Maruti Zen

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Maruti Zen is a 5-door hatchback sold in India.


The former version of the Zen was similar to 1994 Maruti Alto. Production of that model Zen ceased in March 2006,[1] to be succeeded by an all new Zen, called the Zen Estilo in December 2006 .[2]

This was part of Maruti Udyog's Indian market strategy to launch a new car annually for the next five years .The new Zen has the same engine and chassis as the Maruti Wagon R; both being based on the Suzuki MR Wagon (Nissan Moco).[3] The pricing is also nearly the same as the Wagon R. The Maruti Alto, Wagon R and the new Zen Estilo all share the same chassis.
