Prices of the Swift DZire diesel have been hiked by Rs 8000 to Rs 12,000. No price hike for petrol Swift DZire

New Maruti Suzuki Swift DZire

When Maruti Suzuki launched the second generation Swift DZire in February 2012 it was priced at Rs 5.80 lakh-Rs 7.09 lakh for the diesel versions. At the launch Maruti Suzuki did mention that the pricing was an introductory offer. The sub four-metre Maruti Suzuki Swift DZire has been racking up serious sales figures since its launch. Despite the price hike of Rs 8,500-Rs 12,700 after the Union Budget in April 2012, the new Swift Dzire has been selling in strong numbers. 

Now, Maruti Suzuki has announced the second price hike for the new Swift DZire diesel, which it claims is due to rising input costs. The prices will go up by Rs 8,000 to Rs 12,000 depending on the variant. 

The three variants of the Swift DZire diesel are LDi, VDI and ZDi. The LDi now costs Rs 5.99 lakh (a hike of Rs 8,000), the middle of the line VDi costs Rs 6.52 lakh (a hike of Rs 10,000), while the top-of-the-line ZDi variant costs Rs 7.34 lakh (a hike of Rs 12,000), all prices ex-showroom, New Delhi.

The acclaimed 1.3-litre DDiS engine that powers the diesel Swift DZire generates 75PS of power @ 4000rpm and 190Nm of torque @ 2000rpm.

                                                 Variant wise pricing comparo since launch:

VDi Rs 6.31* Lakh Rs. 6.42* Lakh Rs 6.52* Lakh
ZDI 7.09* Lakh Rs. 7.22* Lakh Rs 7.34* Lakh

As indicated by the table, the prices per variant of the new Maruti Suzuki Swift DZire diesel have gone up by roughly Rs. 20,000 since its launch in February 2012.

The price hike is confined to the diesel models only. The petrol versions of the Swift DZire will bear no price hike as sales are taking a beating due to heavy taxes on the fuel. The petrol Swift DZire is available in LXi, VXi, VXi Automatic and ZXi variants.
