While the halo at Auto Expo might justifiably be all pervading over the Tata Nano, industry leader Suzuki has finally done something which it wasn’t known to do. For the first time in the history of the firm, it has let two Indian designers conjure up the look and feel of what would be the company’s fifth World Strategic Model - the A-Star Concept.
Saurabh Singh and Rajesh Kumar Gogu are the two young lads credited with penning the stunning exterior of the A-Star Concept and also its sporty interior. They have, for the first time for a Suzuki, delivered a design where quite a few details from the Indian way of life have been incorporated in some form.
The A-Star Concept is a critical model in Suzuki’s model line-up. Since it is to be built in India for export and domestic markets, it was appropriate that there was a bit of Indian-ness to the design.

The forthcoming Auto Expo in New Delhi will see some high decibel display not just at the Tata Motors pavilion, with its Rs 1 lakh car, but also from market leader Maruti Udyog as well. Maruti said a brand new concept car, A-Star, a new compact car, will be displayed at the ninth edition of Auto Expo in January 2008.
The showcasing at the Auto Expo, A-Star will join the elite club of concept cars displayed for the first time in India. Tata Motor’s Indica was first displayed at the Auto Expo in January 1998 and hit the market a year later, witnessing a recording booking of over 100,000 units in the first couple of weeks of its launch.
“With a 5-year capital investment of $ 2.2 billion in a new car plant, a diesel engine manufacturing unit, a new engine series and new models, Maruti Suzuki is emerging as a global manufacturing hub for Suzuki operations worldwide. The next level of commitment will be evident in R & D, with a vision to make Maruti Suzuki the R & D hub for automobiles in Asia. Concept A-Star is a decisive step forward in that direction,” a statement from Maruti Udyog said.
