The Maruti Zen is a 5-door hatchback produced and sold in India by Indian automaker Maruti Suzuki. It has acquired significant popularity in India since the nameplate was first introduced in 1993. The word "ZEN" is an acronym standing for Zero Engine Noise. It also stands for the Japanese word "Zen" which derives from the Sanskrit word "Dhyana" and means "To figure out something by meditation or by a sudden flash of enlightenment."

Engine and Transmission

In the Indian auto market, Maruti has launched the upgraded version of Maruti Zen which is known as Maruti Zen Estilo. Maruti Zen Estilo is available with a new look and engine to attract the compact car lovers in India. The car is gifted with new KB series mill that was used in Maruti A-Star initially. The company developed the new KB series engine to upgrade its all models to meet the new BS IV emission norms that came into force since 1 April, 2010.

The new mill of Maruti Zen not only promises increased fuel economy but also enhances the engine output. The 1.0 litre, 998cc, 3 cylinder, DOHC type engine generates a high power of 68 PS at 6200 rpm and pumps out a top torque value of 3,500 rpm which is far better than the previous engine.

The engine of the Maruti Zen Estilo comes coupled with a new cable type gear shift technology that ensures precise, smooth and hassle-free gear shifting. The five speed manual transmission smartly uses the engine power to deliver uninterrupted performance.
