Auto stocks are trading in the red led by Hero Motocorp and Force Motors. According to a leading financial daily, Maruti Suzuki is now focussing on bigger cars to build its market share. Its first multi-utility vehicle Ertiga has been very successful and the auto company wants to focus on bigger utility vehicles and sedans to maintain its leadership position in the automobile market. Maruti is planning to give a face lift to its mid-size sedan SX4 and other utility vehicles like Grand Vitara, SX4 crossover utility vehicle and compact SUV are also on radar over next 2-3 years. For its sports utility vehicle (SUV) Grand Vitara, Maruti is considering local production or assembly of parts.
