While most of the dealers have sold their inventory, only a few are offering the hatchback with attractive discount offers. This has been a successful model of the company and has been well received by the customers, it is to be known that it is manufactured by Maruti Suzuki itself and then sent to Toyota dealers. It has become one of the best selling cars of the company.
