Maruthi Suzuki Ritz ,the new small segment car from Maruthi has everything for having this name .Ritz aims at youth and professionals who are looking for an affordable ,sporty and casual vehicle for daily use. Ritz is also known as splash in European and other world markets . Here we expected splash as a replacement for Maruti Suzuki wagon R . But now Maruti renamed splash to Ritz and launched in Indian market without touching other models . Ritz shares the platform with Maruti Suzuki Swift . 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 .
