Maruti Suzuki India has launched the SX4 in Diesel avatar. The SX4 Diesel will compete with the likes of Fiat Linea Diesel, Volkswagen Vento and Tata Indigo Manza.
The SX4 Diesel uses Fiat-sourced 90bhp, 1.3 Multi-jet diesel unit, that powers the Linea and the refreshed Tata Manza. While the SX4 hatchback in Europe uses Fiat’s 1.9 diesel engines, for India, the 1.3 Multi-jet was considered a more practical choice as it is essentially the same base engine as the one in the Swift and Dzire but with a Variable Geometry Turbo (VGT).
Prices of the SX4 Diesel are Rs 7.74 Lakh for VDi and Rs 8.62 Lakh for top of the line ZDi variant while the Volkswagen Vento starts at Rs 7.99 Lakh for the Trendline variant and Rs 9.23 Lakh for the Highline Variant. The Fiat Linea is priced at Rs 7.40 Lakh for the base Dynamic variant while the top of the line Emotion Pack is priced at Rs 8.71 Lakh. All prices ex-showroom Delhi
