The sedan will be launched on March 26
NEW DELHI: Maruti Suzuki India Ltd (MSIL) is all set to launch its much-awaited sedan ‘Swift DZire’ on March 26 that will be available in petrol and diesel variants. Though the company officials did not reveal the price of the car, it is likely to be priced below the existing sedan ‘SX4’ launched last year. However, auto experts say the petrol version would be in the price range of Rs. 4.50-Rs. 5-lakh, while diesel variants would be available for over Rs. 5.50-lakh.
“The image of a hatchback and styling of Swift is carried forward to the sedan. The DZire project, which started in 2005, is a planned progression of the Swift hatchback. The new vehicle has been designed and conceptualised at about Rs.30 crore,” said MSIL Executive Officer (Marketing and Sales) Mayank Pareek during the preview of the new car here. Maruti Suzuki will be expanding the capacity of its Manesar plant to three-lakh units a year by October 2008 from about 1.4-lakh units. The Manesar plant will produce the diesel and petrol variants of Swift hatchback and sedan, SX4, and the yet to be launched A-Star
