Swift Dzire LDi

Even as the launch of the Hyundai Xcent – a compact sedan – is just around the corner, Maruti Suzuki has released a limited edition version of the Swift Dzire LDi. Dubbed the Dzire LDi X, the limited edition version of the compact sedan gets a host of new features while remaining mechanically unchanged. The car is powered by the 1.3 liter Fiat Multijet turbo diesel engine that is good for 75 Bhp-190 Nm. A five speed manual gearbox is standard.

The Dzire LDi X limited edition variant is priced at 6.86 lakh rupees, on-road Delhi, a price premium of about 37 thousand rupees from the regular LDi variant. Maruti Suzuki claims that the additional features on the LDi X model is worth about 46,500 rupees. By introducing the LDi X variant, Maruti Suzuki is offering a similar level of kit as it does on the VDi variant, albeit at a price that is about 67,000 rupees lower (Dzire VDi is priced at 7.53 lakh rupees on-road Delhi).
The Dzire is sold in seven other variants, 4 in petrol and 3 in diesel. The 4 petrol variants of the Dzire are powered by the 1.2 liter K-Series petrol engine that outputs 86 Bhp-114 Nm. While a five speed gearbox is standard on the LXi, VXi and ZXi variants, the VXi automatic version of the car gets a 4 speed automatic gearbox. The Dzire is India’s best selling sedan. However, competition is growing what with the likes of two new compact sedans, the Hyundai Xcent and the Tata Zest, lined up.

The all-new Corolla Altis comes with a new design, replete with LED headlamps and tail lamps. The revised design ditches curves for an approach that adds more straight lines. The result is a more E...

Fuel efficient cars in B segment

 In the land of the “Kitna Deti Hai”, diesel hatchbacks continue to rule the hustings, especially in the B+ segment space. CarToq rounds up India’s most fuel efficient diesel hatchbacks in an updated 2014 list. So, if you’re in the market for a diesel hatchback with an emphasis on fuel efficiency, you must stop by and go through this list. All fuel efficiency figures in this list are ARAI certified. Oh, and there’s a surprise in store. India’s best selling B+ Segment hatchback isn’t in this list. Whoever said Indians care only for mileage. Chevrolet Beat – 25.44 Kmpl Despite being the most fuel efficient hatchback in the country, the Chevrolet Beat doesn’t even sell half as much as the best selling B+ segment hatchback. The Beat Diesel manages 25.44 Kmpl, mainly due to its 936 cc – 3 cylinder turbo diesel engine that is a downsized version of the 1.3 liter Multijet diesel motor that Fiat and General Motors jointly developed. Although the engine is super frugal, the loss...
