Raipur, July 16 -- Maruti Suzuki on Thursday said it will challenge the order of the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, Raipur, which directed the company to replace a customer's vehicle with a new E20-compatible model, asserting that the car involved in the case was already compatible with E20 fuel.

In a statement issued after the Commission's order, the automaker said, "The car in this case was an E20 compatible car, fully equipped to handle E20 fuel and so disclosed in the owner's manual."

Maruti Suzuki further contested the findings of the Commission, saying, "There is evidence of contamination in the fuel collected from the customer's vehicle. Several other relevant facts have also not been reflected in the order."
