Diesel Maruti Dzire, Swift Vitara Brezza, S-Cross Get Free 5 Year Warranty

The new warranty package will be offered to Swift, Dzire, Vitara Brezza and S-Cross buyers at no extra cost

• The standard warranty offered on Maruti’s petrol cars in 2-year/40,000km.
• This warranty package can be extended to 5-year/1 lakh kilometres.
• Maruti Suzuki is set to discontinue its diesel models by April 2020.
• However, Maruti’s 1.5-litre diesel unit could make a comeback if there is enough demand for it.

Maruti Suzuki has announced that it will now offer a standard 5-year/1 lakh km warranty on some of its diesel cars. The list of cars that will be offered with the new warranty scheme are the Swift, Dzire, Vitara Brezza and the S-Cross. 

Maruti offers diesel engines on the Ertiga and the Ciaz as well, but the carmaker has opted not to offer the new warranty package with these models. These cars continue to come with a 2-year/40,000km warranty as standard.

Although Maruti has not revealed the reason behind this move, we believe this step has been taken to attract customers who are shying away from buying a diesel Maruti car since the carmaker has announced it will pull the plug on its diesel cars by April 2020.

It is important to note that the Ertiga and the Ciaz come with an in-house developed 1.5-litre diesel engine unlike the cars that now come with the longer warranty package that pack a Fiat-sourced 1.3-litre unit. The company says it could reintroduce the the 1.5-litre diesel with upgrades to meet BS6 emission norms depending on the demand, but the 1.3-litre unit is definitely on its way out.
