Maruti Suzuki India has come up with another global hatchback - Splash - which has been renamed for Indian Market and has been christened Ritz Maruti Ritz is fifth global model for the Maruti Suzuki India Based on an all-new platform, the production version has some hints of the Swift and SX4.
The car poses a clean, bold and stylish external and internal design, largely deviating from the traditional Maruti Suzuki car looks and feel. Maruti Ritz features a superb interior and exteriors features complete with all standard and luxury options. Maruti Ritz features an array of completely new design new for the Indian market.
The Ritz is streamlined rather than boxy, but it is uncompromised in terms of interior roominess, functionality, and configurability. The gear lever is mounted high up and the driving seat is, like the steering wheel, adjustable for height. It controls an electric power steering system with about the right amount of weight but no true feel of the road. Its suspension is quite firm, in an effort to keep it agile despite the height, so it feels accurate enough in corners.
The boot looks small, especially front-to-rear, but there's a big compartment hidden under the false floor with the space saver spare wheel hidden in another layer below that. The rear seats fold down in one movement per side, the cushion cranking forward to make space for the descending backrest.
Colored surfaces for the dashboard create a youthful, casual look in the area of the passenger airbag and the upper part of the instrument cluster. Together with high-quality materials and a metallic-silver border on the centre console, they treat occupants to a pleasingly fresh ambience. A large speedometer positioned centrally behind the steering wheel is easy to read and has the entire indicator lamps arranged around it.
A digital liquid crystal display (LCD) is positioned in the lower half of the speedometer and gives the driver additional information. The rear seat is set higher than the front seats so all occupants get a good view out, and all seats are comfortable enough. It's a proper four-seater, and big enough for five at a squeeze. There's plenty of storage space including a flip-lid box on top of the dashboard, a fair glove box and a tray ahead of the front passenger, but non-slip surfaces would make them more usable.
Maruti Ritz has been launched in five models: LXI, VXI, and ZXI of petrol and LDI, VDI of diesel. It is available in a choice of 8 fresh colors i.e. Superior White, Silky Silver, Fire Brick Red, Bakers Chocolate, Racing Green, Blue Blaze, Midnight Black, Glistening Grey.
