Maruti SX4 in May

By:Deepesh Rathore




The Maruti-Suzuki SX4 is just around the corner. I have been invited to a test drive on the 25th-26th of April with our auto journalists but will have to decline due to prior commitments. So I will only get my hands on the SX4 after the official launch in May.

The SX4 is an interesting vehicle since it's a sedan based on a small crossover platform. Ground clearance is going to be generous and one can expect the SX4 to cope with potholed roads of India very well. Maruti will launch the SX4 with a tweaked 1.6-liter petrol engine though a 1.3-litre diesel (the Swift's engine with a VGT) is expected to follow.

Pricing? I would assume that with an indigenization level of 79%, the SX 4 would be priced at around INR 660,000 for the base model. And at that price, the SX4 will rock the segment
