With new Maruti Swift launched this year, it’s time for the Maruti Suzuki India’s compact sedan Swift Dzire makeover. It is once again a shallow makeover mostly restricting it to exteriors of the car with nothing much to do with the engine of the car. The likeness between the new Maruti Swift and the new Maruti Swift Dzire seems to be more on cards. Moreover, the compact sedan will share the new Swift platform which explains the huge share of similarities between the two cars. The new Maruti Swift Dzire will however continue to carry the same petrol and diesel powertrain under the hood. Neither the hatchback has seen a change in that department nor the compact sedan is expected of.

The 1.2 L K 12 engine will continue to drive the petrol car, while 1.3 L DDiS Multijet engine sourced by Fiat will account for the high performance and remarkable fuel efficiency on the diesel driven compact sedan. Nevertheless it is too early to comment upon if the engine is tuned for better numbers. Coming to the 2012 Maruti Swift Dzire price, it might as well carry the similar price tag not with some outrageous difference to disappoint the consumers. The new version of the Maruti Swift Dzire will essentially need to gear up for the upcoming competition from new entrants, the Tata Manza CS and a compact version of the Mahindra’s Verito. So, it becomes all the more important that the auto major spruce up the looks of the Swift Dzire a tad to keep up with the competition.

The pricing advantage is unparalled with the government’s policy to levy lower excise duty by atleast 8% over sub-four meter length vehicles. The new Maruti Swift Dzire just fills the bill on both accounts.
