Maruti's SX4 diesel version to roll out

Maruti Suzuki's successful car model SX4 will be rolled out in diesel variants too. The new launch is inspired by the overwhelming response of the popular Swift DZire and Swift. The SX4 was initially launched as a five-door hatchback body style, marketed as the SX4 Crossover. The sedan version marketed as SX4 Sport, debuted at the 2007 New York Auto Show and was released in Japan, India and a few Eastern European markets. Now, the car will have some cosmetic and technical changes. It is expected that the base engine would be the typical 1.5-litre gasoline unit, identical to the one used in the Swift, the brand new 1.6-litre VVT seen in the new Grand Vitara and a 107 PS (79 kW), 1.6-litre DDIS along with the Fiat diesel engine with a maximum output of 120 PS (88 kW) and maximum torque of 280 Nm (207 ftlbf). Apart from this it is expected that around 60,000 units will be manufactured, 2/3 of which would be sold by Suzuki and 1/3 by Fiat and titled Sedici.
