The Maruti Versa a full blooded MPV is a striking sight to behold on the road. Unlike the OMNI it has a fairly well defined snout with a 3-groove grille, the side panels are tastefully delineated with snazzy graphics which extends from the tail lamp to the front door. The spoiler projecting out at the rear portrays raciness to the car. The car employs the proven and ultra reliable 1298cc 4 cylinder SOHC of the Esteem. Maruti engineers have taken special care to reduce NVH (noise, vibrations & harshness) levels to acceptable limits. They have also made appreciable efforts to improve safety features in the car, the monocque constructions provides a rigid safety cell with side impact bars to protect against frontal impacts. Firm suspension settings ensure comfort and control. The interiors are tastefully done with brushed aluminium look though a substantial borrowing has been made from the Maruti family parts bin to bring down costs. The Versa is a versatile machine that has set the ball rolling for the competitors to follow.
