Maruti Swift DZire ZDI AGS
Maruti has announced the introduction of
the Automatic Gear Shift (AGS) option to the Maruti Swift Dzire ZDI diesel
sedan, which is priced at INR 8.39 Lakhs. This is the first
diesel-powered Maruti to receive such an option.
The 5-speed automated manual
transmission (AMT) is likely to be supplied by Magneti Marelli, and is paired
to the 1.3-liter DDiS diesel engine in the Dzire ZDI variant, which produces 75
PS and 190 Nm of torque. The fuel efficiency is rated at 26.59 km/l for the
diesel automatic variant, which is the same as that of the regular model with a
manual gearbox.
Other than the inclusion of the AGS
option, there are no feature upgrades reported. The ZDI trim will be equipped
with 15 inch alloy wheels, electrically-adjustable and folding wing mirrors,
ABS, EBD, dual front airbags, automatic climate control and a Bluetooth-enabled
music system.
The only rival in its segment is the
Tata Zest F-Tronic AMT, which is priced at INR 8.15 Lakhs for the top-end XTA trim.
