Maruti’s website indicates that it has relaunched the Ritz Elate limited edition which was available in July this year. Based on the mid VXi/VDi variant, the Elate sees several feature additions on the exterior and interior of the hatchback.

Alloy wheels, which are otherwise available only on the top-end variants, are seen on the Elate edition. The sides of the car get body graphics and door visors.

Inside, Maruti is offering a 2-DIN JVC music system with Bluetooth compatibility and an AUX-in port.

Again, a music system is otherwise seen on the ZXi/ZDi, though Bluetooth is not offered on any variant.

The seats get a special seat cover with Orange contrasts and a pillow, and a multipurpose bag is to be found at the rear.

Finally, the Elate gets rear parking sensors (a feature that is not offered even on the top-end variants) and floor mats.
