Maruti Suzuki to show case new concept A star at Auto Expo

Maruti Suzuki and its parent Suzuki Motor Corporation have decided to showcase their jointly developed concept car at the forthcoming Auto Expo in New Delhi. It will, perhaps, be the first time that an international car maker will be using the New Delhi Auto Expo for the global launch of its concept car, Concept A-Star.Concept A-Star will also be displayed at other global motor shows during 2008.

Concept A-Star is seen as a major step forward for Maruti Suzuki towards realising its dream of making a global compact car. Such a compact car will be manufactured by Maruti Suzuki at Manesar facility for export to Europe. Concept A-Star will demostrate the R&D capabilities of Maruti Suzuki. The Concept A-Star, developed in collaboration with Suzuki Motor Corporation, signifies that styling capabilities at Maruti Suzuki are now comparable to the best in the world.

Designed totally in India, it will be a precursor to MSI’s global compact car that will be launched post 2010. The car will likely carry a 1.2 litre to 1.6 litre engine and will be available in both petrol and diesel versions.

Tata might also showcase the 1 lakh car at the upcoming Auto Expo 2008.
