Maruti Suzuki an underperformer: Nirmal Bang

Nirmal Bang has rated Maruti Suzuki India as an underperformer in its April 27, 2009 research report.

"Maruti Suzuki India declared its Q4FY09 results which were in line with our expectations on the profitability front. The company reported revenues of Rs 7097.4 crore which were in line with our expectations, as against Rs 5585.9 crore in Q4FY08 i.e. 27% rise YoY basis and Rs. 5165.71 crore Q3FY09, a 37.4% rise on QoQ basis. PAT was down by 18.4% at Rs 243.1 crore from Rs 297.9 crore on YoY basis. However on the QoQ basis the PAT was up by 13.8%."

"We believe that though the company being a leader in this segment & having more than 50% of market share, the competition is increasing in the A2 & A3 segments which are the major revenue earners for the company. The company will also face some competition for Alto the largest selling car of the company from Nano. We believe the company will record a moderate volume growth of 7-8% for FY10 with more emphasis on Swift, Swift dezire & SX4. At the current valuations the stock now looks fairly valued. We therefore believe the stock will underperform the markets," says Nirmal Bang's research report.

Mobil Suzuki XL7

Suzuki XL7 is the best of a mini van and SUV; roomy, with flexible seating configurations for up to seven, the XL7 loaded with features and comfort of the car, or more than twice its price. I have the opportunity to rent a Suzuki XL7, while we are in the Range Rover for major repairs, and I love every time I experience XL7. Short for a month, I decided the way in Majestic Silver automatic XL7 Limited, with luxurious leather seats and wood grain interior classic.

As a disabled vertical (short), middle-age (pre-menopausal) women, there are two things that I like: (1) I hate feeling like I need a Forklift to hoist myself and food into a SUV, and, (2) I hate being hot. My brain shut down if I'm hot. Suzuki XL7 has a perfect. That's the most high for me, and the only air I love artic blast. My old mother who suffered from arthritis and knee replacement has been pleased with the ease of getting in and out of XL7.

All controls are intuitively placed and easy to use. Perhaps I lack imagination, but I've driven the car in which I can not know what the symbols on the various control means even dull. I hate to admit how many times I have a horn honked wind or washed tried to activate the left turn signal. This is not a problem in the Suzuki XL7. Control and is clearly where you need and expect them to be. I ventured as far as to use audio and video with ease.

My husband and I enjoy bowling. Meanwhile, my teeth are simple consisting of two ball bags, my husband's bowling apparatus such as a chest and drawers with wheels. Two of us, we need equipment that is quite a little space for transportation. Not knowing when bowling the opportunity may arise, (we are lazy), we still bowling equipment in the car, so roomy vehicle storage is very important. Suzuki XL7 has a lot of room for hauling our equipment bowling plus food, still leaving seating for five.

I was considering making my next purchase XL7 vehicles, high praise indeed considering for seven years, I have refused to part with a 1989 Peugeot 505S. I'm not stubborn, but I refuse to pay more for the car's paid for my first house. Therefore, until I find a vehicle that exceeds my classic Peugeot for value, performance, safety, comfort, and style, I am quite satisfied with what I have. Some days that encourage XL7, I catch myself and check the ratings and reviews on the internet. Then I look at the costs, and suddenly I began to ponder if I have found a vehicle that may eventually my pension Peugeot. Family and friends who stunned.

I write about what I know, therefore, I leave all the technical engine and performance statistics for those who know them best. You can tell me to my husband seems to think it all SUV Macho stuff he wants. In addition to the information provided by Suzuki in http://www.suzukiauto.com/sr_0 7/xl7/specs_and_pricing.php, there are many resources and the internet reviews of all things mechanical and engineering on the XL7. I know that is the best comfort, convenience, style, and value, the 2007 Suzuki XL7 has a larger and for about $ 25,000.

Mobil Suzuki SX4 Crossover

Compact crossover market recently is the most desirable niche of the car manufacturer. Companies that make a serious statement for dominance in this segment, and this is Suzuki, the introduction of the SX4 Crossover to Model of the Year in 2008.

What's so tempting to see the car from the competition? The answer is quite simple, really.

He is everything.

Starting with a fresh design, this car looks almost want to go. The curving exterior sense of flow and fluidity, while the interior is comfortable, knowledgeable, and functional. Foot and head room are many, both in the front and back seats. Even with five people comfortably in the coupe, there is still enough space for 270 L in the value of cargo. On the driver's side, the handling and comfort is not compromised. In the instrument panel and the label features the famous enough. The driver needs only to concentrate on the road the car and leave the rest to do that. In fact, the SX4 has been compared to as "the use of a luxury car and SUV."

Now the important issues and engine performance data. Under the hood, the Suzuki is home to a 2.0 l, 143 hp engine, the 5800 RPM and has a four-cylinder that produces output. Although it's not the strongest, it is still a lot of situations, for the energy of the five-door crossover. Transmission is available in two options: four-speed automatic and five courses. Each person has a trade-off. With automatic, it is easier to get a car, but acceleration and fuel economy may suffer in the field of fractions of a second, and several hundred gas Milliliters. Manual, but you can improve acceleration and fuel economy, despite the learning curve a standard car. Fuel economy is 9 / 100 in the city and 6.5 / 100 on request.

Safety is also important in the fact that Suzuki can not slide. Higher than that of most rivals, the SX4 has a low center of gravity, making the handling better. In other words, the drive is comfortable and safe. The pioneering system (ABS-braking system help). Electronic stability program also provides the dimensions of security that they are in power in each wheel to monitor, and managed to pull the maximum in various weather and road conditions.

Let's see the advantage of the Suzuki SX4. Features include proximity sensing key less entry and start, cruise control, leather wrapped steering wheel, automatic climate control and 6-disc CD change stereo with 8 speakers, just to name a few. The other aspect is the cost. Adding the function result will increase the price, and from $ 17 195 in the basic version of the SX4, up to $ 25 045, depending on features you select. However, even at this price to be far better deal than competitors in this segment, and you will surely be the end to win, if you decide to purchase the 2008 Suzuki SX4 Crossover.

Mobil Suzuki Grand Vitara

If the Suzuki Vitara was launched nearly ten years ago, he is one of the most abordables'4 x4. I see quotes used because it looks like 4X4, 4X4 and 4X4 led a feel like that, but this is not 4x4. This is only a front wheel of the car, like most cars on the road. What has long been a model of large, come with a variety of variants and a car that is quick press Vitara.

The same trick used by Suzuki is very comfortable with the new 2007 Grand Vitara. I have to measure the engine is available in two models, the front and 4x4 models. The two cars the same. The only difference is the badge on the back of the 4x4 and 4x4 in the move.

2007 Grand Vitara is more powerful and visible in the search for more than one drive, and 4x4. Previous models look more like a small child 4X4 design and always seek the truth themselves. I think Vitara found in the correct identity in 2007. However, compared with other off roaders, Vitara light design that is still beautiful. He was not strong Mercedes M-Class, Jeep and Land Rover.

In terms of power, the Vitara 2x2 is a simple 2-liter engine Suzuki. Engine can not take the weight of the car, which may not provide the opportunity to lead a main road.
