Maruti Suzuki today launched the much awaited SX4 diesel in a price range of Rs 7.74 – 8.62 lakhs, its fourth diesel car . The car will be powered by a Super Turbo DDiS engine displacing 1.3 litres and churning out 90PS and a torque of 200Nm @ 1750 rpm. The car will be offered in three variants – Vdi, ZDi and ZDi with leather upholstery.

The engine is equipped with a variable geometry turbocharger (VGT), which helps in providing better performance and efficiency along with lesser turbo lag. In order to deal with the additional diesel vibrations the car has been provided with better NVH suppressants.

The suspension and brakes too have been reworked to deal with the extra weight and its distribution. 0-100 km/hr is claimed to be achieved in 14.5 seconds along with a linear acceleration curve.

The SX4 diesel is the first car in India to receive ‘OBD-2’ compliant certification, which informs the driver of any malfunction in the emission control system due to increased emission levels. The addition of a diesel powertrain has also made the car the country’s first to have a petrol, CNG and diesel variant.

Fuel efficiency is rated at 21.5 kmpl, certified as per CMVR rules. The engine will be manufactured at Suzuki Powertrain India Limited, the Manesar-based joint venture of Suzuki Motor Corporation, Japan and Maruti Suzuki India Limited. Prices for the variants are mentioned below.
