Maruti Suzuki was comfortably selling 4,000 A-Stars a month until May this year when sales fell by more than half to 1,734 units. Recent sales reports indicate A-Star sales have dropped below the 1,000 mark with July sales at just 779 units making it the worst performing Maruti Suzuki cars now.
Maruti Suzuki's decision to provide these discounts is not surprising considering the reduced sales of the A-Star. Car sales in general have also dropped since June and carmakers have already offering discounts to sustain sales.
However the sharp decline in the A-Star's sales is an indicator that there are some faults in the car. Here are some of the factors that might have affected the A-Star's Fortunes.

The A-Star also has a small boot which reduces its practicality.
The Zen Estilo has managed to out sell the A-Star primarily because of its extra space.
