Our take on this /// Verdict

The Maruti Suzuki A-Star ZXi ABS is a solid choice for those seeking a reliable and feature-packed compact car. While its exterior design may not be the most striking, it compensates with a well-appointed interior, particularly in the ZXi variant, which includes rear headrests, ABS with brake assist, and dual airbags. The cars performance is adequate for city driving, with a smooth and silent 1-liter KB series engine, although it may lack the punch for long highway drives. The handling is commendable, with light steering and manageable understeer. However, the limited luggage space and somewhat harsh ride are notable drawbacks. Overall, its a value-for-money car that prioritizes safety and fuel efficiency, making it a good option for small families or individuals concerned about running costs.

Price

When the Maruti Suzuki A-Star ZXi ABS was launched, its on-road price in India was around 4.47 lakhs in Chennai. While prices may have varied slightly across different cities, this variant was generally priced competitively. For those considering purchasing a used model, prices can vary based on the cars condition, mileage, and year of manufacture, but you can expect to pay significantly less than the original on-road price. For example, a 13-year-old model might cost between 1.5 to 2.5 lakhs, depending on the condition. The pricing strategy of Maruti Suzuki has always been to offer value for money, and the A-Star ZXi ABS is no exception, providing a balance of features and affordability.

Latest Updates

Thursday, 31 December 2020 01:43 PM The Maruti Suzuki A-Star was discontinued from the Indian market a few years ago due to declining sales and the shift in consumer preference towards other models. I think this was a strategic move by Maruti to focus on more popular models like the Swift and Dzire.

Friday, 15 August 2014 12:09 AM The Maruti A-Star ZXi variant was notable for including ABS as a standard feature, which was a significant safety enhancement at the time of its release. This feature helped in improving the braking performance of the vehicle. I believe this was a step in the right direction for safety in the Indian automotive market.

Thursday, 20 June 2013 06:57 PM The A-Star ZXi came with a 1.0-litre, 3-cylinder petrol engine producing 67 PS and 90 Nm of torque, paired with a manual transmission. The engine was known for its fuel efficiency and smooth operation. I think the engine was well-suited for city driving.

Tuesday, 10 April 2012 01:43 AM The A-Star ZXi had a sleek design with features like front and rear power windows, central locking, and a music system. It also had a dual-tone interior and adjustable front headrests. I believe the design was quite appealing for its time.

Saturday, 25 February 2012 03:32 PM The Maruti A-Star ZXi was priced around Rs 4.6 lakh to Rs 5.6 lakh, depending on the region and additional features. It was available in several variants, including the ZXi and ZXi Optional. I think the pricing was competitive in the hatchback segment.

Thursday, 15 January 2009 07:08 PM The Maruti A-Star was launched in India in 2008 and initially received a good response due to its fuel efficiency and compact design. However, over time, its popularity waned. I believe the market shift towards other models and lack of significant updates contributed to its decline.

Mileage

Friday, 22 November 2024 03:55 AM The Maruti Suzuki A-Star ZXi ABS boasts impressive fuel economy, with claimed mileage figures of 19.6 kmpl on the highway and 17 kmpl in the city. Real-world experiences from owners suggest that these figures are achievable, with some reporting up to 19.2 kmpl with AC and 23.3 kmpl without AC. This makes the A-Star an excellent choice for those concerned about running costs, especially in urban driving conditions.
