Maruti trademarks names for YRA

Maruti and Suzuki both have started to trademark names for the YRA or the iK-2. The names so far registered are all with beginning with an S. The names are Salady, Suzuki S-Sense, Sowel and Swanky. So, it seems that they will want to continue with S for the name of the YRA. Let us hope it isn’t called Salady for good sake.

The earlier reported name Fronx by some other website, doesn’t seem to be the likely name. We even learn that Suzuki couldn’t register S-Sense and had to go with Suzuki S-Sense as Famostar Emergency Lighting B.V. has already got it registered. It is still a bit early to come to any kind of conclusions, but it seems Suzuki will like to stick to S.

The YRA will be powered by a 1.2-litre petrol and 1.0-litre turbo petrol with an option of manual and automatic transmissions. This premium hatchback will be first launched in Europe and then it will be making its way into India as well. The European model will also be Made in India and will be coming with a diesel engine too. The YRA will be placed above the Swift and will be direct competition to the Hyundai Elite i20 and the Honda Jazz.

Maruti will be selling the YRA through its Nexa Experience dealerships. The Nexa will be selling the YRA, YBA, S-Cross and the Ciaz to commence operations. The Swift and the Ertiga will be sold through the existing Maruti dealerships along with the other smaller cars. Maruti will be launching the Ertiga facelift in the coming few weeks. This will be coming with additional features as well.
