Maruti Suzuki has launched its latest small car Ritz in both petrol and diesel variants, offered at an introductory price of Rs 3.90-4.99 lakh. The Ritz has been developed on the existing Swift’s platform and common usage of the platform helped the company to offer Ritz at a lower price.
“Ritz is our parent Suzuki’s fifth global model and it will be the first Bharat Stage-IV emission norms compliant Indian car. We have launched it at the beginning of the fiscal and we hope it will bring excitement in the market,” Maruti Suzuki India Managing Director and CEO Shinzo Nakanishi said. “Also higher level of localisation helped us in reducing the cost. Ritz has 85 per cent of localisation in components,” Nakanishi added.
The petrol version of Ritz would be available in three variants in the price range of Rs 3.90 lakh to Rs 4.80 lakh, while the diesel engine car would be available in two variants between Rs 4.65 lakh and Rs 4.99 lakh.

his is one of the best car that Maruti has launched on 15 may this car is coming with all new K-12 engine.The K12M is essentially a 1197cc petrol engine that is capable of putting out 85 PS of power at 6000rpm in its current state of tune. Torque figures stand at 113Nm @ 4500rpm – which should make the Ritz a sprightly performer and about the interiors Ritz also offers a center console designed to give a strong presence and easy access. It also has a host of other features like a large independent speedometer, coloured fascia, information display, comfortable seat fabric and door trim which further contribute to the interior’s young and fresh appeal.

This could lead to a tough competition between Hundai i-20 and Ritz but i somehow feel that Ritz will be better option as it is been produced by Maruti.
