Maruti Ritz has joined the league of most successful models in the Indian car market after Alto and Swift. The car crossed one lakh sales figure in a span of 17 months of its launch. "We are overwhelmed by the terrific response given by our customers to the Maruti Suzuki Ritz," MSI Managing Executive Officer (Marketing and Sales) Mayank Pareek said, claiming that the car was the fastest to cross the one lakh sales milestone in the premium compact car segment.

Ritz' sales are attributed to its contemporary looks and attitude apart from its brand value and engineering lending it fuel efficiency, reliability and performance. Maruti Ritz was launched in May 2009 is currently priced between Rs 4.05 lakh and Rs 4.96 lakh for the petrol version and Rs 4.79 lakh and Rs 5.14 lakh for the diesel variant. It had also crossed its 50,000 sales market in record time as well.

The Ritz has been developed on Swift platform and is positioned in the premium hatchback segment. The car has been specifically designed for the Indian customers where Maruti Suzuki engineers worked with the Suzuki design team in Japan to co-design the new car and carry out India-specific change.

Congratulations to all Ritz owners! Actually I was in dielema over Swift or Dezire and went to Showroom to finally decide between these two but an executive (Manish Gupta)requested to just have a 2 minute trial for RITZ and It was love at first sight. I cherish the moment when on 31 Mar 2010 I became the owner of my first Car, a fully loaded White Maruti RITZ ZXI . My 7 yrs old daughter and 2 yrs old son just adore it and my wife's fascination is still far from over . So big cheers for 1 Lakh milestone.

I have been using Maruti vehicles for the last 21 years. I have used 4 Maruti 800's, 1 Zen Estillo and now a Ritz vxi. I was probably the first one to buy and register my Ritz in May 2009. I have since then clocked 28,000 + kms. I did have a problem recently with the Axle, but as it was under warranty, was immediately replaced. I wish this particular model a lot of success. As more people are opting for Maruti vehicles,the figure of 2Lac will take half the time to cross.

Could have been 1 lakh sale long before, had there been an introduction of the automatic transmission. Cheers
