However, the Fiat sourced engine is a strategic decision which is also powered in Maruti Swift and Maruti Swift Dzire but they also come with Variable Geometry Turbo (VGT).

In India diesel cars own a great potential in the mid size segment. Maruti SX4 will face major competition from the diesel version of Volkswagen Vento. As per the experts the undisputed king of the Indian automotive market will have to play the cards right with the new sedan to score good in the specific segment. The rumours are doing the rounds that it will be Rs 1 lakh less expensive from its arch rivals.
