| New Delhi: Auto major Maruti Suzuki on Tuesday launched a new model targeted at the mid-priced segment, and said it hoped to export it to over 150 countries. Priced in the Rs 347,000-Rs 412,000 range, the car - called A-star - will be made in over 200 variants and is touted to give a mileage of 19.59 km per litre of petrol. A-star is Maruti Suzuki's eighth vehicle launched in a little over three years.
"A-star will be exported mainly to European markets and we expect it to account for a major part of our total exports," company chairman R C Bhargava said at the vehicle's launch. The company exported around 50,000 cars last year and expects to export more this year.
Incidentally, A-star has been designed keeping the European market in mind, and will be rolled out of the company's facility at Manesar near Delhi. (IANS) |
