About

The Maruti SX4 Diesel is a crossover sedan that made its mark in India with its muscular and robust design. Launched in 2007, it was later updated with a diesel engine to cater to the increasing demand for diesel vehicles. The 1.3L DDiS engine, equipped with a variable geometry turbo, provides a smooth and powerful drive, although it requires getting past 2,000 RPM to feel the full punch of the turbo. The car is known for its excellent build quality, comfortable ride, and good handling, making it well-suited for Indian roads. Available in VDi and ZDi variants, the SX4 Diesel offers a good balance of features, performance, and fuel efficiency, making it a practical choice for many buyers. The ground clearance of 190 mm and large 16-inch wheels ensure it handles rough roads with ease. While it may lack some premium features, it compensates with its overall value for money and reliable after-sales service from Maruti Suzuki.

Our take on this /// Verdict

The Maruti SX4 Diesel is a solid contender in its segment, particularly for those seeking a balance between performance, fuel efficiency, and practicality. While the 1.3L DDiS engine, though slightly underpowered at the bottom end, delivers a punchy performance once past the 2,000 RPM mark. The gearbox, although a bit clunky, has a satisfying feel. The cars muscular look and excellent build quality are notable, but some may find the interior design and features a bit lacking compared to competitors. Overall, its a good package, especially for those prioritizing fuel economy and Marutis reliable after-sales service.

Price

When the Maruti SX4 Diesel was launched, the price range was between Rs. 8.06 lakh and Rs. 9.54 lakh (ex-showroom). On-road prices varied depending on the state and local taxes, but generally, it would have been around Rs. 10 lakh to Rs. 11.5 lakh. This pricing made the SX4 Diesel a competitive option in the market, offering a blend of performance and economy that was hard to match at that price point. The slight premium over the petrol variant was justified by the improved fuel efficiency and the diesel engines characteristics.

Latest Updates

Wednesday, 20 November 2024 05:48 PM Maruti Suzukis future plans for the S-Cross do not include diesel engines. The company is expected to launch new variants with petrol and hybrid options, further indicating the phasing out of diesel engines. I believe this decision is driven by both market demand and regulatory pressures.

Monday, 15 November 2021 09:35 AM The next-generation Suzuki SX4 S-Cross has been spotted ahead of its official debut, but there is no mention of a diesel engine option. This suggests that the new model might follow the trend of focusing on petrol and hybrid powertrains. I think this could be a strategic move to align with global market trends.

Wednesday, 05 August 2020 10:48 PM The 2020 Maruti Suzuki S-Cross diesel did not receive any visual updates compared to its previous diesel model. The focus was on transitioning to a petrol engine with mild hybrid technology, leaving the diesel variants unchanged in terms of design. I think this was a missed opportunity to refresh the look and attract more buyers.

Wednesday, 05 August 2020 10:08 PM Maruti Suzuki has shifted its focus from diesel to petrol engines, including the S-Cross. The 2020 model saw the introduction of a 1.5-litre petrol engine with SHVS mild hybrid technology, replacing the diesel option. This move aligns with the companys strategy to phase out diesel engines. I believe this shift will impact the S-Crosss appeal to diesel enthusiasts.
