The subscription-based ownership service allows the customers to opt from select Maruti models (WagonR, Swift, Dzire, Vitara Brezza, Ertiga, Ignis, Baleno, Ciaz, S-Cross, and XL6) for versatile tenure (from 12 months to a maximum of 48 months) options at a fixed monthly charge. This monthly fee also includes registration charges, insurance, maintenance, 24×7 roadside assistance, and other general services correlated to vehicle usage. However, the brand won't be responsible for the running cost of the vehicle.
It is also essential to note that the subscription charges may vary depending on several parameters like location, variant, subscription period, annual usage, and registration type. Maruti has so far tied up with ORIX Auto, ALD Automotive, and Myles Automotive for this service.
