Maruti DZire Diesel VDi (Old Model) Updates

Monday, 11 November 2024 05:51 PM Here are some news updates related to the Maruti Suzuki Dzire, focusing on the older models and relevant aspects, since the current models do not include a diesel variant:

Monday, 08 August 2022 09:35 AM Recall Campaign for Maruti Dzire Maruti Suzuki issued a service campaign affecting 21,494 units of the Dzire, including some older diesel variants, to address potential issues. This campaign was part of the companys commitment to ensuring the safety and reliability of its vehicles. I think such proactive measures enhance customer trust and satisfaction.

Wednesday, 15 June 2022 07:18 PM Market Speculation on Diesel Engine Return There were speculations that Maruti Suzuki might reconsider bringing back diesel engines, including for the Dzire, due to customer demand and competitive pressure. However, no official announcement was made, and the focus remained on petrol and CNG options. I believe the return of diesel engines would be a significant move, but it seems unlikely given current trends.

Tuesday, 31 March 2020 05:01 PM Maruti Suzuki Discontinues Diesel Engines Maruti Suzuki announced the discontinuation of its diesel engine lineup, including the Dzire VDi, due to the increasing costs and stringent emission norms. This move marked the end of the diesel-powered Dzire in the Indian market. I believe this decision was inevitable given the rising costs and environmental concerns.

Monday, 20 May 2019 08:48 AM Global NCAP Safety Rating The older Maruti Dzire models, including the diesel variants, received a 2-star safety rating from Global NCAP, highlighting the need for improved safety features. This rating was a concern for potential buyers looking for safer options. I think safety should always be a top priority, and manufacturers should strive for higher ratings.

Thursday, 10 January 2019 07:06 PM Price Adjustments and Variants In the past, Maruti Suzuki adjusted the pricing of the Dzire VDi to make it more competitive in the market. The VDi variant was popular for its fuel efficiency and performance. I believe these price adjustments helped in maintaining the Dzires market share despite increasing competition.
