Maruti offers hefty discounts before Jan price hike

Car market leader Maruti Suzuki India (MSIL) today rolled out a special savings scheme "� Happy Customer Offer "� under which it will sell cars at discounts ranging from Rs 18,500 to Rs 57,500 across various models.

The discount comes just before the company is expected to hike prices of its various models by up to Rs 12,000, for which it has already written to its dealers.

Under the new savings scheme, MSIL would offer a discount of Rs 18,500 on Omni, while its flagship hatchback Maruti 800 would be cheaper by Rs 26,000. The maximum discount of Rs 57,500 is being offered on its mid-size sedan Esteem. 
 

PRICE-HAPPY
Car	Discount	Original price
Omni	Rs 18,500	Rs 2,22,236
Maruti 800	Rs 26,000	Rs 1,94,624
Esteem	Rs 57,500	Rs 4,44,675
Alto	Rs 24,500	Rs 2,34,743
Wagon-R (petrol)	Rs 45,000	Rs 3,28,054
Wagon-R (LPG)	Rs 24,500	Rs 3,49,857
Zen Estilo	Rs 48,000	Rs 3,20,686

The company's best selling hatchback Alto would be available at a discount of Rs 24,500, while Wagon-R petrol and LPG would become cheaper by Rs 45,000 and Rs 24,500 respectively.

A discount of Rs 48,000 is being offered on the Zen Estilo. The discount being offered across various models also includes finance payouts and exchange bonus apart from the customer offer.

However, the company is not offering any discount on its premium hatchback Swift (both diesel and petrol) and sedan SX4, as demand continues to outgrow supply.

Various car makers announce hefty discounts to beat a slump in sales during December when customers postpone their buying decision.
