Maruti Suzuki India will not compromise until it sees a huge market share and not letting monthly sales below 100000. The company said today that it will introduce a diesel variant of its premium sedan SX4 with a 1.3-liter turbocharged engine by Jan-Feb 2011.
The company has also announced that it might assemble the Kizashi model at its Gurgaon facility based on the demand it creates in India.
“The production of a 1.3 litre diesel engine with turbo charger is going on and we will start assembling it in SX4 once our plants reopen on January 3 next year after the annual weekly maintenance shutdown,” Maruti Suzuki India (MSI) Managing Executive Officer (Production) M M Singh said.
Coming to the turbocharged diesel engine will have many additional features highlighting the important ones those are efficient than the normal engines and will also generate more power output respectively.
Currently, MSI is sourcing diesel engines from Fiat for its diesel variants of Swift, DZire and Ritz with its normal 1.3-liter engines.
M M Singh has said that “it will be launched very soon”.
Will MSI assemble Kizashi locally?
MSI Managing Director Shinzo Nakanishi said: “This segment is very small and I am not expecting much volume. If volume increases, then we can look to assembly as a completely knocked down option.”
Singh said if the company decides to assemble Kizashi in India, it will be done at the Gurgaon facility.
