Maruti Suzuki A-Star Automatic

The A-Star was the first car to be fitted with the all new K series engines and this 998 cc SOHC K series engine punches out 67 Bhp @ 6200 rpm and a torque of 90 Nm @ 3500 rpm. The automatic version hits 100 km in about 19.5 seconds and hits a top speed of 150 km.

In the manual mode, the ECU cuts off the second gear at 95 km and in the third gear, the car reaches 120 comfortably and then struggles. At speeds of 130+ slight amount of wobbling starts and one feels unsafe to push further. By all means this is a city car and not an ideal highway cruiser. In terms of mileage, ARAI figures indicate 17 kmpl, a drop of only 2 kmpl over the manual version. The automatic returned gives a mileage of about 12 – 13 kmpl. This is a car which would provide you a hassle free city ride.
