Maruti Esteem

This car is the upgraded version of the previously popular Maruti 1000 (1990-1994) . This car was manufactured from 1994 to the end of 2007 and was hugely popular during this time . This car was face-lifted thrice to survive in the market . Its competitor cars were the Hyundai Accent and the Ford Ikon (1.3) . This car was hugely popular as this car was fuel efficient and was also peppy , better and faster than its competitors . This was supported by excellent service from Maruti Suzuki . 

This car had a petrol and as well as a diesel version . The petrol car was immensely popular but the diesel could not make a substantial presence in the market . The diesel car had a 1.5 liter engine borrowed from Peugeot giving out 57 ps power .
