Vitara Brezza, Ignis & Turbocharged Baleno RS Confirmed: Maruti’s Auto Expo 2016 Lineup

Maruti Suzuki wants to change the way the country sees the brand. While they have started focusing on safety, the company has also brought several modern technologies like Auto Gear Shift, mild hybrid system (SHVS) and Smart Play infotainment system closer to the masses. This is why Maruti has decided to base their stall at the Auto Expo 2016 on the theme of Transformation through Motion.
