If Maruti was to bring back Zen today, what would be the features you would want?
A favorite hatchback, the Maruti Zen was small, quick and fuel efficient and much loved. But if Maruti were to bring back the Zen nameplate for a new car, it would have to compete in a market that has changed drastically since the days of the original Zen. Today's car buyer demands advanced safety systems, modern infotainment, and greater efficiency or electrification in return for his purchase. To remain true to the spirit of the original Zen, however, the new version would have to retain the original's fun to drive character and compact dimensions. This question pushes people to think about what a modern Zen could be, a modern Zen that is a blend of nostalgia and modern automotive technology and market demands.
It should definitely be lightweight and fun to drive, but bring in modern safety features such as airbags and ABS. Maybe better fuel efficiency with some mild hybrid system?
An all electric Zen would be great to see. Zippy, small, good for city driving. It might be India’s answer to the Honda e.
Mini Cooper styling, but in a Zen sized, Zen priced package for the Indian market.
Make it simple, affordable but with a decent infotainment system. Not everybody requires a lot of features, and not everybody wants a lot of features.
How about a Zen hot hatch? It’s a small turbocharged engine, sporty suspension, perhaps even paddle shifters. It could be a cheaper fun alternative to the bigger, more expensive hot hatches.
I’d want to see a Zen that’s easily modifiable. Simple mechanics, and great aftermarket support. Let the tuner community go wild.
It could be interesting as a compact crossover with Zen DNA. A little higher ground clearance, but still small and agile for city use.
