Car leader Maruti Suzuki is all set to launch the new Swift Dzire by the end of this month and intends to ease out the aging Esteem. Swift Dzire, which is a 3 box version of Swift, will be offered in petrol as well as DDiS multijet diesel versions.

According to Executive Officer (Marketing and Sales), Mayank Pareek, Maruti Suzuki India Ltd: “The image of a hatchback and styling of Swift is carried forward to the Sedan. The new car will be available in both petrol and diesel variants.”
The Swift Dzire will sport a new grille, new fog lamp insert and tail lights with horizontal turn indicators. But what distinguishes it from the Swift hatchback is spaciousness. The Dzire, in addition, commands enhanced interiors without any alteration to wheelbase. Extra shoulder room and head room at the rear, further, adds to increased comfort. Security add-ins like ABS and twin airbags prove to be pluses too.

According to company sources, Maruti Swift Dzire is slated to be priced below Maruti SX4- the petrol version competitively priced between Rs 4.75- 5 lakhs and the diesel version at a slightly stiffer value of upwards of Rs 5.5 lakhs. Maruti, reportedly, is also jacking up its plant capacity at Manesar to touch 3 lakh units per year by 2010- up by a significant margin from the current 1.4 lakh units per annum.
