Port Blair, 05 Sep 2013: Car market leader Maruti Suzuki introduced the stylish, aggressive and sporty `Stingray’ in Andaman and Nicobar Islands today. The Passion Red Stingray car was presented before the media today at Maruti Suzuki Agency House by the owners, Saran Kumar Nanda and Avinash Nanda.
Sporting some high-end-features, usually associated with premium cars, Stingray is a refreshing package. These features include expressive projector headlamps and stylish reflector grille to name some. The expressive projector lamps are first-of-its-kind on a car in this class of vehicles. Stingray will be available in Lxi and Vxi variants (ABS and Driver Airbag are optional in Vxi).
With Stingray Maruti Suzuki carries forward its focus to make its best sellers even more attractive. The aggressively designed Stingray reinforces the fact that compact cars that are high on utility and reliability can also be premium and stylish. The company feels that for the younger customers who aspire for a bold and aggressively styled car, the Stingray will be a delightful choice.
The bold and aggressive front fascia, sporty side skirting, B-pillar black-out strip and stylish rear spoiler add character to the Stingray. Enriching it further are the gunmetal grey coloured alloy-wheels, chrome plated tail lamps and chrome back-door garnish with ‘Stingray’ prominently embossed on it.
All-black ambience with premium upholstery lends richness and sophistication to the interiors of Stingray. The designers have played with the piano black finish to add alight reflecting glassy premiumness. Smart use of chrome on door handles and AC louvers adds a dash of luxury to the interiors.
Stingray is powered by the highly acclaimed 998cc three-cylinder K-series engine. The K-10 engine on Stingray delivers a power of 68PS @ 6200rpm and a high torque of 90Nm @ 3500 rpm. The Stingray will return a fuel efficiency of 20.51 kmpl of petrol (Certified as per rule 115 of CMVR1989). The Stingray is OBD-II compliant and also free from hazardous substances to enable recycling.
