When Maruti 800 changed the face of Indian roads, changed the definition of buying a car.

December 23, 2025

by Car Bima with No Comment Car Review

New Delhi. Today, when Indian roads are full of SUVs and premium cars, it is difficult to remember that there was a time when cars were considered only for the rich. Till the early 1980s, buying a car was no less than a dream for an ordinary Indian family. It was during this period that the Maruti 800 arrived, which not only changed the face of Indian roads but also decided that a car would no longer be a luxury but could be a necessity.

A new beginning in the era of license raj
Maruti 800 was born at a time when the Indian automobile sector was in the grip of the license raj. The options were very limited – Hindustan Ambassador and Fiat Padmini. Both the cars were expensive, low mileage and backward in terms of technology. The waiting period used to be of years and getting delivery was like winning a lottery. In this environment, Maruti 800 entered in 1983. This small car, made in collaboration with Japan's Suzuki, may have been compact in size, but the idea behind it was very big – a car for the common man.

The trio of price, mileage and reliability
The biggest strength of Maruti 800 was its price. While other cars were out of the reach of the middle class, the Maruti 800 gave the assurance for the first time that even a low-paid person could own a car. Low maintenance cost and excellent mileage made it more attractive. This was the period when the price of petrol affected the budget of every family. In such a situation, the mileage of Maruti 800 was no less than a boon for the people. On top of that, the engine was reliable because of Japanese technology. Start and go, this became its identity.

First car, first freedom
The Maruti 800 was not just a vehicle, it was the first car for millions of Indian families. Be it dropping children to school, visiting relatives or taking a long trip to the village, Maruti 800 was present everywhere. Cutting the ribbon of a new car at weddings, pujas and festivals became an emotional moment. For many people, this was the first time that they were traveling by their own car instead of bus or train. This is the reason why Maruti 800 made the Indian middle class feel a new freedom.

Service network won hearts
Another major achievement of Maruti was its service network. At that time, car breakdown meant weeks of trips to the garage. Maruti ensured availability of service centers and spare parts across the country. The result was that car ownership became easier and more reliable. Maruti's reach in rural and small towns made it the choice of every class.

The changed face of Indian roads
After the arrival of Maruti 800, the number of cars on Indian roads increased rapidly. Where earlier seeing a car was a special thing, now it has become a common sight. Traffic, parking and driving culture, everything started changing. This car not only promoted personal transportation but also intensified competition in the auto industry. Other companies were also forced to make cheap, affordable and reliable cars.

An icon that lives on in memories
With time, technology changed, new standards of safety and features came and Maruti 800 gradually left the roads. But its memories are still alive in the hearts of millions of people. In many homes, this car was like a family member, and eyes would become moist while selling it. Maruti 800 not only gave India a car, but also changed the definition of car buying. It proved that with the right idea, right price and trust, any product can change the face of society.

1985 to 2024! This car continues to dominate the market even after 40 years, will be number 1 even in 2025

December 18, 2025

by Car Bima with No Comment Car Review

New Delhi. Something amazing has been witnessed in the Indian Passenger Vehicle (PV) market. Only once in the 40 years from 1985 to 2024 has a sedan topped India's annual car sales chart. This happened in 2018, when Maruti Suzuki Dezire became the best-selling car in the country. Sedans are going to top the sales charts once again in 2025. Once again this model is Maruti Suzuki Dezire. Even after so many years, no other sedan has been able to compete with it.

Creta left behind
The country's largest car manufacturer Maruti Suzuki India has sold 1,95,416 units of Dezire in the domestic market between January and November this year. This is 7,448 units ahead of the second model, which is Hyundai Motor India's popular SUV Creta, which has sold 1,87,968 units. Dezire is going to become number one at a time when the sedan segment is facing tough competition from the SUV segment. The PV market share of sedans is less than 10%, while SUVs contribute about 55%.

Best selling cars from 1984 to 2024

model	ear
Maruti Suzuki 800	1985-2004
Maruti Suzuki Alto	2005-2017
Maruti Suzuki Dezire	2018
Maruti Suzuki Alto	2019
Maruti Suzuki Swift	2020
Maruti Suzuki Wagon R	2021
Maruti Suzuki Wagon R	2022
Maruti Suzuki Swift	2023
tata punch	2024

Why is Desire popular?
An industry expert told Moneycontrol, “The reason for Dzire's popularity in India is its price, positioning and scale. It falls in the compact sedan segment, which gives it more boot space than a hatchback without increasing the price too much. It also benefits from Maruti Suzuki's strong sales and service network, be it in urban or rural areas.”

Multiple powertrain options
Another expert said, “Multiple powertrain options have also increased its appeal. Low running cost, easy maintenance and strong resale value are its specialties. Due to frequent updates, Dezire has remained popular in the Indian market despite the changing tastes of the market.”

price
Price of Maruti Suzuki Dezire The ex-showroom price of Dezire ranges between Rs 6,25,600 to Rs 9,31,300. It also has a commercial variant Tour S, whose price ranges from Rs 6,23,800 to Rs 7,09,800 (ex-showroom). After the change in GST rate, the price of Dezire has been reduced by up to Rs 87,700. At the same time, the price of Tour S has decreased by Rs 67,200.

