India's largest car-maker Maruti Suzuki has done it yet again with the new limited edition of Swift Dzire sedan. The new sedan has been rechristened as Swift Dzire LDiX and is being offered at a price of Rs 6.86 lakh (on-road New Delhi). For 2013 manufactured models, prospective buyers can also avail cash benefits ranging between Rs 30,000 to Rs 40,000. A cash benefit of Rs 17,500 can also be availed on the 2014 models. A loyalty benefit or exchange bonus of Rs 15,000 is also on the offering. Apart from this corporate discount of Rs 1,500 is also available.
Technologically the car has retained the existing 1248cc, D13A diesel engine that is considered to be the most refined and evolved engine in this segment. The diesel version also gets an inter-cooled turbo charger that delivers maximum efficiency and superior performance
. The diesel variant generates about 75 Ps of power with 190 Nm of torque. The overall drive experience in Swift Dzire is stable, comfortable and enjoyable owing to MacPherson strut with coil spring suspension for front wheels and Torsion-beam with coil spring suspension for the rear wheels. Safety is also taken care-off by the Indian car-maker with the Airbags, Brake Assist System (BAS) and Anti Lock braking system (ABS).
The limited edition LDiX is being offered with additional features like remote central locking, double-DIN stereo system with four speakers, power windows, vanity mirror under passenger side sun visor, front fog lamps and body colored wing mirrors with integrated turn indicators. The car looks stylish and different from its older siblings due to the presence of body color mud flaps, and high grade stainless steel door sill guard. The car-maker is also banking on the recently announced cut in Excise duty for vehicles in the country.
