GM has license to produce the 1248cc diesel engine ( presently available in Swift and Palio ) in three cylinder format. This will make it some 936cc. Mostly the one ltr diesel will be this engine.
But Fiat is also said to be developing an 800cc twin cylinder diesel and 1 ltr three cylinder diesel. When the deal was struck on the present 1248cc, Fiat offered Suzuki to develop a new 1 ltr three cylinder diesel.
It is said that Suzuki rejected the offer. Mostly the deal you are talking about is for the 800cc twin cylinder diesel.
