Maruti Suzuki SX4 to be Launched with Bharat Stage- IV compliant engine

September 25, 2009 – 11:57 am by CarWale Team

Maruti Suzuki will tweak SX4’s engine by increasing the torque by 20-30Nm. This new more powerful engine will fulfill the Bharat Stage IV emission norms which will be levied from April 2010 across 11 Indian major cities.

The production for the SX4 has come to a halt and the new SX4 will be launched in a few weeks time. Maruti Suzuki already has a few cars like the A-Star, Ritz, and the Zen Estilo which fulfill the BS-IV emission norms.

  3. What about those who have recently purchased this car by paying huge amount to the Maruty. Now they may feel having a car with less tarque, Non compliant enginne with low efficiency, low milage even after paying Rs 8.12 Lakhs to the maruty.This is the reason people feels Honda is better and SX 4 failed to beat the Honda City. Some compansation may be paid to old costomers by Maruty

  8. I believe Maruti is launching a new variant of SX 4 with automatic transmission I am currently using Sx 4 ZXi since June 2007 one of the first cars delivered in Mumbai by sai Service. I am glad that Maruti has listened to our requests for last 2 years and decided a positive step. I was about to book New Honda City automatic which I may put on a hold if Sx 4 comes with a automatic version. With the excellent service support of Maruti they should bring in quality cars in India and enhance the Image that they are not only small car producers

  11. Guys don’t buy Maruti cars, Just because you see those cars more often on road don’t make them good.
    Go for ford, Honda, Fiat, Hundai etc.
    When you can have same features in lower price why to waste money on Maruti

  14. Did Honda compensate those who bought their old cockroach looking City ZX model weeks before they launched the City 2008? This kind of thing happens and no company is liable to compensate those who buy an old model that is phased out.

  17. Now It has been Launched

    Maruti Suzuki, the largest car manufacturer in the country, today launched the new SX4 sedan with an engine powered by advanced VVT technology. The company has also introduced a 4-speed automatic transmission variant of the new SX4.

    The environment friendly new SX4 is amongst the first A-3 segment sedans to be BSIV compliant in the country. BSIV regulations are scheduled to be introduced in the country in April 2010. The new SX4 comes with a brand-new sporty honeycomb grille and 10-spoke 16 inch alloy wheels and dual tones interiors and plush upholstery.

    Announcing the new SX4, Mr. Mayank Pareek, Executive Officer (Marketing & Sales) said, “The new SX4 is set to raise its own benchmark in luxury segment, even further. The car’s distinctive stance and style profile is characteristic of today’s modern sedans. With a VVT engine, it is all set to send the adrenalin pumping while caring for the environment. The 4-speed automatic transmission addresses the needs of today’s cosmopolitan customers for convenience in the stop-start city traffic conditions. The new SX4 with a range of contemporary features is sure to win many a hearts.”

    The VVT or Variable Valve Timing allows the timing of the intake valve to be changed while the engine is in operation, thereby ensuring that there is never a shortage or wastage of power. This leads to improved engine efficiency, optimized fuel consumption and lesser carbon emissions. With the advanced VVT technology, the car starts, accelerates and climbs steep slopes better. In essence, the technology is an intelligent system leading to a a smoother, more luxurious drive and better mileage.

    With a more efficient engine, the new SX4 has ARAI certified mileage of 15.6 km per litre of petrol. The superior technology engine helps the SX4’s four-valve, 1.6 litre engine produce a maximum power of 104.68ps @5600 rpm. The engine also has a high torque of 145Nm @4100 rpm.

    Automatic transmission
    The 4-speed automatic transmission makes the city drive much easier. A slick shift allows easy down-shift and effortless up-shift to ensure a smooth and sporty drive. The instrument cluster incorporates an electronic display to highlight the engaged gear.

    A cluster of computer controlled sensors constantly manage the throttle input and optimize the engine response accordingly, thus requiring no changing of gears. The overdrive mode in the Automatic Transmission provides additional power on the tap, whenever needed.

    When the SX4 sedan was launched in May 2007, Maruti Suzuki was the first automobile company to introduce class leading premium features such as air-bags, steering-mounted audio controls, auto climate control, glass antennae and many others in an A3 segment car for customer benefit. The tradition continues in the new SX4 with the company bringing in advanced VVT technology, which has so far been used only in the luxury SUV, Suzuki Grand Vitara.

    The interiors have been stylized in new two-tone beige colours to define calmness and luxury within the vehicle. The steering mounted controls are illuminated for easier usage at night, while there is a new provision of USB connectivity on the dashboard.

    In addition auto climate control system, and windshield antenna, the new SX4 sedan also offers illuminated key insert and variable instrument illumination.
