The unquestioned leader in the small segment in the auto sector, Maruti Suzuki is about to test waters in the premium car segment with Maruti Kizashi launching tomorrow. Maruti has always been criticized for its simple looks but the Maruti Kizashi pictures tell a different tale. The car has been given refreshed looks and a premium feel to it.
Priced between Rs 16 to 20 lakh, Maruti Kizashi is the most expensive car from the company's stable. It earlier pitched Maruti Baleno in the same segment but did not succeed. The car will be shipped as a completely built unit from its parent company Suzuki. Its local assembly in India would depend on the demand it gather after its launch.

Maruti Kizashi photos suggest that it is out to beat the toughest competitors that come its way. Car like Toyota Corolla Altis, Honda Civic will have to beware. Though the company is not setting high expectation for the car and has brought it to test the premium segment and the reaction of car buyers. It has given some of the well established car leaders sleepless nights. The reason for the same is the company's authority in the small car segment which it now wishes to extend to premium one.
