The Maruti Versa is a multi purpose vehicle (MPV) made by Maruti Udyog Limited and sold in India. The Versa is a clone of the now discontinued Suzuki Every Landy/Carry. The van was released to the Indian market in October 2001. It is the second MPV model released by Maruti Udyog since Maruti Omni was released in 1984. There are two basic versions of this car in production; the two 8-seater DX/DX2 versions, and the 7-seater SDX version. The SDX and DX2 versions of the Versa are equipped with twin air conditioners for front and rear. The 82 bhp engine is located under the front seat.[1]The initial target audience for this vehicle were customer who planned to buy a sedan like Maruti Esteem or a utility vehicle like Tata Sumo. About seventy percent of the vehicle components are made within India.[2] The Versa has a 16-valve, 1.3-liter 4-cylinder engine generating 82hp at 6000 rpm. It is controlled by a 16-bit engine management system. A curb weight of 985 kg gives it a high power/weight ratio. The Versa can reach from 0-60mph in 13.5 seconds.[1]
