Eco-friendly Suzuki
A-Star scheduled for 2008
(12/12/2007) |
Suzuki is pursuing a world strategy
designed for long-term growth. Following the launch of its acclaimed
fourth world strategic model, the Splash, at the 2007 International
Motor Show in Frankfurt, the company is developing the fifth exciting
model in its strategy. It will be showing some of the forthcoming
model’s design themes at Auto Expo 2008 in New Delhi in the form of the
Concept A-Star.
The new model is an A-segment five-door
hatchback reflecting a focus on world-class environmental compatibility
and comfort. It will have an all new
Euro 5-compliant 1.0-litre aluminium petrol engine with CO2
emissions lower than those of European competitors (target: lower than
109g/km). And like all new Suzuki world strategic models, it will prove
that sporty and exciting performance can be enjoyed together with
outstanding fuel economy.
Suzuki also produces a 1.3-litre diesel
engine, but Suzuki does not plan to use it in the new production car as
the new 1.0-litre petrol engine is environmentally superior. Suzuki is
studying options for small diesel engines for production by in the
future.
Production is scheduled to start in
October 2008.
