Did the Zen Estilo live up to its predecessor's legacy?
The original Maruti Zen, launched in 1993, quickly became an icon in the Indian automotive landscape. It was known for its peppy performance, go-kart-like handling, and sporty looks. When Maruti introduced the Zen Estilo in 2006, it had big shoes to fill. The Estilo came with a different design philosophy, focusing more on practicality and interior space rather than sportiness. It also featured a new engine and updated features. This transition sparked debates among car enthusiasts and Zen loyalists. Many questioned whether the Estilo could capture the same spirit and enthusiasm that made the original Zen so popular. The comparison between the two models often leads to discussions about automotive evolution, brand identity, and the balance between retaining a car's essence and adapting to changing market demands.
Not even close. The original Zen was a driver's car, the Estilo feels like a compromise.