Engine and Mileage
Engine and Mileage of Maruti Suzuki Dezire This car has a 1.2 liter, three cylinder petrol engine, which first came in the Swift hatchback. This engine gives power of 81.58 PS and torque of 111.7 Nm. Customers can choose between a 5-speed manual gearbox or a 5-speed AMT. Its CNG variant is also available, which gives power of 69.75 PS and torque of 101.8 Nm and comes with 5-speed manual transmission. Fuel efficiency is also a big factor in this segment. Maruti Suzuki claims that the petrol manual variant gives a mileage of 24.79 km per liter. The mileage of petrol AMT variant is 25.71 km per liter. The CNG manual variant gives a mileage of 33.73 km per kg.

This Maruti car used to compete not only with Mercedes but even Ferrari in India, then why did it say 'goodbye' to the market?

December 8, 2025

by Car Bima with No Comment Car Review

New Delhi. Everyone knows that from the late 2000s to the early 2010s, there was the era of luxury sedans. This was the golden era of sedan cars, in which customers had a plethora of premium options like the Chevrolet Cruze, Volkswagen Jetta, Honda Civic, Skoda Laura and Toyota Corolla Altis. The public liked all these cars very much and their sales were also excellent. If you were to go up a price bracket, you would get the Hyundai Sonata, Toyota Camry, BMW 3 Series, Mercedes C-Class or Audi A3. This was the time when you could buy a luxury German sedan for Rs 30-35 lakh.

Kishaji came in 2011
Maruti Suzuki also wanted to make its place in this segment. Being India's leading manufacturing company, Maruti decided to do something new. Maruti launched Kizashi through the CBU route in 2011, which was a big step. Interestingly, it was discontinued after just 3 years. Kizashi had once set a land-speed record of 327 km/h. Today we will try to understand why Kizashi disappeared.

Why did Kizashi disappear?
You will be surprised to know that one of the most beautiful cars of the last decade was Maruti. Its sleek body and 17 inch alloy wheels give it a very attractive look. The difference between Kizashi and the rest of Maruti's range was stark. At that time, if there was no badge then no one could have recognized that it was a Maruti.

What did Kizashi look like?
Dual chrome exhaust tips are available at the rear and the boot lid has been designed like a lip spoiler to give it a sporty look. The proportions of the car are such that you get a long wheelbase of 2.7 metres, but it doesn't look awkward. Cars of the 2010s had not yet shifted from halogen to LED lights, and the same is seen in the Kizashi. There is some similarity with the SX4, but this is not a negative point. It doesn't have any special aesthetic features, but its simple and smooth design gives it that sophisticated look that people want while buying a sedan.

Strong Rose Presence
It was the perfect blend of sporty and elegant, giving it a strong road presence. In the crowd of SUVs and hatchbacks, Kizashi stood out due to its beauty. Most of the premium sedans of that era looked very beautiful. Design engineers had to work wonders to design better than German and Japanese cars, and they were successful to a great extent.

interior
If you go inside, Kizashi starts showing its age. It has a traditional speedometer, small TFT driver display, radio system and a lot of physical buttons like the cars of the early 2010s. The feature list is also decent, which includes 6 airbags, push-button start, 10-way power adjust, 3 memory settings on the driver seat, rear armrest and leather seats. There was only one trim option, so all these features were standard.

Excellent build quality
The special thing is that its build quality is excellent, which was much better than other Maruti cars of that time. The dual-tone interiors and soft-touch materials give it a premium feel, and the heavy doors are a sign of its strong build quality. The cabin is also quite spacious, with ample legroom and headroom for the rear passengers.

Engine and Power
Kizashi has a 2.4L VVT petrol engine, which generates approximately 180 horsepower and 230 Nm torque. These figures are quite impressive, and since it is a naturally aspirated engine, the driving fun is doubled. Gearbox options included 6-speed manual and CVT. The global variant also had an AWD option, but it was not practical for the Indian market.

Blacked-out 18-inch aerodynamic alloy wheels add to its efficiency-focused design, while the sculptural 3D bodywork and matching matrix-style tail lamps give the SUV a sharper, more contemporary appearance.

by Car Bima with No Comment Car Review

New Delhi. Small cars have dominated the automotive sector in India for a long time. Small cars like Maruti Suzuki 800, Hyundai Santro and Tata Indica have been widely liked by the people. Although relatively larger cars are now dominating the market, there is one model that has broken all sales records and touched heights that will probably never be seen again. That model is Maruti Suzuki Alto.

Launched 25 years ago
Maruti Suzuki India launched Alto in 2000. And the rest, as they say, is history. So far, the country's largest car manufacturer has sold 47 lakh units of this entry-level model. Alto was India's best selling car for 13 consecutive years from 2005 to 2017. It again became the best selling car in 2019.

Shut down in 2023
