Swift DZire - The latest offering from Maruti Suzuki
Maruthi-Suzuki just launched the sedan version of the Swift calling it the Swift DZire which replaces the venerable Maruti Esteem. The car which features the same engine options as the hatchback Swift, 1.3 Petrol and Diesel options will cost around Rs 1 lakh more than comparable versions of the Swift.
Shinzo Nakanishi, Managing Director, Maruti Suzuki India Limited said that the company had decided to stay with the old G13 engine from the Esteem and the Swift because the newer M-series engine family as on the SX4 would have added significantly to the costs. India is the only country where the Swift is sold with the old G-series engine.
The higher end ZXi and ZDi versions of both cars feature several safety features such as Anti-Lock Brakes and Airbags. Mayank Prereek, Head of Marketing, MSIL believes that the car will give a fillip to the moribund Entry-A3 segment of the auto market.
Prices (in Rs lakhs, ex-showroom Delhi):
Petrol 1.3 LXi - 4.49 VXi - 4.97 ZXi - 5.90 | Diesel 1.3 LDi - 5.39 VDi - 5.85 ZDi - 6.70 |
