Maruti Ritz was the fifth global model for the Maruti Suzuki India after the launch of Swift, Grand Vitara, SX4 & A-Star. Based on an all-new platform, the production version of Ritz has some hints of the Swift and SX4, interspersed with a C-pillar design that harks back to the concept.
Design & Styling Of Maruti Ritz Aura
Maruti Ritz Aura is almost same in terms of looks and styling except some "Aura Edition" stickers and other stylish decals on sides of car. Ritz Aura also features side moulding on doors to give it a distinct look from regular Ritz models. Unlike traditional hatchbacks, the rear end of Maruti Ritz Aura has allowed for a thicker C-pillar and made provision for a smaller quarter glass that is not very different from the Swift. With an overall width of 1.68 metres, the Ritz Aura is 8cm wider than the Wagon R+. Smartly shaped headlights give it a friendly appearance, and they combine with a trapezoidal grille to form a “face” that reflects the new Suzuki family identity.
The Suzuki brand emblem proudly takes its place in the centre of the grille of Ritz Aura, and the entire front end of the car incorporates energy-absorbing structures for pedestrian protection. The Ritz Aura is streamlined rather than boxy, but it is uncompromised in terms of interior roominess, functionality, and configurability. Its profile displays a gently rising nose, A-pillars that blend into the roof and a roofline that gently slopes toward the back, culminating in an almost vertical tailgate. Short overhangs create a compact and neat appearance. The tailgate of Maruti Ritz Aura has an inward obtuse angle to it, something seen more often on French hatchbacks. On the inside, the Ritz Aura continues the raid on Suzuki's parts bin with the steering wheel, gear knob, door handles, indicator switches, etc first seen on the Swift/SX4. All this helps in keeping the price of Ritz Aura very competitive and affordable.
Engine Options In Maruti Ritz Aura
The Regular Ritz is available with two engine options - one petrol and one diesel. But Ritz Aura is available only in Diesel which is common-rail diesel is 1248cc engine which develops maximum power of 75 bhp, manufactured at Manesar in India. The engine is mated to a 5-speed gearbox. The gear lever of Maruti Ritz Aura is mounted high up and the driving seat is, like the steering wheel, adjustable for height. It controls an electric power steering system with about the right amount of weight but no true feel of the road. The suspension of Ritz Aura is quite firm, in an effort to keep it agile despite the height, so it feels accurate enough in corners.
Interiors Of Maruti Ritz Aura
Nothing is new here except all new MP3 CD Player with factory fitted four speakers and front tweeters. For a small car the Ritz Aura has a lot of room, with headroom especially good. The rear seat is set higher than the front seats so all occupants get a good view out, and all seats are comfortable enough. Maruti Ritz Aura is a proper 4 seater, and big enough for five at a squeeze. There's plenty of storage space including a flip-lid box on top of the dashboard, a fair glovebox and a tray ahead of the front passenger, but non-slip surfaces would make them more usable. The boot of Ritz Aura looks small, especially front-to-rear, but there's a big compartment hidden under the false floor with the space saver spare wheel hidden in another layer below that. The rear seats fold down in one movement per side, the cushion cranking forward to make space for the descending backrest.
Maruti Ritz Aura combines the sportiness of Suzuki's successful model Swift with the technologies and immense know-how of the Japanese world market leader in the mini car segment. Coloured surfaces for the dashboard of Maruti Ritz Aura create a youthful, casual look in the area of the passenger airbag and the upper part of the instrument cluster. Together with high-quality materials and a metallic-silver border on the centre console, they treat occupants to a pleasingly fresh ambience. The cockpit of Ritz Aura reflects a “less is more” approach, forming a stylish, functional space without superfluous flourishes or gimmicks.
A large speedometer positioned centrally behind the steering wheel is easy to read and has all of the indicator lamps arranged around it. A digital liquid crystal display (LCD) is positioned in the lower half of the speedometer of Ritz Aura and gives the driver additional information. In certain grades, a tachometer is separately mounted on the dashboard. The number of buttons is minimal, allowing for fewer distractions and thus raising safety. The shift lever of Ritz Aura is ergonomically shaped and is positioned relatively high in the centre console to minimise its distance from the steering wheel and permit extra storage space.
