Maruti XA Alpha – Awaiting the Alpha SUV
A segment which witnessed robust sales growth in India last year was the luxury SUV market. A lot of compact SUVs are already launched or are in the pipeline to be released soon.
Unveiled at the 2012 edition of the Auto Expo, the Maruti XA-Alpha is yet to see the light of day. Maruti Suzuki is not in a hurry to launch the new model. Its immediate focus is replacing existing models with newer generations, rather than entering a new segment. This compact 4 metre long car is designed for customers wishing to enter the sports utility segment.
