Maruti Suzuki YL1 Sedan Caught Uncamouflaged

Maruti Suzuki is developing an all new sedan code named YL1 which is a replacement model for the aging SX4. We have already reported about the YL1 Sedan. Now Team-BHP has spied the YL1 sedan completely uncamouflaged. The YL1 sedan adopts the new age styling of the Suzuki, which we got a glimpse from the S-Cross concept and then later with the latest generation SX4.

Maruti Suzuki has given a chrome finished front grill with Suzuki logo in the middle. Headlamps are swooping backward and comes with projectors. On the side, the YL1 sedan gets a sharp muscular shoulder line, which start from the front wheel arches to the rear tail lamps. Rear get new tail lamps and bumper. Overall, the design is fresh and appealing to the younger customers.

Like the current Suzuki cars, the design of the interior is also inspired of the Swift. So, we can expect the interiors to be made of high quality materials and the features list will be strong to fight against the rivals. The YL1 sedan gives good interior space. Maruti Suzuki will localize the YL1 sedan heavily to make the price tag more attractive.

The YL1 sedan is to be powered by the same engines which power the swift siblings. 1.4 L K-series petrol engine and the 1.3 L DDIS diesel engine are the two power plants. Both engines will be mated to 5 speed manual gearbox. In the future, we can expect Maruti to introduce an automatic gearbox. The Maruti Suzuki YL1 sedan will rub shoulders against the Hyundai Verna and Honda City. Maruti Suzuki will debut the YL1 sedan in 2014.
