Can the Maruti Tour H2’s high fuel efficiency make up for its lack of power for taxi use?
30 December 2024 09:02
It really depends on where you’re operating. The Tour H2 is perfect in flat, urban areas. However, it could be a problem in hilly regions or highway rich routes because of the lack of power.

You all forget about passenger comfort. Less power for a car means it feels strained and you don’t have a comfortable ride. If it saves money, what is the cost to customer satisfaction?

As a fleet manager the Tour H2 is great. This means we can keep our cars on the road for longer between fill ups, and ultimately increase productivity. It's worth the power trade off.
Can the Maruti Tour H2’s high fuel efficiency make up for its lack of power for taxi use?

I believe we are missing the environmental side. Lower power is also lower emissions. This could be a big advantage for taxi operators in increasingly eco conscious cities.

Most taxi trips are short and in slow traffic, so let’s be real. For the majority of taxi use cases, the high fuel efficiency is way more relevant than top end power.
Is the absence of modern safety features on the Maruti Tour H2 a deal breaker for responsible fleet operators?
30 December 2024 09:02
It's definitely a concern. Any commercial vehicle should have safety as its number one priority. Not stocking advanced safety features on the Tour H2 is a big miss from Maruti and could be a liability by fleet operators.
Is the absence of modern safety features on the Maruti Tour H2 a deal breaker for responsible fleet operators?
30 December 2024 09:02
I disagree. All legal safety requirements are met by the Tour H2. Nice as these advanced features are, they come with a price. This means that smaller operators can afford newer, inherently safer vehicles than the older ones that they might otherwise use.
Is the absence of modern safety features on the Maruti Tour H2 a deal breaker for responsible fleet operators?
30 December 2024 09:02
As a fleet manager, I'm torn. Lower price is attractive, but I am concerned about accidents costs and the reputation hit we may suffer if our passengers perceive our vehicles as unsafe.
Is the absence of modern safety features on the Maruti Tour H2 a deal breaker for responsible fleet operators?
30 December 2024 09:02
Most taxi rides occur in slow, urban traffic, and you're all forgetting that. For this environment, the basic safety features are sufficient. Highway driving is more critical to advanced systems.
Is the absence of modern safety features on the Maruti Tour H2 a deal breaker for responsible fleet operators?
30 December 2024 09:02
Maruti miss the opportunity, I believe. Instead, they could have brought in a safer Tour H2 as a premium option allowing operators to differentiate themselves on safety.
Is the absence of modern safety features on the Maruti Tour H2 a deal breaker for responsible fleet operators?
30 December 2024 09:02
Now let’s look at the drivers as well. These vehicles are spent hours in every day. Shouldn't they be protected with modern safety features in their workplace?
Is the absence of modern safety features on the Maruti Tour H2 a deal breaker for responsible fleet operators?
30 December 2024 09:02
I actually check the safety features of the taxis I ride in as a passenger. Even if they’re cheaper, I’d be less likely to pick a service that uses vehicles without modern safety tech.
Are taxi fleets the only people who will use the Maruti Tour H2, which is essentially a rebadged WagonR?
30 December 2024 09:02
It's definitely a rebadged WagonR, and that's not necessarily a bad thing. Taxi operators would know that the WagonR is a very reliable and fuel efficient car. Maybe Maruti did a bit of tweaking to make it more robust for commercial use.
Are taxi fleets the only people who will use the Maruti Tour H2, which is essentially a rebadged WagonR?
30 December 2024 09:02
I disagree. It's based on the WagonR, but to label it as just a rebadge does not do justice to the changes Maruti has made. That means they probably rebuilt the suspension to be even more rugged, modified the engine to last longer, and maybe even used different interior material to take the abuse.
Are taxi fleets the only people who will use the Maruti Tour H2, which is essentially a rebadged WagonR?
30 December 2024 09:02
In reality, it's Maruti's cost cutting move. Through this, they are saving on R&D and production costs as they will just be repurposing an existing model. I am not sure it is the best solution for taxi drivers or passengers, but it’s smart business.
Are taxi fleets the only people who will use the Maruti Tour H2, which is essentially a rebadged WagonR?
30 December 2024 09:02
I was a taxi driver myself, and I can say that using a car adapted from the consumer market is not a good idea. What we need are vehicles purpose built for commercial use — more durable, more maintainable, with features tailored to taxi operations.
Are taxi fleets the only people who will use the Maruti Tour H2, which is essentially a rebadged WagonR?
30 December 2024 09:02
I think it's a win-win. Taxi operators get a reliable, easy to maintain, fuel efficient car with parts that are easy to find, while Maruti gets to expand their market without much investment. It’s also a familiar, comfortable ride for passengers.
Are taxi fleets the only people who will use the Maruti Tour H2, which is essentially a rebadged WagonR?
30 December 2024 09:02
You're all missing the point. The problem with this approach, however, is that it stifles innovation in the commercial vehicle space. If we’re not able to get manufacturers to build truly optimized taxis or urban mobility solutions, we’re never going to see that.
Are taxi fleets the only people who will use the Maruti Tour H2, which is essentially a rebadged WagonR?
30 December 2024 09:02
In fact, I prefer to ride in a Tour H2 than some purpose built taxis, as someone who uses taxis frequently. I feel more like a passenger in a personal car which is more comfortable for me.
Is the Maruti Tour H2's CNG option a game changer for eco friendly taxi fleets?
30 December 2024 09:02
Absolutely! Petrol is way more expensive than CNG and also much cleaner. For taxi operators trying to save on costs and reduce emissions, it’s a no brainer. The CNG Tour H2 could truly clean our cities.
