So we can assume the interior facilities and space inside this vehicle . Exactly its little bigger than Swift in internal space . Interior is finished just like that of a high end compact car . It can even considered to be a combination of a European hatch back and an Indian sedan . Dash controls ,seats ,leg room etc. all remembers a sedan . Ritz is one of the first Indian car to follow BS 4 standard with its second K series engine KB12 .

External design of Maruthi Ritz is a combination of Swift and Astar . But we can the differences on a close analysis .From front side it looks just like swift and remembers Astar on back .But the side view is totally different , and it cannot be seen on any other vehicle in India . External emotional and functional , internal youthful and joyful .Black and Blue interior color coding of Ritz is yet another example of this . Suzuki V identity design make v shaped on looking from back side . This along with fender and parts makes the car sporty .Other interior specifications includes instrument panel in front of drive , console mounted gear m , tachometer just like in Astar and above all the blue and black painted dash.
