The country’s largest maker, Maruti Suzuki will be launching the sedan version of its most popular hatchback model, the Swift. The new Swift sedan is rumoured to be called as Swift 3.99, since the car has been designed with its overall length below 4 metre to get excise duty benefits. Thus, the company looks forward to expand its portfolio to 3 body styles on the same platform to gain profits and also work around the Government’s excise duty structure. The new Swift 3.99 is expected to be priced Rs. 50,000 below the current Swift Dzire and it is definitely going to plug the gap with the new Swift hatch positioned below. [click to continue…]

Maruti Suzuki is buckling up for all the losses it has made under the workers strike, it has hired new workers and the production of the cars is going on in full force. If you remember earlier we told you regarding a sub 4-meter Swift Dzire which was spied by Autocar, the company officials have confirmed that the smaller Dzire is doing test runs at the production factory. The Dzire which is based on the extended new Swift platform will come in a new avatar which will cut short the boot size to save off the excise duty. Earlier the Dzire would attract 22% excise duty which made it a little more expensive car. [click to continue…]

If you think Tata Nano is the only car which ignites, think again. Today morning a Maruti Swift DZire caught fire in Mumbai. The car was just three months old, when it ignited due to engine overheating at Vikhroli highway. Thankfully no one was injured but the car was gutted down completely due to the fire. The driver was coming from Aurangabad towards Mumbai. Now there can be various reasons for the fire, but till further evidences are not revealed, we cannot analyze why this happened. Hopefully this is a one off and not an inherent problem with the DZire, which hasn’t caught any fire till before this. Maruti Suzuki was unable to respond on this issue as they are busy dozing off bigger fires in Manesar.

We have already seen a spy shot of the upcoming all new Maruti Suzuki Swift DZire. The car certainly did not look impressive but now these renderings bring in some hope for prospective DZire buyers. The 2012 Swift DZire doesn’t look all that bad in these rendered images. Yes, it could be much better but the target of keeping the new DZire under 4 meters has led to such a compressed boot. At the end of the day, the DZire will save on crucial excise duty which will result in savings for the customer. [click to continue…]
