Maruti Swift Dzire 2008-2012

23th-Sept-2011: Maruti Suzuki India is gearing up to introduce a compact sedan of sub-four meter length based on the Maruti Swift Dzire model. According official sources, the trial runs have begun. Maruti India has come up with the decision to launch the compact sedan of 4.16 m length to make the most of the Government’s policy of levying low excise duty on the sedans based on the length of the car. The outgoing Maruti Swift Dzire attracts an excise duty of 22% as compared to the 10% excise duty on the compact model. The compact sedan codenamed as Swift 3.99 is currently being manufactured at the Manesar factory.
