Maruti Swift DLX edition
Maruti-Suzuki have launched the Maruti
Swift DLX edition, based on the entry-level LXi/LDi variants of the hatchback.
Priced at INR 4.54 lakhs, ex-Showroom for petrol, the Swift DLX adds a few
extra features over the LXi/LDi variants.
A music system with Bluetooth, USB and
speakers, power windows for all doors, central locking, foglights and
blacked-out pillars are some of the feature additions on the DLX variant. There
are no further changes to the Swift DLX edition.
It continues to be powered by the
1.2-liter K-Series petrol engine capable of 84.3 PS and a fuel efficiency of
20.4 km/l. The diesel Swift gets the 1.3-liter DDiS engine capable of 75 PS and
a fuel efficiency of 25.2 km/l. Both engines are available only with a 5-speed
manual transmission.
The Swift, in recent months, has seen a
dip in its sales numbers as buyers are preferring the premium Maruti Baleno.
Using the same engines as the Swift, the Baleno has seen over 100,000 bookings
and still accounts for a waiting period of 4-6 months.
