Small car-works under wraps in Maruti

While the company is not ready to offer a new car below the 800 range, Maruti is allegedly working on a brand-new smallie and they are calling it ‘YR9’. The car is supposed to be WagonR lookalike. While these are just rumors, what is confirmed for sure is that a luxury sedan called Dzire based on the hatchback Swift will be introduced in second quarter. Apart from this, new concept cars by Maruti called A-Star and Splash are already in pipeline as is a new version of Zen Estilo.

About not introducing a car to compete with Nano, the MD of Maruti Mr. Shinzo Nakanishi says, “The car (Maruti 800) is already depreciated and the remaining costs – labour, parts and other fixed costs – cannot be reduced now.”
