USER OPINION

Latest Updates
Friday, 17 April 2015 09:57 AM The Maruti Suzuki Ritz VDi, a popular diesel variant, was discontinued in 2015 to make way for new models like the YRA. This decision was made after the Ritz saw relatively low sales, with only 34,500 units sold in the fiscal year 2014-15. The VDi model, known for its 23.2 kmpl mileage and 73 bhp engine, was a favorite among those seeking fuel efficiency. I think this move was necessary for Maruti Suzuki to stay competitive in the market.
Wednesday, 01 April 2015 01:41 PM In its final years, the Maruti Suzuki Ritz VDi received several updates, including the introduction of the Ritz Elate Edition, which was aimed at attracting more buyers with additional features and discounts of up to Rs 65,000. This limited edition added a touch of elegance with features like a rear spoiler and side body moulding. I believe these updates helped in keeping the model relevant until its discontinuation.
Saturday, 20 October 2012 01:46 AM The Maruti Suzuki Ritz VDi was praised for its reliability and low maintenance costs. An owner review highlighted that after 6 years and 60,000 kilometers, the car had zero major issues, with maintenance costs approximating Rs 7,000. This speaks volumes about the cars durability and cost-effectiveness. I think this is a testament to Maruti Suzukis build quality and after-sales service.
Wednesday, 01 June 2011 12:51 AM The Ritz VDi came equipped with several key features such as power steering, central locking, and an immobilizer, making it a well-rounded package in its segment. It also boasted a spacious interior and good ground clearance, making it suitable for Indian road conditions. I believe these features contributed to its popularity among practical buyers.
Sunday, 15 May 2011 07:03 AM The Maruti Suzuki Ritz VDi had a robust engine with 190 Nm of torque and 73 bhp of power, coupled with a 5-speed manual transmission. This combination provided a smooth driving experience and impressive fuel efficiency of 23.2 kmpl. I think the engine performance was one of the strong points of this vehicle.

I am riding Ritz since two years. It's a good car for small family of four members. The overall design is nice and different. Most of it, it's a fuel efficient car which is the prime need of every buyer. Initially, I got 12kmpl average through this car which later improved to 14kmpl. Yes, now it is constant at 14. I believe it depends upon the driving skills also that how well you treat your car. I always drive at moderate speed with less gear shifting. Ergonomically, its really amazing with good rolling of seats. The front seats are good enough to provide clear visibility of the road thanks to high driving position. The rear seats are also comfortable for long tours and it support lots of spaces for needy stuff. Overall, it provides smooth drive even with 5 on-board passengers. I must recommend this car to everyone.

Pros: Looks, Mileage, Comfort, Handling

Cons: Tyres, Slanting design

I am new owner of Ritz VDi. This is an excellent car and probably the best in its class. Smooth pick up, turbo in every gear, great mileage, sturdily built, great road balance- absolutely flawless. The price is slightly high. It cost me about Rs.6.14 lakhs including the music system. The price is high and or this price Maruti should have included 1) Music system 2) Defroster in rear glass 3) Parking sensor 4) Airbags Then the car will be a complete value-buy.

RITZ is a decent blend of Alto in Mileage, WagonR in Space and Console n comfort in DZire..... RITZ at your parking bay is proud ownership. Booming with no lackings or overages... Love you RITZ being my next Car.

I drove Ritz and fell in love with the response of the engine and brakes. The interiors are super cool and AC quickly chills us. Also, there is enough space for leg room and head room, hence ingress and egress is not at all a problem. Ritz, is compact safe and is highly reliable, go for it!!!

Ritz has good interiors, proper usable space and safety features like air bags and ABS. With a leading mileage of 18 kmpl, Ritz is the best hatchback.

Hi everybody, this is vikas.i purchased0 new ritz vdi on january 31st, until today it completed 5100km. I used to ride it very often ,actually my father drives it more. Evry day he used to travel 100kms avg(self driving) its performance was mind blowing, its mileage is great(18km with ac) even though i ride it too fast(120km/hr), the comfort is awesome.i can't even express in words about the thrill of driving it. One month back i had gone for a long ride with my freinds to vikarabad from hyderabad i didn't even experienced the tiredness after the journey, usually i used to get tired after one day journey, its superb overall.

Ritz is definitely the best car in its segment today.I own a petrol version,and  I own a Ritz VDI ABS great drive enjoying it 2500 KM done in city average mileage till date 15.54KMs. I don't think engine is noisy. It is smooth and refined. Enjoying driving it. Waiting for a long trip in it....

sara

I bought a new Ritz couple of weeks back, it's excellent and I feel great for my choice. It gives 19 km/pl on high way and 16/pl in city with AC. The smoothness of the engine is better than the swift or others in the class.


With full load the performance of the engine is excellent, the shift from 2-3 is much better than swift. The high seating position gives you great comfort while driving. The car is very spacious and excellent for elders to feel comfortable.

According to the specification Ritz is a good car, but the final value can be figured out after the price of the car.

Maruti should not discontinue WagonR. That is highly demandable car. We like WagonR. Still I am planning to buy a WagonR LXi in this month.

Splash should be a new model of Maruti.
