The Maruti Versa is a microvan produced by Maruti Suzuki and sold in India since October 2001. The Versa is a clone of the now discontinued Suzuki Every Landy. It is the second van released by Maruti Suzuki since the Maruti Omni was released in 1984. There are two basic versions of this car in production; the two 8-seater DX/DX2 versions, and the 5-seater STD version. The DX2 version of the Versa is equipped with twin air conditioners for front and rear. The 82 bhp (61 kW) engine is located under the front seat.
The initial target audience for this vehicle were customer who planned to buy a sedan like the Maruti Esteem or a utility vehicle like Tata Sumo. About seventy percent of the vehicle components are made within India. The Versa has a 16-valve, 1.3-liter 4-cylinder engine generating 82 hp (61 kW) at 6000 rpm. It is controlled by a 16-bit engine management system. A curb weight of 985 kg (2172 lb) gives it a high power/weight ratio. The Versa can reach from 0-60 mph in 13.5 seconds.
