Big Fight of Small Cars

It is always good to have a family car that costs less than half the price of Harley Davidson Fat Boy. Fortunately, the fight of small cars is becoming bigger and bigger every day.

In recent times, all motor companies are concentrating on their small car. India is a huge market for small cars purchasers. The companies like Suzuki, Hyundai, Ford, Chevrolet, Skoda, Fiat and Honda have launched new small cars in order to compete in the race of small cars. Every car with less than 1300 CC gets subsidy by the Indian government, so clearly their prices are lesser.

We start with Suzuki. Suzuki has recently launched two small cars A-star and Ritz. A-start starts from just more than Rs. 3,50,000. The special thing about this car is that it's a 998 cc car with three petrol models: Lxi, Vxi and Zxi. It's a good small family car.

Ritz is the most recent launch of Suzuki, its price range is from 0.4 million to 0.55 million. The most important thing of this car is that it is available in diesel and petrol engine both. The petrol models are 1197 CC and the diesel cars are 1248 CC. Its looks are very beautiful.

Other cars lying in this category from Suzuki are: Zen Estilo and Swift. These two are relatively old models but these are also getting good response. Zen estilo starts from just over 3 lacs and 20 thousands.

Now we come to Hyundai. Hyundai is a company which has launched a good number of small cars in India, in actual sense Hyundai is the real rivals of Maruti Suzuki in the small car fight. They have already launched cars like; Santro, Gets and Santro Xing. These were launched against Maruti Zen, Wagon R, Alto and Swift.

In the recent months Hyundai has launched two small cars i10 and i20, both of these cars have their own market. i10 was the most awarded small car of the year 2008, its current price starts from 3.5 lacs and the superior models can be purchased at a price as less as 5 lacs. The most expensive model of this car is Hyundai i10 Asta which costs 5.58 lacs.

Here we come to Hyundai i20. The i20 starts from just over 5 lacs for its base model. The top model's price is higher than 8 lacs. The reason for such high price of these models is that these models are more than 1300 CC.

Now we come to the new product from TATA, which is Indica Vista. Vista is a new car with elegant looks starting from 3.4 lacs to 5 lacs. After Indica, Indica Vista is becoming a hot car for a certain class of people in India.

The General Motors has launched two small cars in recent past. These are: Chevrolet Aveo U -VA, Chevrolet Spark. Both of these cars have got good response from Indian market. The price range of Sparks is from 3.4 to 4.7 lacs. Sparks is a 995 CC car with 5 person seating capacity.

Chevrolet Aveo U -VA is a nice car available at a price just more than 4 lacs for its base model.

Skoda and Honda have also launched their small cars Fabia and Jazz respectively. But these are a little bit expensive cars. Jazz starts from 7.5 lacs and Fabia's base model costs almost 5 lacs. The superior models of Fabia are available for can be purchased in from 6 to 8 lacs.

Fiat has also joined the fight with their new car Fiat Grande Punto. Its starting price is 4.2 lacs and the higher models are available for 5 to 6.3 lacs.

People don't purchase cars everyday, so one must check all possibilities before purchasing a car. Soon we will see few more small cars coming to join the race of small cars which is getting bigger everyday.
