front styling.good fuel efficiency.unexpectadly spacious.since you says,not so perfect easy gear shift,poor suspension.reverse gear got some problem.

Exterior

 Stylish Extrior, looks good.                                                       

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Its has almost all features, space is OK, seats are not comfortable for long drive. I also drove Wegon-R 2008 which has more comfortable seats.                                                                      

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Engine power is OK, but gear box is not smooth, Shifting 1st to 2nd gear not smooth, you have to push acceletator while shifting 2nd gear so in traffic jam, driving becoms hectic.                                                     

Ride Quality & Handling

 Cabin noise is more then others, Handeling and stablity on highway is fantastic. It gives smooth riding on highways.                                         

Final Words

 A good family car by Maruti. I bought this car in Nov'09. It gives 17 KMPL with A/C on highways and >14 KMPL in city.                                                                      

Areas of improvement  

 Seats need to be more comfortable, Need to work on gear and Suspension.

                                                                                                            

Good Looking/Stylish Car, Good Fuel Economy,Seats are not comfortable, Poor Pick-Up in 2nd Gear

Buying experience: It was a bit confusing in selecting the right car for us. We first went for alto k10 then ended up in estilo. This was a very good choice
Riding experience: It's very comfortable to ride and the smoothness is awesome. The car never jerks.
Details about looks, performance etc: A very compact but spacious car with great performance. The car is given an ecru beige colour with light shades inside. Smooth functioning of engine gives much comfort
Servicing and maintenance: The Indus service centre gives a very good serive for the car and the sevicing is done at the right intervals.
Pros and Cons: The looks and performance is awesome. Riding comfort is assured. Ground clearance is low which is the only thing to be noted as cons.
