Estilo's brand evolution
Initial Theme-‘SHAPE YOUR WORLD’
Maruti Suzuki Estilo, one of the A2 offering from the Maruti Suzuki stable, is a product that combines unique features and a refreshing style. In 2006, when Zen Estilo was launched; the focus was on the new product design- its mono-form shape.
It allowed consumers to think beyond the regular offerings in A2 segment and consider Zen Estilo which was a fresh new shape and design. Zen Estilo had a great start and was a successful brand through 2006 to early 2009. All this while, the campaigns basis ‘Shape your world’ theme continued to support the Brand effectively.
MSIL, quick to address evolving needs and preferences of the consumers as well as seeing the need of supporting the product so as to reach out to a wider audience, decided to make changes to the product well ahead of a regular product cycle and came up with a new Estilo in late 2009. Though it was based on the same Zen Estilo platform, the changes were so radical that the product assumed a new look.
And under the hood was the revolutionary new K series engine and Detent pin transmission. All resulting in a fabulous new product and thus was born the new Estilo.
Positioning -
The current positioning has been evolutionary process. Estilo’s ‘Status’ positioning thought stemmed from the key consumer insight of ‘Estilo’ being seen as a ‘sign of success and accomplishment’, ‘exclusive’ among owners and non-owners.
Basing this and keeping in mind the impending model change, the positioning shifted to cater to a wider consumer mindset. If earlier ‘Shape your world’ was linked to the product, the new positioning – 'take a fresh view of life' targeted to address the need gaps in the consumers’ mind space.

The science of EPS under the Estilo
Electric power steering (EPS) is a power steering system that uses computers, electronic sensors and a small electric engine to replace traditional, hydraulic power steering. While there are numerous advantages to this system, including increased fuel mileage and a less labor intensive fix, there are also certain disadvantages to electric power steering. Maruti Suzuki Estilo has the powerful EPS to drive with a full throttle.
Electric power steering systems improve auto efficiency and safety. However, electric power steering is still relatively new and costly compared with traditional hydraulic steering.
Upgrading a traditional vehicle's hydraulic power steering system to an electric power steering system is a big project with a hefty cost. Newer cars are built with electric power steering systems in mind, whereas hydraulic systems are larger, clunkier and arranged differently.
Active Steering Systems are evolving in the direction of giving an increasing support in terms of agility, safety and comfort improvement
The automotive industry is showing a growing interest towards the usage of EPS (Electric Power Steering) systems. With the enhancements in mechatronic technologies, they are spreading from small size cars to medium and large size cars. EPS systems provide a number of advantages with respect to hydraulic power steering: first of all lower fuel consumption, then higher product standardization and finally easier customization of feeling performances.
Nowadays, EPS systems are extending their influence from the driving feeling optimization to other driving features including safety, agility and comfort. This is achieved by modifying the conventional assistance torque, based on driver torque and steer angle, through the introduction of contributions based on signals that other ECUs, integrated in braking, vision, obstacle detection systems, compute and make available to the vehicle CAN network. These “torque overlays” determine a useful haptic feedback for the driver, recommending specific wheel steer commands suitable for the peculiar dynamic scenario of the vehicle.

Let’s apply the brakes!!! How ABS works in a Maruti Suzuki Estilo?
Maruti Suzuki Estilo has an advanced ABS mechanism which makes this car a truly power packed performer in its field. Let’s have a look at what and how ABS functions-
Anti-lock braking system (ABS) is a safety system that prevents the wheels on a motor vehicle from locking up (or ceasing to rotate) while braking.
A rotating road wheel allows the driver to maintain steering control under heavy braking by preventing a skid and allowing the wheel to continue interacting tractively with the road surface as directed by driver steering inputs. ABS offers improved vehicle control and decreases stopping distances on dry and especially slippery surfaces for many drivers, but on loose surfaces like gravel and snow-on-pavement it can slightly increase braking distance, while still improving vehicle control.
Since initial widespread use in production cars, anti-lock braking systems have evolved considerably. Recent versions not only prevent wheel lock under braking, but also electronically control the front-to-rear brake bias. This function, depending on its specific capabilities and implementation, is known as electronic brake force distribution (EBD), traction control system, emergency brake assist, or electronic stability control.
ABS Components
There are four main components to an ABS system:
1..Speed sensors
2.Valves
3.Pump
4.Controller
Speed Sensors
The anti-lock braking system needs some way of knowing when a wheel is about to lock up. The speed sensors, which are located at each wheel, or in some cases in the differential, provide this information.
Valves
There is a valve in the brake line of each brake controlled by the ABS. On some systems, the valve has three positions:
•In position one, the valve is open; pressure from the master cylinder is passed right through to the brake.
•In position two, the valve blocks the line, isolating that brake from the master cylinder. This prevents the pressure from rising further should the driver push the brake pedal harder.
•In position three, the valve releases some of the pressure from the brake.

