While the price of Swift with the new K12 engine remains the same, price of DZire has been hiked by Rs. 10,000.
Sir, I have a Swift dezire Vxi which is powered by K series engine. The car has already run more than 5000 KM. This is my 4th car. This is the only car which I have is not returning the mileage claimed by the company or Rule 115 of CMVR. The reliable figure is 12 in city and 16.5 in highway without A/C. I wonder how Maruti Suzuki managed to get the certificate. The earlier Esteem I had, gives the same mileage.Iam not feeling any difference of new K series car or the old Dzire. Hope one day I may get the mileage claimed by the Maruti.
