Guess what Maruti is up to? The car maker is swiftly taking its successful Swift to a diesel make over. The company has its sights set on the ever expanding diesel car mart , say reports.
Maruti Udyog Ltd is expected to lift the wraps off its new diesel Swift in a fortnight at an aggressive ex-showroom (Delhi) price of Rs 4.5 lakh. To be christened Swift D, the car will mark Maruti’s first mega attempt at the diesel car terrain. Industry reports said that the new Swift D will be powered by a 1.3 litre Fiat multijet engine, manufactured at the company’s factory at Manesar in Haryana.
It may be pointed out here that the car manufacturer had last year discontinued its two diesel models, Zen D and Esteem D, which had imported diesel engines. But with the Manesar plant up and running, Maruti plans to make a splash in this segment.
The Swift D is said to cost higher than higher price than the current petrol models . The Swift LXi is available at Rs 3.99 lakh, ex-showroom, Delhi . Dealers revealed that the Swift D which would debut in three variants by the month end will be the most fuel-efficient in its class. The price of Rs 4.5 lakh will make it the most lucrative deal in the market, they feel.Labels: Cars, Maruti |
