TRENDY AND FRESH, WITH A TOUCH OF THE PRACTICAL
Maruti have been a touch guarded in giving the inserts in the doors and on the top of the dash a softer shade of blue but it is still funky and a welcome change from the beige everybody seems to be using these days. The central console and aircon vents have silver effect surrounds with the air-con controls and door handles getting a similar finish. It all makes for a trendy cabin, a trait that carries over to the large white-faced speedo, the tacho housed in a separate pod and the gear lever integrated into the central console. There are lots of storage spaces – cupholders, an open tray above the glove box, a tray above the central console. A big plus is that you don’t need to crouch to get into the car; you simply walk in and out of it. Its airy ambience is enhanced by the light colour of the plastics and clever use of colours in the petrol - engine variant.
GENEROUSLY SPACIOUS
Ritz interiors are impressive, reflecting the funkiest of outside. The vast expanse of dash is big cal like. The large speedo and tacho pod are eye caching without being loud. The center console housing the audio system has a nice matte grain finish. The tall boy design ensures an airy feel all around. The knee room by the small car standards is generous.
EXUDING QUALITY
The cabin emanates a solid feel and the plastics exude quality. The hatch signifies utilitarian nature and being wider makes loading and unloading easier. The dash board continues the eddy styling of the exterior and offers more storage space.
A HUGE LEAP IN QUALITY CAR INTERIORS
Ritz interiors are smartly styled as well and quality has taken a huge leap forward. Ritz dash board is extremely functional and well designed. High seating and gear lever position in centre console give it an MPV feel fro the driver’s seat. The materials and fabrics used inside are worthy of a premium hatch. The heavily textured effect on the dash board feels rich and silver colored piping around the center console and the vents lifts the mood in the cabin. The dash has a subtle two-tone color scheme. Unique to the Ritz is the large, white circular speedo which livens up the dash board. Tall stance of the Ritz makes it easy to get in and out of.
AN INTERIOR MATCHED ONLY BY ITS EXTERIOR
Ritz’s good looks carry on in the cabin too. The seats are set high and generous glass area makes the cabin feel bright and cheerful. The controls are well laid out and gear lever, sprouting from the dash board, is easy to reach. It’s a practical cabin with quiet a few storage spaces. The driving position is still one of the best around though- the seats are snugh and feel sporty.
A PATH BREAKING CAR
Inside the Ritz is genuinely path breaking- if color coded dash board and a centre console mounted gear lever don’t impress you, the overall ergonomics will. The single, large speedo is very mini like and I love it.
THE BIG LITTLE CAR
A little longer and considerably higher makes the Ritz a significantly bigger car. The inside is positively cheerful. The center console panel is nicely designed. A large speedo dominates, with a smart-styled angled rev counter pod sitting atop the dashboard. There is plenty of leg, foot and head room all-round.
CONTEMPORARY INTERIORS
Interiors are contemporary, with nice interplay of colors and also a very innovative dash board.

A CLEVER LITTLE HATCHBACK
The seats are comfortable and driving this hatch in city is quiet easy. Plastic quality is easily the best of this group. Instrument cluster looks smart.

SUBTLE AND MATURE, GUARANTEEING A COMFORTABLE DRIVE
