Maruti Alto is a very popular and best selling small car from Maruti and the upcoming Maruti Alto K10 Launch is due on 4th Aug 2010 so its a wise move to not change the existing car model prices just ahead of the launch.

This price hike is around 1 to 1.5 percent for various models. The details of individual price rise are not available as yet. We will update this section as soon as the details arrive.

New Maruti Wagon-R Duo LPG Model Launched – Price In India

Posted: 02 Aug 2010 06:55 AM PDT

Maruti Suzuki is going green with every new launch and does take the pollution problem quite seriously since it has already announced the launch of 5 Maruti CNG cars on a single day including Wagon-R CNG, SX4 CNG, Alto CNG, EECO CNG and Zen Estilo CNG and is has re-launched the Wagon-R Duo.

Maruti Wagon-R Duo version is the only offering from the company which could run on LPG as well as Petrol depending on your preference and situation. The Duo was discontinued just before the company launched the new model of the Wagon-R.

Now after a few months the company has considered such a product important for the Indian automobile sector and has re-introduced it, expecting a few more sales. Initially when the Duo was launched it was a hit with a contribution of over 20% to the total sales but was later ceased since the company announced of launching a LPG variant.

While the re-launched Wagon-R Duo adds more to the sales figures, the company is busy tweaking the new Wagon-R which will be launched in a LPG variant within the fiscal year.

Price Of Maruti Wagon-R Duo

The new Wagon-R Duo has been priced at Rs 3.68 lakhs Ex- Showroom Delhi.

Maruti Suzuki CNG Variants Of 5 Cars – Alto, Eeco,Wagon R, Estilo & SX4 Launch In Aug 2010

Posted: 02 Aug 2010 06:45 AM PDT

Maruti Suzuki is our very Indian brand who is most concerned about the mileage aspect of all the products in has launched and will launch. Its primary concern has been value for money and low running cost for its cars and for the customers too who before coming to a dealership do expect great deals at best possible price.

Since petrol and diesel prices are touching the sky, the need of the hour is to introduce CNG or LPG variants of the existing cars which fit in the budget of most of the customers. Its not that this trend has been initiated lately, its been in the market for quite some time and now the focus is not on bringing in CNG cars but making most of the cars run on CNG.

Chevrolet has also played an important role in establishing CNG vehicles in the Indian automobile industry with Chevrolet Aveo CNG while brands like Toyota are doing their bit by offering optional CNG kits with Corolla and Innova.

The brand to an extent proved to be proactive under such situations and launched Wagon-R LPG variant, Alto CNG, Maruti Zen Estilo CNG in the past and now taking it very seriously, plans to launch 5 CNG vehicles. As mentioned above the company already had plans for Alto CNG and Zen Estilo CNG, while the rest three cars are the Wagon-R CNG, EECO CNG and SX4 CNG which are to be launched on the same day in the second week of August.

We certainly want to see other manufacturers presenting their CNG cars and work together for a greener future.
