Suzuki's small car will have a 660cc engine
A lot of changes have been taking place in the small car segment since Tata Motors unveiled their Rs. 1 lakh car ‘Nano’ at the auto expo. It has encouraged many car manufacturers to start their own small cars on the lines of the Nano. Previously, I had read about Bajaj, Mahindra, Nissan and Renault planning to bring out cars similar to the Nano. Now, I just found out that Suzuki had prepared ground and had taken up a small car project called ‘A’ long before the launch of the Nano at the expo.
It’s a big challenge for car manufacturers to fit their small cars with efficient engines and good standard equipment. It seems to me that many car manufacturers still have no clear idea as to what type of engine would suit their ultra-cheap small car. I know that Suzuki’s small car will be equipped with a 660 cc engine and i believe Suzuki is the first to finalise an engine for the small car project.

It is impressive that small cars are getting 660cc engine. But i do not agree that they will give a good performance like say a M800. The engine is likely to come up with problem more often and regular tuning will be required. Though you may save on initial buy amount, the subsequent cost may be higher in the long run.
I though that Suzuki did not want to enter the 600cc range of vehicle at all. It is surprising that they actually did that. I think Suzuki has no reason to shelf their project unless it was trash in comparison with Tata Nano. I hope Suzuki comes up with better ideas for small cars.