Maruti Suzuki Estilo- Review of a super car !!!
The three year old Maruti Suzuki Zen Estilo has been redesigned and the more than a decade old brand name Zen has been pushed into history and renamed as Maruti Suzuki Estilo. The new Maruti Suzuki Estilo has been redesigned to suit the Indian taste.
The new Maruti Suzuki Estilo's design is futuristic and more stylish. It uses the powertrain of the Indian WagonR. It falls between the Alto and WagonR segment, and will certainly attract the young buyers in terms of design.
The new Maruti Suzuki Estilo rolls out in four variants -- LXi, VXi, Zxi and CNG variants. All the variants are powered by 1.1L K-Series 3cylinder engine mated with Bharat IV compliant. The top-end model comes with optional safety features like Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), airbags and alloy wheels.
Powertrain and Performance:
The Estilo is powered by the A-Star's 1.0 L K-Series 3-cylinder engine. Power is transferred to the front wheels by a 5-speed manual transmission. The Estilo has enough sprinting power in the second and the third gears; in the third gear, it reaches a maximum of 100 kmph. The fourth and the fifth gears stabilize speed. The Estilo clocks 60 kmph in just 6 seconds and manages 100 kmph in 16 seconds, an all-time better than its stable mate WagonR.
The stiffened suspensions system does well during cornering and also on bad roads, when loaded. The electronic power steering is refined; it utilises least power and also cuts power off the pump, when speed of the car increases. It has a peppy engine with precise handling

The world class car of India!!! Maruti Suzuki Estilo
The major and much needed change for the new Maruti Suzuki Estilo is the introduction of new engine. The New Suzuki Estilo is powered by 998cc K-series engine from the A-Star. The engine has been changed a bit - now it generates maximum power of 68 Bhp at 6200 rpm with maxiumum torque of 90 Nm at 3500 rpm. This makes the New Estilo Bharat IV emission compliant with higher power to weight ratio and torque to weight ratio.
The new Estilo comes with a new Cable-type transmission technology. The five-speed manual gear with synchromesh is now changed to Cable type as against Rod-type, mechanical transmission earlier. This new transmission reduces the gear shifting effort in the new Estilo, by reducing mechanical losses.
New Estilo has been fitted with an advanced 'detent pin' gear shift and select mechanism. This mechanism eliminates the sliding friction (or line contact) between parts and provides rolling friction (or point contact). This technology, in turn, facilitates smoother transition of gears, and is a first among all Maruti Suzuki products.
Convenience
The new Maruti Estilo features a Power Steering, Power Windows, Remote Central Locking, Foldable Rear Seats, Rear Parcel Tray, Electrically Adjustable Outside Rear View Mirrors, Rear Wiper & Washer and a Rear Defogger for the comfort and convenience of its driver and passengers.
Safety
The car is equipped with many active and passive safety features that you expect from a car in this range. The top model comes with ABS (Anti-Lock Braking System), EBD ( Electronic Brake Distribution), Driver side SRS Airbag & Front, 3 point seatbelts & Rear Fog lights. In terms of vehicle security the VXi variant comes with i-CATS integrated keys, five-door central locking and anti-theft alarm.
The new Estilo is available in 8 shades - Superior White, Midnight Black, Silky Silver, Dusky Brown, Ecru Beige, Quantum Orange, Bright Red and Emerald Blue.
