SX4 Diesel - Is it on the cards? Update: Now launched

Keralite · 22nd February 2011, 06:58

So, according to the information came in, which includes the brochure, compariing the gorgeous Linea, Sx4 diesel has only the Maruti's huge network service advantage!

"Initial Sluggish movement" was only the factor going aginst Linea..........!

The ZDI must be somewhere in between 10.5 to 11.0 L on road? I am confused....!

Below are the prices Ex Showroom - Delhi:

MARUTI SX4 VXI (BSIV) 697006
MARUTI SX4 GREEN VXI 754005
MARUTI SX4 ZXI MT (BSIV) 772173
MARUTI SX4 ZXI MT,LEATHER(BSIV) 806262

Considering this, the ZDi should be 8.72 lakhs ex showroom - should be in 10 lakhs on-road !

When is the launch? The site is still not updated about the Diesel variant.

I had a look at this car in Hyderabad at a Maruti showroom because a colleague was interested in the SX4 D.

They didn't have the pricing information from the company, but said the indicative price would be between 9 - 10 L on road.

ACI review of SX4 D

SX4 Diesel test drive and review | Autocar India

sharma_sanjeevi · 22nd February 2011, 12:15

Seems to be another Winner from Maruti, but only if they price it right..!!

Is the launch happening today ?, according to the dealer it was supposed to be launched today. I came to know when i visited the Dealership on Sunday.

Any guesses / information on pricing for the ZDi ?

kapilvgupta · 22nd February 2011, 12:29

The 'Detent Pin' mentioned in the ACI review and the SX4 brochure has intrigued me.
So did a bit of research on it and to summarise - it basically influences the gearshift behaviour and results in improved gearshift experience and feel.
You can get a detailed pdf on its working here.

@Mods - please move this post into the correct section if it seems out of context here.

Here's the news on Economic Times. Introductory price at 7.74 - 8.62 (Ex-showroom Delhi). I think thats a great price to withstand or even outperform the competition.

Ajay, thanks for the information. So how much would it cost in Mumbai Ex-Showroom ?

In case it is under 9 Lacs i am a probable customer for Maruti, otherwise if it crosses 9 Lac mark, i would then prefer the Linea, as it is costing 8.95 Lacs ex-showroom Mumbai, that too with a Great Feature List under its belt.

ajay_satpute · 22nd February 2011, 14:03

^^^ It should be slightly more than Delhi costs. Can not say exactly how much more, but it will be around 30-40k more.

Ram_NP · 22nd February 2011, 15:08

Here is the press release from MSIL, with details of modification done for the SX4 diesel version. Official FE is 21.5 Kmpl.

ph03n!x · 22nd February 2011, 15:22

The Diesel specs are up in the SX4 site. The pricing is not up though.

Very well done.

The pricing is good. MSIL has a winner in its hands again. Sad that the waiting period is going to be loooonnngggg for this car too.

What is "SUPER TURBO"?

cpbopanna · 22nd February 2011, 15:37

MSIL speak for VGT..like DDiS for CRDi. I guess the use of 'VGT' must be registered, like 'CRDi' is!!
