Engine options on offer are a 1.2 liter petrol engine and a 1.3 liter diesel engine. Both are mated to a five speed MT. You also have the option of AMT. Mileage claimed stands at 22 kmpl for petrol variant, while 28.4 kmpl for diesel variant. This makes the new DZire India’s most fuel efficient car.

Swift and Dzire together generate over 42,000 units of sales for Maruti Suzuki India. This in spite of the fact that many new cars have been launched in the segment. Because of this high demand, Maruti has asked its vendors to make new investments and expand capacity to keep pace with the growth rate. The small car specialist is confident of meeting its target of selling 2 million units a year by 2020.

Meeting the target would require increasing the production capacity significantly. The Gujarat plant is expected to receive another Rs 2,500 crore investment in 2018-19 so that it can enter the second phase of operations. Maruti will also invest another Rs 7,000 crores at the Toyota plant in Bangalore, where they will manufacture Baleno and Brezza.
