New Maruti Swift Dzire is powered by the same engines which power Swift hatchback. The 1.2 litre petrol engine comes from K series family and is associated with variable valve timing. 19.1 kmpl is the proud mileage figure that can be attained while driving a new petrol Dzire model. However, this is only for the manual variants and automatic VXi variant suffers from lesser mileage (17.4 kmpl). The 1.3 litre diesel engine is the other type of motors which powers the diesel breed of new Swift Dzire. The engine is found to be pretty much refined with a mileage of 23.4 kmpl on highways. More mileage is the result of DDiS engine with superior CRDI fuel injection system combined with turbocharger and intercooler that offers efficient combustion of each and every drop of fuel. These exceptional figures come straight from ARAI tests and provide much scope for Dzire notchback to enrich its portfolio.
The K series petrol engine of the new Maruti Swift Dzire crosses the barrier of 100 km in just 12.60 seconds and reaches top speed of 169 kmph. This 1.2 litre engine is mated to a five speed manual transmission and four speed automatic transmission. This is for the first time that Swift is being offered in automatic transmission. So can one expect the level of ease for driver. On the other hand, the 1.3 litre diesel engine has a better acceleration compared to petrol motor and reaches 100 km in just 14.8 seconds and top speed of 162 kmph. It is quite evident that diesel is quicker and refined than the petrol guise. It has a fixed geometry turbo charger with intercooler.
Fourteen inch wheels with steel rims are used in the base and mid level variants while the top end petrol and diesel models are bestowed with 15 inch alloy wheels. The tyre size is noted to be 165/80R14 for the steel wheels and 185/65R15 for elegant alloy wheels. Five spoke wheels look cutting-edge. These cult alloy wheels have a new-age pinwheel style that expresses the oomph of Dzire.
Safety features are taken care of in Maruti’s new Swift Dzire. The sedan, though, have been crushed to come up with a compact version, but safety features are top-notch, usually not expected in an entry level mule. Front dual SRS airbags, ELR seatbelts, AntiLock Braking System, Brake Assist, Electronic Brake Distribution and an Engine Drag Control system are the safety features that would be present in new Dzire models. ABS with Brake assist and EDC prevents skidding and ensures a minimum stopping even on the most slippery roads. Rigid body structure ensures cent percent safety and handling.
Integrated stereo with MP3 player on higher models is present. Nippon music system blends the music well in this new car. 4 dynamite speakers translate the music very well in the cabin along with 2 tweeters. Radio with CD player and USB adds practicality in this car.
