Thoughts About Maruti Suzuki Hiking Prices Of Nexa Cars

Though the latest price hike introduced by Maruti Suzuki makes Nexa cars even more expensive, it is not by so much that it will negatively impact the sales figures of the Indo-Japanese automaker. However, we do expect sales figures of the Ignis to go down for at least a couple of months.
