The ten cheapest cars in the world - #3 - Maruti 800

Suzuki Maruti 800: 5-door hatchback. $4,994.

Until the Tata Nano arrives, the Suzuki Maruti 800 will be the cheapest car you can buy in India and in other nearby countries (and even South America). Some versions of the Maruti have been sold arrived in Europe and this inexpensive machine is called the "smallest car in production" for good reason: it's a really small car.

Power comes from a 0.8-liter 3-cylinder engine, which gets about 45 HP. Unfortunately, like some of the other misers on this list, the Maruti 800 needs 6.5 liters of gasoline for every 100 km of average driving (which comes to 38 mpg). Luckily, the driver can improve the economy to just 6 liters per 100 km (40 mpg) by turning off the A/C unit.

Ready to move on? Return to the list of the cheapest cars in the world.

Indian-built Suzuki under 109 g/km for 2008

Meet the Concept A-Star, the latest entry from Suzuki which will be introduced at the Auto Expo 2008 in New Dehli, India. The model, which was developed and will be produced by Maruti, Suzuki's partner in India, is set for export to European markets as well the Indian market.

Besides the styiling, which I quite like for such a small car, the A-Star promises to beat Europe's current gasoline fuel-misers (with the exception of hybrids): the Peugeot 107/Citroën C1/Toyota Aygo triad. Suzuki is developing a brand-new 1.0 liter engine with promised emissions under 109 CO2 g/km. No diesel is expected to be installed in this vehicle, which will surely hurt sales in a significant way, but the car will allow British buyers to pay the cheapest tax rate possible (£35).
