Some of you would have already come across the story on the Suzuki Zen Estilo undergoing a make over and on the 23rd this month according to reports, would be in dealer showrooms. The Zen Estilo could receive new headlamps, the grill will be changed and so will be its engine.
The new engine will be none other than the rev-friendly 3-pot unit from the A-Star. Christened K-Series, the new engine promises a great deal, hinting at changing the Estilo’s attitude entirely. Maruti is also rumored to have dropped the Zen name from its badge, which some say was the cause of this model’s unsatisfactory showing. Whatever the naming convention followed, the K-Series engine could lend it a new lease of life.

@rajesh – Thank you for the information. We’ve already posted the video. Thanks anyway.
The Zen estillo really looks stylish. Maruti Suzuki will be able to revive the glory of the Maruti Zen with the latest facelifted version of the Zen Estillo.

If this is the actual pic of the new Estilo it looks very nice, now the estilo should sell in big numbers
The Estilo revamped as A-Star is under performing in India? Maruti wants to have the Estilo help out A-Star?
Taking new engine from A-Star will increase price for a product that doesn’t deserve anything less than a phase out.
Mustang, All of us felt the need for a refreshment, and it is a good move by Maruti to bring in the facelifted model. But I don’t think this is going to overhaul the image of the Estilo. The image has already been made, it is ugly, engine and face change is just touch up.
Well the thing i always wanted . The grill between the lights , this will definatly improve the looks from front
This car was crying for the new fascia, but the star would be the K series engine. This engine is not only rev happy and frugal but it’s also light in weight which will improve the handling dynamics of the car, that currently also is one of its souring points.
