Maruti Suzuki Ritz Automatic to Launch Soon

Maruti Suzuki has updated their official Ritz website to include an upcoming automatic variant of the Ritz. This is an indication that the company is prepping itself for this launch, quite possibly within the next few days. The Maruti Ritz diesel facelift was launched 2 months back with the petrol facelift waiting in the wings. Well, the wait is over and the petrol facelift will probably be out in a few days. Most of the details regarding the new variant are up on the website. The Ritz automatic will be available only in the Vxi petrol variant and will house the same 1.2 litre K-Series engine mated to a 4-speed automatic transmission. This is the very same transmission currently being used in the Maruti Suzuki Dzire and A-Star.

The Ritz automatic will process out 83bhp along with 114Nm of peak torque. Maruti Suzuki claims the Ritz automatic mileage to be 17.16kmpl which is fairly impressive considering that the Ritz Vxi manual hands out 18.5kmpl. From what we can see the rest of the car is completely similar to the Ritz Vxi manual variant.

However the new Maruti Suzuki Ritz is being offered in 3 new shades namely; Mystique Red, Breeze Blue and Granite Grey. Since the car is yet to be launched the Ritz Vxi automatic price is still being kept under wraps but we can safely assume the new variant will probably cost an additional Rs. 50,000-52,000. Stay tuned with CarDekho to get all the details about the Ritz automatic.
