Front like Aspire back like Ciaz..Maruti taking consumers for granted

Exterior From the outside Dezire looks like a combination of few cars. Front resembles that of an Aspire (however the grill is lowered) / mini cooper. The back is Ciaz(also the older City) and side profile is Baleno. This is generally what Maruti does - new car is always a combination of few other ones. i truly don’t find it Dezirable. it is just an addition to a long list of Hexagonal front grill design.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Good space, low boot as compared to other cars in this category. Two tone dash board. the design though has many edges on the lower side making it look odd. Only top end version has touch screen with features that are available on all cars launched recently.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox As claimed by Maruti this engine has high fuel economy in its segment (about a KM more per litre) in petrol. the dieseal one gives around 28. Lght weight  has contributed a lot to it - almost 100 kg Lighter than outgoing Dezire, this will also result in good pickup. Gearbox on all Maruti cars have been good always.

Ride Quality & Handling Not driven it. However lighter weight car of a car which was already lightest in its category. Wonder how stable it will be at high speeds.

Final Words If you are a Maruti fan. Go for it. Else there are other options in this category offering better package.

Areas of improvement Expecting a genuine new car from Maruti...they are taking consumer loyalty for granted.
