The second generation New Swift Dzire is unlikely to be cheaper than current model despite being brought under the 4 - meter mark
The new Maruti Suzuki Swift Dzire is scheduled for launching in February this year. While the physics and politics behind the betrunked sedan's styling can be better understood in our first drive report of the car, here are some definite specifications for the homegrown passenger car which in its sedan and hatchback versions have clocked record breaking sales figures over the many years in this business.
The New Swift Dzire petrol variant boasts of the K12M VVT petrol engine which delivers 87PS of power @ 6000rpm and a decent 114Nm of torque @ 4000 rpm. Tuned to offer a spirited drive yet retain a decent mileage figure, the petrol Dzire is capable of going from 0-100 km/h in just 12.6 seconds and deliver a company claimed fuel efficiency of 19.1 kmpl.
The New Swift Dzire diesel variant retains the tried and tested 1.3-litre DDiS engine that generates 75PS of power @ 4000rpm and a solid 190Nm of torque @ 2000rpm. Being a class leading engine in terms of fuel efficiency, the diesel Dzire offers a company claimed 23.4 kmpl and still manages to go from 0-100 km/h in just 14.8 seconds.
Swift Dzire will be offered with a 4-speed automatic transmission in the petrol version and manual for the diesel Multijet version. Although its sub-4m size will qualify it for lower excise duty of 10 percent, a top Maruti official said the souped-up model is unlikely to be cheaper than the current Dzire, which is taxed at 22 percent and costs between Rs. 4.94 lakh and Rs. 7.29 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).
