Waiting Period of Hyundai Elite i20, Maruti Suzuki Swift Facelift, Ciaz and Alto K10

For the past couple of months, Indian auto sector witnessed spree of car launches. In August, Korean manufacturer Hyundai launched Elite i20 while in October Maruti Suzuki launched Ciaz, both of which outshines their contemporary rivals. India’s largest carmaker with a market share of 44.77 per cent (In October) also introduced Swift facelift and next gen Alto K10 with AGS (Auto Gear Shift). In accordance with festive season of Diwali, bookings of these cars have touched a new high which further results in an increase of waiting period. While manufacturers are trying hard to mind the gap of waiting period by increasing the output, customers are still facing a waiting period of three to four months on their favourite cars. We called dealers across the country and found out the waiting period of Maruti Suzuki Ciaz, Hyundai Elite i20, Maruti Suzuki Swift facelift and Maruti Suzuki Alto K10 with AGS. We also like to add here that in some of the showrooms, cars are available but then you won’t have the opportunity to choose the sparky color or desired trim, you just have to go with the model and color available at the dealership. 

Maruti Suzuki Ciaz 

We earlier reported Ciaz’s waiting period in top 10 cities and trust me if I say, things are still the same. Last month in October, Ciaz outperformed segment leader Honda City with 6,345 units against City’s 5,120 units. In Mumbai, Ciaz garners a waiting of 3 months while in Delhi, the sedan attracts 2 to 3 months of waiting while some of the dealers are making sure that customers can get their desired models in 1 to 2 months.

Maruti Suzuki Swift facelift though looks similar to older model, but that’s not an issue for Maruti lovers. The hatch is getting the same good response which it was getting earlier. Though limited stock affected Swift’s sales as Maruti Suzuki sold only 11,965 units in October against 17,265 units in September. But as the word is getting out that the new Swift is available in market, calls and queries have started making their way to Maruti showrooms. In Mumbai, Swift gets a waiting of 1 month while in Jaipur the mid variant VDi is available after a wait of 20 to 25 days. In Delhi, Swift attracts no waiting and in Chandigarh, the hatch is available to customer in one to 2 weeks.
