Such a compact car will be manufactured by Maruti Suzuki at Manesar facility for export to Europe. Concept A-Star will demostrate the R&D capabilities of Maruti Suzuki. The Concept A-Star, developed in collaboration with Suzuki Motor Corporation, signifies that styling capabilities at Maruti Suzuki are now comparable to the best in the world.
