Maruti came up with the NEXA dealer network a couple of years ago. These dealerships, which made their debut with the launch of the S-Cross, aim to provide a more premium car-buying experience to the buyers of models such as the Baleno, Ignis, Ciaz, and, of course, the S-Cross. The NEXA network was launched as a part of the manufacturer’s transformation journey. These premium retailers were followed by the True Value 2.0 used car showrooms. In the latest move, the manufacturer has decided to revamp its regular dealer network, too. The spruced up dealerships will become a part of the upcoming new Maruti Suzuki Arena showrooms. Maruti Suzuki goes on to claim that its Arena dealerships will be dynamic, trendy and tech-loaded.
The Arena network will provide customers a better new car-buying experience. These showrooms will look a lot more modern and sophisticated and will have a friendly staff that will help buyers choose the correct car model. With the launch of Maruti Suzuki Arena showrooms, the popular car company will have four distinct retail channels: Maruti Suzuki ARENA, NEXA, Commercial and True Value, addressing needs of all customers. Maruti targets to set up over 80 Maruti Suzuki Arena showrooms by March 2018. Progressively, existing showrooms across India will focus on extending the Arena experience to customers.
