Maruti Suzuki launches Estilo with K-series engine and bold new design
New Delhi, August 25, 2009
BSIV compliant, more fuel efficient and a new transmission
Maruti Suzuki India Limited, country’s leading car maker, launched the Estilo with all-new overall looks and advanced technological features at a glittering ceremony here today.
The Estilo represents Maruti Suzuki matching pace with the changing taste and lifestyle of ‘Vibrant India’. The bolder new Estilo, designed to meet the aspirations of the Indian customer, is a heady-mix of sculpted features, bold designs, new exciting colours.
Leading the advanced technological features on the new Estilo are a new engine and a transmission system. Equipped with the popular 998cc K-series engine, the Estilo delivers a superior fuel efficiency of 18.2 kmpl (ARAI test results). This BSIV compliant engine makes the Estilo the second car in Maruti Suzuki stable that meets the BSIV norms much ahead of the effective date, April 2010.
The new Estilo comes with new efficient transmission technology and advanced ‘Detent pin’ gear shift mechanism for smooth and precise gear shift feeling for the customers.
Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Shinzo Nakanishi, Managing Director and CEO, Maruti Suzuki India Limited said, “The new Estilo, with a new technology engine and a new transmission, is sure to delight the customer. We are confident that the new Estilo with its bolder new design and interiors will add to the competitive edge of Maruti Suzuki in compact car segment.”
On the refreshed Estilo, that packages contemporary features and style with next generation technology, he added, “Product upgradation is an integral part of Maruti Suzuki’s business strategy and future plans. This is a way to include feedback from the customers and offer better products that match their tastes.”
The compact hatchback new Estilo is a part of the growing A2 compact segment where Maruti Suzuki is the established market leader with a market share of 58 per cent.
Superior technology Engine
The Maruti Suzuki new Estilo houses the K-series ‘K10B’ engine under the hood. The 998cc three-cylinder engine delivers a power of 68 PS@ 6200rpm and a higher torque of 90Nm @ 3500rpm. The improved engine technology enables more power, low NVH (Noise, Vibration and Harshness) and the lighter weight of the engine helps to increase the fuel efficiency with lower emissions. The new Estilo comes with ARAI certified fuel efficiency of 18.2 kmpl.
Technical highlights of the K10B engine include DOHC (Double Overhead Cam shaft) with offset crank shaft, resulting in better volumetric efficiency, improved power and FE, high compression ratio, plastic intake manifolds for reducing weight and suction losses, Smart Distributor-less ignition (SDLi) system with dedicated plug top coils and advanced injector for superior atomization. The engine oil in the new technology K10B engine is required to be changed only after 10,000 km thus lowering the running cost.
Environment friendly
The new Estilo is the second model from the Maruti Suzuki stable which is BSIV compliant, thanks to the K series engine. The Estilo is also ELV compliant and 89% of the parts are environment friendly meeting ELV norms. Further, to take on the forthcoming norms of 10% Ethanol blending of petrol, the new Estilo is also E-10 compliant. Maruti Suzuki is bringing these environment-friendly features to its range of cars much ahead of the industry adopting these norms.
Superior Transmission
A new transmission technology and a number of innovations make the new Estilo a combination of power and pleasure.
The new Estilo comes with a new Cable-type transmission technology. The five-speed manual gear with synchromesh is now changed to Cable type as against Rod-type, mechanical transmission earlier. This new transmission reduces the gear shifting effort in the new Estilo, by reducing mechanical losses.
The new Estilo has been fitted with an advanced ‘detent pin’ gear shift and select mechanism. This mechanism eliminates the sliding friction (or line contact) between parts and provides rolling friction (or point contact). This technology, in turn, facilitates smoother transition of gears, and is a first among all Maruti Suzuki products.
These engineering changes, based on customer feedback, provide gear shift assistance for the driver (the gear smoothly goes into its position with minimal effort of the driver). The mechanism reduces the friction and hysteresis losses, thereby proving smooth and precise shifting of gears. It also removes the feeling of stickiness during gear shift process.
Safety, Security & Comfort
The new Estilo is high on safety, security and comfort.
Improved occupant safety in the form of increase in the frontal impact absorbing area, as the distance between steering wheel and front bumper is increased.
The VXi variant comes equipped with front and rear fog lamps, rear wiper and washer. Safety features like Airbag (driver side) and ABS are provided as option in the VXi variant.
In terms of vehicle security the VXi variant comes with i-CATS integrated keys, five-door central locking and anti-theft alarm.
Rear parcel shelf adds to the passenger convenience and comfort in the VXi variant. Based on customer feedback, the suspension of the new Estilo has been fine tuned to provide improved ride and handling.
Compact and Convenient
The new Estilo has got a minimum ground clearance of 165 mm and wheelbase of 2360 mm. The tight turning radius of 4.6 meters makes the Estilo a favored car in tight parking and driving conditions.
Vibrant design, styling and looks
In its refreshed avatar, the new Estilo flaunts expressive, bold frontline looks owing to new swept-back headlamps, dynamic front and rear bumpers, sculpted fog lamp surrounds and a new hood design with crease lines. The rich chrome detailing in the grille and the stylish wheel covers add to the premium feel and the overall appeal of the vehicle. The side door mouldings and ORVM’s have been given a new design to add to the bold looks.
The interiors of the new Estilo have been done up in a posh-looking two-tone beige/chocolate brown complimentary combination, which adds to the refreshing feel inside the vehicle. The seat-covers, embossed with new organically designed geometric patterns heighten the posh looks of the car’s interiors.
The dash-board is in a dual tone chocolate brown and beige combination with new attractive and bright silver accent prominently on the center console, instruments cluster, steering wheel, AC louvers and gear knob. The instrument panel has an all new design speedometer, digital fuel level indicator and multi-function display.
Vivacious new colours
The new Estilo is available in three exciting variants: LX, LXi and VXi in four brand new colours: New Ecru Beige, Emerald Blue, Dusky Brown, and Quantum Orange.
Existing Silky Silver, Superior White, Bright Red and Midnight Black

Hi,I bought the new zrn estillo. It is worth the price.Engineis silk smooth.Transmission is also fantastic. New shape in my opinion is majestic. Ideal car for city drive during rush hours. Problem i felt is the smooth suspension which is air cushioned on smooth roads, but is too bumpy on mildly uneven roads.I tried the chevy beat which i am sorry to tell, but feels like something made so careless. Engine noise and ac blower will make u deaf. sorry chevy.

i purchased the car in sep 2009. its good to drive as it is confortable and smooth but the view from the front windscreen is restricted towards the right and left of the car creating a virtual blind spot which may lead to serious accidents if not causious and if you r in hurry (it is totally not ergonomically designed).
