Marking a re-entry into the European small car market, the first batch of A-Stars has been dispatched by Maruti Suzuki India. The first export consignment of the newly-launched world model A-Star has been exported via Gujarat’s Mundra Port.

The much-awaited, much-hyped compact B-segment car Suzuki A-Star, has debuted. Maruti Suzuki India has lifted the wraps off its global car and intends to sell the car in the Rs 4 lakh range.

Maruti Suzuki launched its premium A2-segment hatchback, the Maruti Suzuki A-Star, on November 18, 2008.

Maruti Suzuki, foreseeing huge demand, has kick started efforts aimed at increasing production of its global car A-Star.

The Suzuki A-Star concept was revealed during the Auto Expo 2008 in New Delhi in January. The actual production version of the A-Star will make its appearance at the 2008 Paris motor Show.
