Maruti Udyog: Eight new models in the next three years

India’s leading automaker Maruti Udyog has said in a statement that they are planning to launch eight new cars in the next three years.

The company had earlier plans to launch just around 5 new models by 2010. Maruti is planning to impress the Indian customer by launching exciting models. The first of these is likely to be the Baleno replacement based on Suzuki SX4.

Market sources further claim that the company is working on three-box version of the Swift. This could be a possible replacement for the aging Esteem.

Manish Mathur, principal with consultant firm AT Kearney spoke about the Indian automobile market: “Many Indians prefer three box cars since it is a higher value proposition in terms of space and status”.

With Maruti Swift Diesel and the Zen Estilo already impressing the Indian customer, Maruti has a lot more to offer to us in the coming years.
