desires something more of a frugal nature, more importantly something that first and foremost fulfills their
requirement of being transported safely on a daily basis.
Both indigenous and foreign manufacturers have therefore, addressed this unique cost effective
transportation requirement in India, with their respective flagship models, of which the long standing Maruti
Suzuki D’Zire, the refreshed Verito and the latest entrant turned celebrity, the new Toyota Etios.
So, when we consider actually making a quick comparison between these three cars, it was important to
focus on the criteria which form the deciding factors amongst the general public. We compared these cars
on the basis of four important characteristics – fuel efficiency, ride quality, space and price.

at the moment, the Etios is certainly a fun car to drive and handling is fun thanks to the limp steering on the

hatch-adapted tall-boy design gives the cabin a good measure of airiness. The car is also a lot of fun to

untouchable, giving great driving pleasure yet enough practicality to suffice for a small family.

That essentially brings us to the oh-so-important pricing differential where the differences are very little
and the margins quite tight. Though the lowest base price of Rs 4.92 lakh is that of the Mahindra Verito,
the D’zire and the new Etios aren’t too far behind at their Rs 4.95 lakh and Rs 4.96 lakh respective starting
prices for their base-level petrol variants. The high-end version of these three cars can take your budget
higher than Rs 7 lakhs though.
Verdict
We finally have the undisputed leader of this segment (at least for now) in the form of the Maruti Suzuki
D’zire, which just seems like a great overall package amongst the other two contenders, the Etios and the
Verito. Yes, the design isn’t even close to being satisfactory, but then this segment isn’t so merciless to
unimpressive looking cars, and that is where the Maruti Suzuki D’zire becomes a true winner.
That pretty much sums up our thoughts on the real dominator of this segment, but it’s still too early to give
a long-term judgment, on such a volatile bracket of cars, especially when we are expecting the diesel
variant of the Etios coming in soon, that may in fact turn things around quite quickly for the segment.
