India’s leading carmaker, Maruti Suzuki had launched its model Swift on May 25, 2005 extending its product portfolio in the compact car segment. The car has been successful and has been performed well in the last five years.

Swift which will turn five on Tuesday has sold more than 4, 50, 000 units since its launch in the country. It is the most successful car from the company since the Alto. Its main rival Hyundai Getz is nearing a stoppage in production while Swift went through an engine upgrade earlier this year.

Swift is the most expensive car in the compact segment from the company and has outsold A star, Estilo, M800 and Ritz. The customers still wait for about 1-4 months for both petrol and diesel version of the car.

Suzuki Canada's president, Seiichi Maruyama, is a man with a lot to say. His company is growing notably faster than the rest of the auto industry, and they're gearing up to release an updated version of a staple SUV product: the Grand Vitara.

Despite the excitement apparent of him and his team for the refreshed model, his presentation to members of Canadian media was notably short and sweet. In not quite so few words, he said that the Grand Vitara would speak for itself once driven.

On paper, the hardware all in place back this claim up. The model is aimed towards a customer shopping for an aggressively-priced SUV that puts a heavy focus on ruggedness.

The new versions of Suzuki are already on the roll in Europe, and it plans to go a lot further still, selling at least 340,000 cars mostly small sports & SUVs in Europe for 2007. That’s why the main offering of Suzuki here is a saloon version of the decent little SX4 that until now has only been hatched. With other usual features of Suzuki remaining unchanged, the new saloon, with its top-hat proportions, offers a high and upright seating position for good visibility. Suzuki also claims that the 1.6-litre petrol-powered SX4 saloon has great driving dynamics, though the proportions presented can still be a debating point.

In its road drive guise, as the Sporty Swift, it also offers special suspension; 17-inch (43cm) wheels, and loads of comfort equipment that the rally car doesn’t have, and a slightly milder version of the 1.6 engine.

Suzuki also announced that after some selected outings especially for Europe this year, the SX4 WRC on show here will step up the company to a full WRC campaign in 2008. And showing concern for the message conveyed through the European environmental demands, Suzuki looks forward to a “Diesel engine” – being the desperate need of this year.

The Suzuki’s largest and midsize SUV is the new XL-7. The XL6 was the first hint from the Suzuki concept unveiled at NAIAS 2000 that featured stylish looks and flexibility, and was much larger than the Grand Vitara. The XL-7 is offering seven seating with V6 power, and 4-wheel drive. For 2007 the new XL7 is bigger, stylish, bolder and more powerful than its previous models.

Evolved from the Suzuki Concept-X, which debuted at the 2005 North American International Auto Show, the 2007 XL7 comes with a rear-wheel-drive, truck chassis SUV into a crossover SUV that delivers a car-like ride.
