There Suzuki will be showing its new A-segment vehicle. A production car based on the A-Star will be manufactured at the Manesar plant, and will be sold principally in Europe and Asia. The first customer models will roll off the line next October. Known as the Concept A-Star, it will be the Japanese firm’s fifth global model. It follows the debut of the Splash B-segment supermini - a product shared with GM - at the Frankfurt Motor Show last September. The newcomer is a five-door hatchback with an all-new 1.0-liter gas engine. No other engine will be available. India is massively important for Suzuki, and the firm has more than 50 percent of the passenger car market. Back in the early Eighties it joined with the national government to establish Maruti Udyog Limited, now named Maruti Suzuki India.
