Maruti is really playing it safe. They must have spent more on the ad campaign than the sticker job on what ever they hope to sell combined.

Maruti Suzuki has introduced the Swift Deca limited edition in the country priced at ₹ 5,94,445 for the VXi trim and ₹ 6,86,983 (ex-showroom, Delhi) for the VDi variant.

The Swift Deca features touch screen multimedia system with Bluetooth, exterior and interior styling kits, sporty body graphics, and football themed seat covers. It will come in two colours - Bright Red and Pearl White.






Swift Deca, limited edition model is a tribute to one of sport's ultimate symbols of glory - the number "10". This holds especially true for football, where the best players in the game's history have carried the legendary "10" on their backs.

India's largest passenger vehicle manufacturer Maruti Suzuki has launched limited edition model of its most popular hatchback Swift - the Swift Deca. It will be available in two variants - Edition VXi (Rs 5,94,445), and Edition VDi (Rs 6,86,983).

Is it just me, or would people stay away from it considering how it would start to look as it ages?

MSIL is all out to sell copies of outgoing Swift with these limited editions. Last month it was for the entry level petrol trim LXi with music system and 4.58 lac as invitation price and now VDi and VXi.

I am sure there are buyers ready to pick up this limited edition too. A minor price increase is considered as VFM by many perspective buyers and MSIL plays it well every time.

It seems that the marketing department in the company is always on lookout of opportunities to push those few extra copies to maintain its share.

Cheers Maruti ! You manage it time and again.

A football edition car in a cricket loving nation. Hmm interesting i guess football fans are growing. I guess and hope Maruti is pushing its last existing stocks and making way for the new Swift.

They have some features of the Z trim like keyless entry, but does it also have dual airbags and abs as well ?

Seems Maruti is on a spree of Limited Editions.

"Maruti Suzuki on Saturday announced special edition of its car Alto in the name of Indian cricketer M S Dhoni coinciding with the upcoming multi lingual biopic on the cricket star. Dhoni along with Maruti Suzuki executive director R S Kalsi unveiled the special editions of Alto800 and AltoK10 at an event in Hyderabad on Saturday.

Alto's association with 'MS Dhoni — The Untold Story' is based on the cricketer's massive popularity which harmonizes with the credibility of Alto in India, the company said.

"M S Dhoni with his determination, successful leadership and hard work has achieved iconic stature. Maruti Suzuki Alto too is India's most loved car and an icon amongst automobiles. Alto appeals to customers for its design, performance, high fuel efficiency and affordable cost. Alto and M S Dhoni share great synergy for their unique qualities. This association will help to connect Alto even stronger with the customers,"said Kalsi.

The special edition Alto has Dhoni inspired seat covers with number '7', Dhoni's signature decal and body graphics, high-end music system, reverse parking censors among other features, the company said.

This edition is available in Alto(Lxi), Alto K10(Lxi, Vxi) variants. It is offered with a choice of two colour interior combinations-Black plus Silver and Red plus Blue. The cars with these additional features are offered at an additional price of Rs 16,777 and Rs 12,777 depending on the variants.
These cars will be made available at dealership points from the first week of October, 2016, according to statement."
