India’s largest car maker, Maruti Suzuki, has launched the diesel version of SX4, its highly popular sedan. According to the car major, the SX4 Diesel is cleaner and more fuel efficient than all comparable cars in its class and will be offered in three variants: VDi; ZDi and ZDi (with leather upholstery). Further, the company says, the Super Turbo DDiS engine mounted on the SX4, delivers 90PS of peak power at 4000rpm. The engine offers a maximum torque of 200Nm at 1750rpm, which is comparable to higher capacity engines in competing cars. To the customer this implies excellent response and acceleration.  Maruti Suzuki, a subsidiary of Suzuki Motor Corporation of Japan, is the leader in passenger cars and MPVs in India. The company enjoys a market share of more than 50% in India, meaning that out of every two cars sold in the country, one is a Maruti Suzuki. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Regarding the diesel version of SX4, the company claims that the car offers an impressive fuel efficiency of 21.5 Kilometers per liter (certified as per CMVR rules), which is 8% more than comparable cars. The diesel version is also the first car in the country to be certified as 'OBD-2' compliant. OBD refers to On Board Diagnostics. OBD-2 informs the customer of any malfunction in the emission control system which may be leading to undue increase in exhaust emissions.
“SX4 with a Diesel engine is one of the most attractive cars in the upper A3 segment. With the changed urban landscape, suburbs have become an integral part of cities and people travel long distances. The new age diesel technology as offered by the SX4 Super Turbo Diesel is high on power and performance while being low on emissions. SX4 Diesel offers an economical and punchier ride,” said Shinzo Nakanishi, Managing Director & CEO, Maruti Suzuki said, at the launch of the car.
