Priced at Rs 4.28 lakh (on-road Mumbai) for the VXi, the Estilo comes with decent equipment.

The interiors remain unchanged though, the only difference being the two-tone dash rather than the all-beige interiors of the earlier car and the gear lever from the A-star’s parts bin. Quite a few bits have been rummaged from the Maruti parts bin in an effort to keep costs down. The gear lever, circular air con vents and power window switches come from the Swift while the air con controls, wiper and headlight stalks and the instrument panel gauges are borrowed from the Wagon R.
The Zen Estilo comes with a few surprises like a driver airbag option, electric mirrors, an auto-down function for the driver’s window and a cabin light that stays on till the key is inserted—all features usually expected only in expensive cars.
The large cubbyhole above the glovebox and bigger door pockets are useful for storing knick-knacks. The rear seat folds forward as a single piece, limiting flexibility. Also, there’s no parcel shelf and this is inconvenient. It’s advisable to pick up an aftermarket shelf from your dealer.
The front seats lack comfort and aren’t ample enough. There is little lower back support and this could tire you out in a long-run.
