| This has easily been the most exciting segment in India since the last couple of years, ever since the Suzuki Swift came and changed the rules of the Indian car game. Fairly spacious on the inside yet non-imposing from the outside, and advantages of driveability combined with decent fuel efficiency, this segment comes closest to offering the best of both worlds. It has also seen the most excitement in recent times, with the Indica Vista, the Fiat Grande Punto and the Maruti Suzuki Ritz, which also happens to be the segment topper in our opinion. Maruti Suzuki Ritz The latest offering from the Suzuki stables is yet another winner as far as large hatches are concerned. While the Ritz' design may be a matter of personal opinion the contemporary shape grows on you the more you look at it - especially at the rear. The Ritz pips none other than its mighty sibling the Swift from the top spot owing to plusher and younger interiors, but the real reason why this car is doing so well is because of its engine options. Armed with either the now-legendary 1.3 DDiS diesel or the lean-mean K12M 1.2 litre petrol mill, the Ritz is a great package overall. Adding to the Ritz' appeal is its great suspension setup that not only irons out bumps but supports great handling as well when pushed hard. Great fuel efficiency and competitive pricing further settles the argument. Test Drive - Maruti Suzuki Ritz >> |
