re: Maruti SX4 Diesel; Now launched at 7.74 lacs

Thats a great news. 80k more than the petrol variants is reasonable enough, and i am sure the SX4 would outsell the petrol variant in no time.

I don't feel so because he was not confident enough about the exact pricing; since the pricing was not declared. However I forced him to tell the rough idea.

Also asked about the Loyalty Bonus; since we have a DZire and will buy SX4, he said there is no such scheme as of now; but earlier Maruti had introduced such scheme for selected models which were not selling. He also told that there is no and there will not be such schemes for these 'hot cakes' like Swift Diesel; DZire, Ritz and this SX4 Diesel.[frustration]

Also; I was with my Dad so we checked out the SX4 ZXi. He was impressed with the car. Especially some aspects which were missed in our DZire like; High Ground clearance; Bigger boot space; comfortable rear passenger space; after me sitting in front in fully comfortable position.[evil]

SX4 is a nice car with a few niggling issues of which the low fuel efficiency is the primary one. Except that SX4 is great on comfort, styling and looks. I am especially fond of its heavy muscular exteriors.

re: Maruti SX4 Diesel; Now launched at 7.74 lacs

i have query on its efficiency though:

It may be 1.3 liters and that engine may be known for efficiency, but isnt the SX4 a damn heavy car? won't that blunt performance and efficiency?

Well when it comes to tuning, I think Suzuki has done wonders with Swift Diesel and DZire, so we can expect the same with SX4 Diesel too. Although i am pretty convinced that the 1.3L engine would be too undersized to deliver an out of the box performance, however it will definitely be fuel efficient.

Muscular looks with huge 16''chers![evil]

I too have the same query. Since the engines will be same and the power would be increased; the FE should go down.[roll]

Today went to S.K.Wheels Nerul; obviously to enquire about the new machine. They say it will on 15th Feb. They took my contact detail and lets wait for the launch.

The launch date looks to be true. The dealer didn't tell me the exact date, however he told that the car will be launched in Feb.

it applies exactly as it applies to current qdj manza with same power and linea with same power mill, all these three now shares same engine with 90bhp, it wont be a performer or a stonker of a car but would do the job rightly well for sx4.

Nice videos gears. I am eagerly waiting for this launch. I really wonder why Maruti Suzuki has not put any info of it on their webpage. They should have atleast put a teaser to create some excitement.

Thats the confusion. I asked two dealers; one told 18feb; the other one told 15feb! :lol!: However I both will call me wheneva the launch would be.

Thanks Akash! Well so what Maruti Suzuki didnt put any info of it on their webpage or a teaser to create some excitement; most of us here in TAI are already excited for this beast![evil]

re: Maruti SX4 Diesel; Now launched at 7.74 lacs

90HP for a car like SX4 should be adequate enough but not fast! I am waiting for this move from MS for a long time , the SX4 will sell like hot cakes for sure!


BTW Congratulations Gears!
