Maruti Swift Diesel LDi (O) Updates

Wednesday, 15 March 2023 09:20 PM Maruti Suzuki has discontinued the diesel variants of the Swift, including the LDi (O) trim, due to the engine not being updated to comply with the BS6 emission norms. The 1.3-litre diesel engine, which produced 74bhp and 190Nm of torque, is no longer available. I believe this move is a significant shift towards cleaner and more efficient petrol engines, but it might disappoint those who preferred the diesel option.

Friday, 10 March 2023 06:26 PM The discontinuation of the diesel Swift variants has led to the model being available only with a 1.2-litre petrol engine, producing 89bhp and 113Nm of torque. This change affects all diesel trims, including the LDi (O), which were popular for their fuel efficiency and performance. I think this transition highlights Marutis focus on adhering to emission standards and promoting petrol engines.

Monday, 20 February 2023 12:09 PM Before the discontinuation, the Maruti Swift diesel variants, including the LDi (O), were offered in six trims and were known for their robust 1.3-litre four-cylinder motor. These variants were popular among buyers who valued the diesel engines performance and fuel economy. I believe the absence of these variants will be felt in the market, especially by those who preferred the diesel option for its long-term cost benefits.

Sunday, 15 January 2023 11:57 AM In the period leading up to the discontinuation, Maruti Suzuki did not provide any updates or upgrades to the diesel engine to make it compliant with BS6 norms. This lack of investment in the diesel technology led to the eventual phasing out of the diesel Swift models. I think this decision reflects the industrys broader trend towards petrol and alternative fuel vehicles.

Saturday, 10 December 2022 11:37 AM The last sales figures for the Maruti Swift diesel variants, including the LDi (O), showed a decline as buyers began to anticipate the transition to BS6 compliant engines. Despite this, the diesel models remained popular for their performance and efficiency until their discontinuation. I believe the legacy of these diesel variants will be remembered for their reliability and fuel efficiency.
