Maruti Suzuki Zen

Zen


The Maruti Suzuki Zen, launched in 1993, was a stylish and sporty hatchback that successfully captured the attention of young, aspirational buyers. Its aerodynamic design, relatively powerful engine for its class, and peppy performance set it apart from its contemporaries. The Zen’s distinct styling, combined with its reasonable price, made it a popular choice. Beyond its external aesthetics, the Zen was praised for its agile handling and surprisingly comfortable ride for its segment. While it eventually faced stiffer competition from newer models with enhanced features, the Zen remains fondly remembered for its contribution to Maruti Suzuki's success and its place in shaping the Indian hatchback landscape. The Zen's legacy lies in its introduction of a more stylish and driver-focused option within the budget-friendly segment.
