The New 2012 Maruti Suzuki Swift DZire

When Maruti Suzuki launched Swift way back in 2004, it was the beginning of a change in the Indian Automobile market. Now being one of the most popular vehicles currently available in India Swift has grown more from its initial version launched 8 years ago. The Swift DZire, the Sedan version of Swift is one of the first choice cars for many. The Sedan version of Swift gained popularity banking in all the impression the Hatchback ‘Swift’ made. The Swift DZire is now getting new looks and features. The new model will be launched soon and Maruti hopes it would continue the success its predecessor brought 4 years ago when it was launched. The new Maruti Suzuki Swift DZire is scheduled to be launched by February 2012.

The 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 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.

The interior features of the 2012 Dzire compact sedan will be somewhat similar to the new Swift. The major features include:

• Modern steering wheel design
• Integrated audio system
• Waterfall design centre console
• Auto climate control
• Wood finish inserts on the dashboard

Chrome inserts, silver accents and leather trim are few other new features incorporated in the model.

The new Dzire is reduced to less than 4 meters. The new Swift DZire unlikely to be cheaper than the current DZire, and may cost between Rs. 4.94 lakh and Rs. 7.29 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).
