Good Vehicle

I drive a 2004 Zen Petrol LXI, and its drivability surpasses that of an Alto or Wagon R. I get around 12 km/l in the city and 17 km/l on highways. The engine's power is a highlight, allowing confident overtaking. The seating is comfortable, though the low ground clearance is a drawback.

I use zen 2004 petrol lxi.It's drivability is too better than an alto or wagon r.I get mileage of 12 km in city and 17 km in highways.The power of the engine is what i love the most.You can confidently overtake on roads with a zen.The seating arrangement is also comfortable.The only disadvantage is its low ground clearance.Be careful when you jump to gutters.

Questions & Answers on Maruti Suzuki Zen

Answered by Zigwheels Expert
Q. I'm looking forward to buying a light weight second hand car to modify. Which one should I buy Swift/Zen/Alto? Also which variant of the chosen car?
  • Go with Swift the swift petrol engine is 1200cc and diesel is 1300cc. The other's cars is 1000cc .swift is having more power than other two cars and it's fun to drive
  • Swift Lxi
Q. What about mileage and performance - Zen?
  • In the city it gives around 10kms but on the highway around 14kms. The pick up is terrific and it is very stable on the road. It is well-built with a high gauge of rolled steel and it's engine is very trustworthy. During the 21 years of my use, except two tyre changes and a change of clutch plates, no other changes were required to be made.
  • I own a 2002 model MPFI Zen, which returns around 15-16 KMPL in city without AC and on Highway it returns 20-21 KMPL. Performance is good with couple of people not with full load.
  • Rs 500 gives me a mileage of around 110 kms. performance wise still going great.The is still working smooth. Time to time servicing is whats all the car need.

Q. Is zen available now
  • Having driven it around for nearly 2 decades in intra-city and on highway traffic, I am a big fan of the Maruti Zen (2003-LX). Clocked 68,800km so far and , 'Wow, What a car! ; Hats off to the Engineers who designed it and for Maruti Suzuki who built and mass-produced it. Why not Retrofit it as an Indian EV (Electric Vehicle), by Value Engineered modifications for Mass-Retrofitting?'
  • Yes, it is. i have done around 76500 kms on the car so far.
  • Yes .available.18 km/per liter
