Spied once again - New Maruti Suzuki Swift near Delhi
Given the rise in demand for cars costing between 3.5-5.5 lakh rupees, the company, according to a leading business newspaper, is planning to boost production to about 17k units from the current 13k units. This is a brave move as new entrants like Etios Liva, Honda Brio are going to be available in the marketplace. If Maruti manages to sell 17k units a month despite the new arrivals, the Swift stays in the lead.
The new Swift will come with the same 1.3-liter Multi-jet diesel engine and the 1.2-liter K Series engine. The latter might be equipped with variable valve timing enabling it to produce close to 90PS.
