Maruti A Star Update: India’s largest car maker Maruti Suzuki India Ltd launched its compact B-segment car “Suzuki A-Star” yesterday in Mumbai. Built on a new platform its an excellent city car with a state-of-the-art, light weight, 998cc K10B petrol engine. A-star is the best in class, fuel efficient car, with a mileage of 19.59 kilometers per liter, as tested by ARAI, Pune, country’s premier automotive research agency. The A-star is the first car from Maruti Suzuki to be fitted with the new KB Series engine. The engine offers power of 67ps @ 6200 rpm and torque of 90nm @ 3500 rpm. The company has launched the new model in three variants i.e. Lxi, Vxi & the top end fully loaded Zxi. The Introductory prices of A-Star in Mumbai are: -
| Model | City | Ex-Showroom (Rs) |
| A-star Lxi | Mumbai | Rs. 361,209 |

It made its world premier this year (2009) with its striking world class design and safety standards. This is Suzuki’s Fifth World strategic model which would be built in India for export & domestic markets.
A-Star would fill the gap between Alto & Swift.This sleek & sporty car looks European with an Indian touch and adaptability added to it. Its expressive eyes like headlamps stands out on the smooth bonnet.
A-Star would also be the first car to be produced only in India for domestic & global markets. Being a world car this meets all the required safety norms & would be in direct competition with Hyundai’s i10. A-Star would also have an option of 1.2 liter K-series engine to compete with i10′s kappa engine. Suzuki is also working on the diesel option which will still take some time to debut.
Final Model for Production
this is cheating
they showed such a wonderful model as concept n then giving us such a downgraded model as real final production model
Ridiculous….. a new born can see the difference in the concept and real one…. sick…
Its different
The concept was a true A-Star.
The production model is an F-Star.
its ver nice.
this is the actual quality of maruti. and this is what car makers do to india give them sub standard products and underpowered cars …..

mubarkaji maruti co ko jisne sunder car pesh karti hai
This car is really gr8 wel i thnk so its look sems like luxry car well this is one of good model..you can use it after tbat you know its reall value
a-star is the Ideal car for city runabout. A-star’s performance is unmatchable even by large sedans in highways. Who wants extra space in city cars just go for astar. I’m owner of A-star for six months. You can’t go wrong with A-star.
running a zxi on road since last four months it is a machine with all facilities and controls r just on ur fingures.U can experience only b driving it
astar vehicle overall outlook verygood but headroom and legroom little consist and one more bootspace is veryless compare to 800 and alto bootspace is very less.otherwise vehicle is very good oerall vehicle pickup marvell
I like your car! Hope its affordable for a down to earth people like us…. TO put aside the standard and quality, the price should be reasonable.
How does A star compare with Beat LT model- the price, performance, passenger and boot space? Will some body comment?
I am going to opt for A Star automatic which maruti is planning to introduce in july 2010. A Star is a mileage giving car with 19 kmpl. With automatic transmission, u can still expect 17 kmpl which will be very good. hence, A Star, according to me is the best buy for automatic segment.
is this model available in west bengal, siliguri,please inform as soon as possible. thank you
