Some people have tendency to criticize unnecessarily. No doubt it is best car in its segment till date. Hey guys don’t compare it with Matiz. Matiz was a good car but it is far better than Matiz. And remember guys this car is not copy of Matiz, It is based on years old Suzuki car Mr Wagon from Japan, which is out of production in Japan but Maruti guys reworked on this car to give fresh looks to it. See its interiors; it is best in its class. It is really beautiful piece of machinery, so hard time is ahead for other small car manufacturers. See https://marutizen.com for more details. Indian car buyers and Maruti guys are not fool and sales figures of this car in near future will definitely prove this car as ’Best Car’ in its segment.
Before Estilo there were only two reliable cars in this segment (Wagon R and Santro) and competition was only between WAGON R and Santro. Due to boxy shape of Wagon R large number of Maruti fans was buying Santro. Mostly girls don’t like the boxy shape of Wagon R but now they have one more alternative in Maruti Family.
Performance
It is using same proven 1061 CC engine of Wagon R which delievers 64 BHP power, but this car is slightly smaller than Wagon R so it manage to accelerate faster than Wagon R so it is ideal for city driving and occasional highway driving. Fuel efficiency will be slightly better than Wagon R and far better than Santro Xing. Top speed is 148 Km, lesser than Wagon R and Santro but I think for a small car Top Speed doesn’t matter.

Dimensions Estilo is slightly smaller than Wagon R and Santro but it is based on tall boy concept so height of car is increased so rear seat is very comfortable for tall passengers.

Fuel Efficiency
It is expected to be better than Wagon R and Santro. Let’s wait for further reports.

Looks
According to me looks of this car is best in its segment. Red colour or blue colour is really eye catching. Head lamps are big and shiny so front of this car is really very impressive. Back of this car is again very good. According to me it is best looking car which is cheaper than Maruti Swift.
Build quality
Superb like all Maruti cars. Not like Tatas
Maintenance
All Maruti cars are very reliable and service network of Maruti is best and wide spread all over the country. Parts will be very cheap like all other small cars from maruti family so don’t worry about maintenance of this car.
