Team-BHP forum member Hitanshu Gandhi has shared spy
shots of the production Maruti Concept Future-S. One of the spy shots shows the
car's front-end for the first time, while the other gives a clearer look at the
rear-end, particularly the tail lamps.
The production version has a
high-set bonnet, high shoulder line, high ground clearance, flush roof rails
and a rakish back glass - all of which are traits of a modern SUV. Inside, it
looks like the instrument cluster, as in the concept, is positioned above the
centre console, something that may draw more negative attention than being
praised for the offbeat layout. It appears to be a digital unit flanked by two
HVAC vents.
The production Maruti Concept Future-S will have a
body strong enough to meet BNVSAP crash test standards and feature high-speed
warning alert, driver and co-driver SBR, driver airbag and rear parking sensors
as standard. These will be the basic requirements when it comes to safety by
the time the launch will take place.
As for the engine options, Maruti Suzuki may offer
an upgraded, BS-VI compliant version of the 0.8- and 1.0-litre petrol units of
the current Alto and Alto K10. Transmission choices may include 5-speed manual
and 5-speed automated manual.
