Suzuki has launched the new 2013 A Star in China at a starting price of roughly Rs. 3.60 lakh. Maruti Suzuki may bring this car to India next year, replacing the present A-Star hatchback which has been around for a while.

The A-Star hatchback has been given a more aggressive stance and looks a little like the Hyundai i10 because of its grille and bumper. It has large swept back headlamps, blacked out air-dam, new chrome grille and fog lamp design. It also sports a new set of alloy wheels and clear lens headlamp cluster with integrated indicators.
The front has shed the old, cute-looking appearance for a more flat and serious look. In profile it looks much the same except for the new alloy wheels and the headlamps which extend a little further into the hood. Also see: Future WagonR pictures!
At the rear the new A-Star has improved a lot. Small touches like the white “u” shaped band integrated into the tail lamps give it a more attractive appearance. The rear bumper is better looking with the number plate slot now lower than in the older A-Star.

The present A-Star has a 998 cc motor that is mated to a five speed manual transmission. It makes 66 bhp of power at 6,200 rpm and 90 Nm of torque at 3,500 rpm. The new A-Star too will come with the same engine and there will be no change in terms of specifications. There is no official news about the A-Star from Maruti Suzuki India but we can expect this face-lifted A-Star sometime next year.

Suzuki san is now playing price game, to sell ugly duckling in the market of white ducks...its better u bring some thing new and good..or discontinue this model..Alto k10 is far better than this…
A-Star is good for an individual who wants driving performance and takes it for daily commute.The AT version will be better and cheaper than i10 so considering At variant will be a good option for ladies as well as Old ppl who wants to drive.
MS need to buy 1lt diesel engine frm GM to increase sales of A-star.
useless car.....lol

A-star is the worst car from maruti suzuki.compare to A-star better go for Alto or for I10, figo or beat.A-star neither has a good look nor have enough space.y people will spend there money in such a useless car when in market they have many options like Alto, I10, figo or beat..except Alto all othere 3 cars are 1.2l eng with good fuel efficiency and also Hyundai, chevy or Ford provides many featu
A-Star Stop at nothing. Good for nothing.
