23 September, 2009

Maruti Suzuki is considering on changing of the engines in its range of entry level and A-plus segment cars.

Maruti Suzuki India Chairman R C Bhargava told PTI that all the entry level cars would be equipped with the KB Series engine over a period of time. "It will not happen immediately. We cannot do that. It will happen over a period of time", he said.

The all new, light-weight, engine series will be progressively introduced in other models over a period of three to five years.
