Our take on this /// Verdict

The Maruti SX4 Diesel ZDi is a well-rounded package that caters to the needs of both city drivers and those who frequent the highways. The 1.3-liter DDiS engine, though not the most powerful, provides adequate performance and excellent fuel efficiency, which is a significant selling point in the Indian market. The gearbox, although a bit clunky at times, offers a satisfying driving experience. The cars handling is exceptional, making it a joy to drive on both city roads and highways. However, the lack of punch at lower RPMs can be a bit of a drawback for quick overtaking maneuvers. Overall, the SX4 Diesel ZDi is a solid choice for those seeking a reliable, fuel-efficient, and comfortable vehicle.

Price

When the Maruti SX4 Diesel ZDi was launched, its price was positioned competitively in the Indian market. The ex-showroom price for the ZDi variant was around 8-9 lakhs, depending on the location. On-road prices, including taxes and other costs, would typically range from 9.5 to 11 lakhs. This pricing makes the SX4 Diesel ZDi a value-for-money proposition, especially considering its features, performance, and Marutis extensive service network. However, prices may have varied over time and by location, so its always a good idea to check with local dealers for the most current pricing.
