The Maruti-Suzuki Ritz has been delayed but it will launch this April-May for sure. The car has been approved by the newly set-up ‘International Centre of Automotive Technology (ICAT) at Manesar in Haryana. ICAT has granted a whole vehicle test approval to the Ritz which is like a clearance the company required to roll out the vehicle in the Indian market. The Ritz was put through the brand new power-train laboratory, engine dynamometers, emission laboratory, a fatigue laboratory passive safety laboratory as well as vehicle test tracks at ICAT Manesar.
The Maruti-Suzuki Ritz is likely to be priced between Rs. 4.25-5.5 lakh in the same bracket as the Swift but will offer more space along with the brilliant new 1.2 litre KB series engine which is likely to be very frugal. The 1.3 litre multijet diesel engine from the Swift will also do duty in the new Ritz.
Ritz seems to be an interesting car. Maruti Suzuki has a winner under its wings.

Well this car is already running successfully in Europian Market by the name of “Splash” and this Hatchback in launching in India by tghe second week of May and is coming with all new K-12 Engine..The K12M is essentially a 1197cc petrol engine that is capable of putting out 85 PS of power at 6000rpm in its current state of tune. Torque figures stand at 113Nm @ 4500rpm – which should make the Ritz a sprightly performer..The K12M is also BS-IV compliant – which will make the Ritz the first ever passenger car in India to adhere to the new pollution norm …Im just waiting for this baby to launch :0)… Ihave got a lot of information on Ritz in case anyone need just click on…payalraheja.wordpress.com/
