The Maruti Suzuki SX4 is an A3 premium segment sedan that blends style, comfort, performance, and safety.

Launch of the Maruti Suzuki SX4 coincides with the phasing-out of the Maruti Suzuki Baleno, which was launched in 1999 and could not see great success. The SX4 is the second international offering from the house of Maruti Suzuki, the first being the Swift. India is the first country to see the launch of the SX4, which proves India's worth as one of the hottest car-markets in the world.

The SX4 is being touted as the tallest, widest, and broadest sedan in its class. It is available in two variants, the Vxi and the Zxi. The SX4 boasts of various features which are available only in cars that cost about a lakh more as compared to it. That is why the SX4 is expected to give a tough competition to the Chevrolet Aveo, Ford Fiesta, Honda City, and Hyundai Verna.

Both, the Vxi and the Zxi variants are available in a host of Metallic colours such as Silky Silver, Clear Beige, Midnight Black, Sunlight Copper, Pearl Arctic White, Supreme Red, and Azure Grey.

Maruti SX4 is powered by 1.6 L 16-valve M-series engine that generates maximum power of 87bhp @ 6000rpm and maximum torque of 145 Nm @ 4200 rpm. The 1298 cc engine is equipped with MPFI ignition system. The suspensions, brakes, and transmissions were regulated in Europe, with further fine-tuning done to suit the Indian roads.

The beautiful interiors of SX4 have been given a dual-tone theme, which it very appealing. The use of quality materials in the interiors gives the vehicle a premium look. The dashboard of ZXi variant is equipped with fully integrated music system, with steering mounted audio controls. Intuitive cooling in the cabin is facilitated by automatic climate control system. The instrument cluster is elegantly illuminated, with dual info display.

Influenced by the latest European design trends, the SX4 boasts of a trapezium form, with wide treads and large wheels. Measuring 4,490 mm in length and 1,735 mm in width, the SX4 looks imposing. Arched fenders further add to its athletic and muscular stance. Its front fascia is dominated by a sporty boat-shaped grille and a headlamp cluster touching the bonnet. At the rear, the SX4 has got a large tail gate and rear bumper that improves its expediency.

Both the variants come with body-coloured bumpers, rear fog lamps, electrically adjustable outside mirrors, and a glass antenna. Some exterior features limited to the Zxi include front fog lamps and alloy wheels.

The Vxi comes with a manual air-conditioner while a single-zone auto air-conditioner maintains temperature in the Zxi. The Zxi is also equipped with a driver's seat height adjuster, a feature absent from the Vxi.

For safety of the driver and passengers, the Vxi as well as the Zxi feature seat-belts, child-lock rear doors, side impact protection beams, an intelligent Computerised Anti-Theft System (iCATS), and front door-lock canceller. iCATS is an engine immobiliser, which when fitted into an automobile prevents its engine from running unless the correct key is present.

Maruti Suzuki has been reborn as a make with a portfolio of global models. Way back in 1994 when Maruti Suzuki had introduced its first entry level sedan 'Esteem', it set a benchmark that continued to rule till late 2000. With the aging of Esteem, Maruti Suzuki scrapped the model from 2008 and has now introduced the new nal nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.cardekho.com/carmodels/Maruti/Maruti_Swift_Dzire" target="_blank" title="Dzire">Swift DZire sedan. Swift DZire is the sedan version of the famous Swift hatchback and resembles its sibling in most aspects.

While designing the new sedan, Maruti Suzuki has made an effort to retain the original overall design theme of the Swift hatchback. But the rear of the car is a complete deviation from the Swift and resembles the recently launched Maruti Suzuki SX4 Sedan.

The Swift DZire comes in six variants - LXi, VXi, and ZXi (Petrol) and LDi, VDi, and ZDi (Diesel). The trims are packed with upscale accessories, quality interior materials and safety features that are a first for the segment. The new car certainly looks to be a good replacement for the Esteem. By incorporating the design of the Swift hatchback, Maruti Suzuki has saved heavily on design cost and has managed the project on a low budget.

Maruti Swift Dzire is available in both petrol and diesel versions. The petrol version is powered by 1298 cc 16-valve engine that generates power of 87 bhp @ 6000 rpm and torque of 113 Nm @ 4500 rpm. The advanced gasoline engine delivers flatter torque curve, even in less rpm, ensuring better performance. On the other hand, the diesel variant is powered by 1248cc turbocharged DDiS engine that produces power of 75 bhp @ 4000 rpm and torque of 190 Nm @ 2000 rpm. The low noise and less vibration of diesel engine provide good fuel efficiency.

The Swift DZire retains the cheeky appeal of its hatchback sibling with a more premium look. Though the front fascia looks almost the same as the hatchback, it has got a flashy chrome grille and slightly sharper design headlamps.

From the side, the sedan has a complete redesign compared to the hatch, especially from the second pillar. It has bigger doors and larger window glass areas that make occupants feel roomier.

The DZire's back is entirely different from the hatchback. The trunk lid is raised and has a lip that merges with the shoulder line of the car. A thick chrome garnish on top of the rear number plate attempts to offset the heaviness of the oversized trunk lid. The rear also flaunts new clear-lens combination lamps.

The car's interior has a luxurious look and feel with the use of good materials. The steering wheel is the same unit that is offered with the Swift and SX4. The instrument cluster has round dials with chrome surround and features a white backlight.

Sound absorbing materials within the cabin of Maruti Swift Dzire enable the driver to have a pleasurable drive. The Zxi and Zdi variants of the car are equipped with adjustable tilt steering, which enables you to adjust the steering wheel according to your height. The headlamp leveling facility offers perfect light beam adjustment, thereby increasing the visibility during night. All these features ensure better handling of this sedan.
