New Swift Dzire – prize,features,Specifications
Maruti Suzuki India Limited (MSIL) is all set to launch its new compact sedan. Unveiled at the Buddha International Circuit in Greater Noida, the 2012 Maruti Suzuki Dzire or the “Heart Car” will be launched on the 1st of February 2012, following the success of its predecessor, the Maruti Suzuki Swift.
Less than 4 meters in length, the new Dzire, has a shorter boot, new tail lamps and a chrome accent. The shorter size meant to qualify it for a lesser excise duty of 10 per cent as opposed to the current rate of 22 per cent on the Swift.
3995 mm in length, 1690 mm in width and 1530 mm in height with a wheelbase 2390 mm and 1000 kg weight the new Dzire is built keeping in mind India’s latest obsession with “small” cars. Though the company may have compromised a tad bit too much on the boot size in their bid to keep the car under 4 meters. But the creators have a different motive, so though the look is a little boxy it is set to pack a punch.
The car will have a five-speed manual transmission (the petrol variant will have a four-speed automatic transmission) with synchromesh in all gears and will be available with both petrol and diesel engine options. It has also been imbibed with the detent pin tech and variable valve timing that enables smoother shifting.
The petrol variant is supposed to have a K12M VVT petrol engine which delivers 87ps of power @ 6000rpm and a 113Nm of torque @ 4000 rpm and can reach up to 145 kmph speed. While the D13A DDiS diesel engine will include the 1248cc, intercooled, turbocharged diesel engine that will deliver maximum power of 75ps@ 4000rpm and a 190Nm of torque @ 2000rpm.
When it comes to the interiors, the Dzire will not see much difference when compared to its predecessor. It will retain the auto climate control, modern steering wheel design, integrated audio system with six speakers and waterfall design centre console. However, newer features like the black dual tone, lighter beige theme color for the cabin, wood finish inserts on the dashboard and door panels, have been incorporated for a better look and feel.
Though the price has not yet been disclosed, it has been made known that the Dzire will be available in seven regal colors, namely Arctic White, Silky Silver, Clear Beige, Midnight Black, Bright Red, Azure Gray and Sovereign Blue.
The only thing to do now is wait for the road price to be disclosed, which will be sometime in February, and then it’s time to hit those Maruti Showrooms for a glimpse of the new Dzire.
So auto fans, are you are ready to to get your “Heart’s Dzire?”
