Maruti Suzuki exports Ritz (Splash)  to South East Asia
Maruti Suzuki India has announced that they have begun exporting their Ritz  (Splash) small car to the South East Asian countries.

The first batch has been sent to Indonesia.

Maruti already export their A-Star (Suzuki Alto) hatchback to Europe for sale under the Suzuki brand.

A company representative said: “Indonesia is a prime destination for Ritz. On Wednesday, the first lot of 500 units of Ritz, sporting 1.2 liter petrol engine are being dispatched to Indonesia.”

In India, Ritz is offered with 1.2 liter petrol and 1.3 liter diesel engines.
MSI, which had originally launched the compact car for the domestic market, said Ritz will be basically targeted at the South East Asian markets and hopes to make it a poster boy of its overseas sales.

The move to target South East Asian markets with Ritz comes on the heels of its flagship export model A-Star (Suzuki Alto) crossing the one lakh units mark for exports in December, within 11 months of starting overseas shipments.

The A-Star (Suzuki Alto)  is exported to 44 countries, predominantly in Europe, along with Philippines, Taiwan and Hong Kong.

“A-star  (Suzuki Alto)and Ritz   (Splash)  represent important steps by an Indian company to emerge as a car manufacturer with global appeal. It is in line with parent Suzuki Motor Corp’s vision of turning India into a global hub for compact cars,” the official said.

MSI already has a comparatively goods market in Indonesia with a cumulative export of 11,145 cars of various models so far.
