New Estilo

New Estilo is, From the looks of it, the car boasts of an all new front styling, which includes a revised grill, new headlamps and a macho bumper that has sculpted integrated fog lamps. New wheel covers compliment the entire exterior makeover to give this car a style that is in sync with today's market demands. There is no question about it that Maruti Suzuki has taken the pains in making the new Estilo part of the family and in doing so, they have stripped it of its plain-jane looks and have given it a bolder stance.

The interiors remain largely the same; however subtle touches in terms of color and the two tone chocolate-beige dash do wonders in livening up the interior. Apart from that, the car also comes with a digital fuel indicator as standard. Other accessories on the car include a rear windshield wiper, keyless entry and the CATS security system. Of course the accessories depend on the variant being bought. Maruti Suzuki is also offering the top end Estilo VXi with ABS and two airbags as an optional fitment.

The biggest change however lies under the hood. Maruti Suzuki has done away with the Wagon R engine and given the new Estilo the famous and KB10 series, 998cc, 3 cylinder petrol engine, which incidentally does duty under the A-Star's hood as well. This engine is more powerful and offers a peppier driving experience. Enhancing the driving experience is the revised gearbox. Gone is the notchy vague feel that plagues the Wagon R and Estilo. The new gearbox is a lot more precise and slots into gears without that vague feeling thanks to the rod mechanism being replaced by cables.
