Maruti Swift To Get 1.2L DualJet SHVS Petrol Engine .

the new engine will make the Swift more powerful as well. It kicks out 89 bhp at 6,000 rpm and 113 Nm at 4,400 rpm. While the Baleno has ARAI-certified fuel economy of 23.87 kmpl, the Swift could become more frugal compared to the regular 1.2-litre petrol engine as well. The launch is expected in the coming months.

Maruti Swift to get 1.2L DualJet engine, mild hybrid system - Post moved to a new thread.

[Leoshashi]

I don't think the Swift will get the Mild Hybrid system of the Baleno K12N, specially when the Dzire doesn't get it. Dzire gets the K12N DualJet engine but without the Mild Hybrid system, and I expect the Swift to be similar mechanically.

Agree. With that, they can price the DualJet version at par with the present K12 engine, just like what they have done with Dzire.

The best thing Maruti can do is to add a Turbo to the sweet K12 engine, with a power figure around 110 / 120BHP. In that way, they can use the 80BHP version in WagonR, 90BHP version in Swift, DZire and Baleno, and the Turbo version in Ciaz, Brezza, S-Cross and the (upcoming / never-coming) Jimny.

Their 1L Turbo has a bad low end, and the 1.5L engine lacks out-right performance, IMO. The 1.2 4-cyl Turbo can be a good balance.

AFAIK, Suzuki doesn't make a 1.2 Turbo anywhere in the world right now. Maruti probably won't take it upon themselves to develop one. They'll be throwing their entire engine R&D budget into BS6 diesels for now.

At best they can try and locally manufacture the 1.0 or 1.4 turbos, but that's not going to happen for a LONG time after they burnt their fingers with the Baleno RS.

A damn shame, really.

A powerful turbo petrol int the Swift will be tons of fun to drive for sure. I have no clue why Maruti is stubbornly refusing to give small turbos another shot (after the Baleno RS debacle) because these engines are already gaining popularity and here to stay. Major manufacturers such as Hyundai, VW, Mahindra etc. have all joined the small turbo petrol bandwagon and Maruti should take a long hard look at bringing back these engines into the Indian market. The Swift RS would be the perfect recipient for this endeavour.

With due respect, not sure if you guys realise this, Maruti made no special effort to give us Baleno RS. They had the engine imported from Japan, they were making it for exports, they channelled some towards our market with minimal changes. They have always been like this. Remember the Alto 1.1 Variant in the early 2000s? That too was an export spec variant, which maruti sold in limited numbers here. Again what do you guys think Ciaz S is? They export Ciaz to countries like South Africa which get all Black interiors. Spruce that up with some cheesy Body kits and bingo, you get a new variant. Zen 2 door-Again an export spec model.

This is probably why we didn't get the Swift Boosterjet. And this is exactly the same reason why I'm pretty sure that if Jimny 3 door is manufactured here in India for exports, we will surely be getting it as atleast one of the variants. That's Maruti's way of utilizing their production to the maximum.

Do notice the trend that these models remain in production only till Maruti exports similar cars from India. Once that is over, the variant dies.

The only last true effort by Maruti was the S Cross 1.6 IMO.

Agreed. The 1.6 DDIS was the last honest effort by Maruti to provide a "performance" variant, and that too only till the facelift came in. Their strategy has always been to cater to the broader consumer spectrum who do not care too much about how much horsepower and torque they are getting for their money.

However, my feeling and earnest hope is that since the market is slowly maturing towards smaller turbo petrols (or at least likely to mature in the coming months) Maruti might think it commercially expedient to bring in such an engine as a mainstay of the range, and not just leftovers from their export cache.

Good decision by Maruti.

The current K12M lost its zing after introduction of BS6. The performance is muted.

The dualjet should spice things up again for the Swift Petrol.

[volkman10]

Maruti Swift facelift to boast enhanced performance and efficiency and likely to be launched in this festive season ( Q3- 2020).
No substantial increase in price.

Maximum power on the dual injector (per cylinder) engine sees a substantial jump of 7hp, to 90hp, and combine that with the expected kerb weight of 895kg, and you arrive at a power-to-weight ratio of around 100hp per ton. So expect a good increase in performance, with a 0-100kph time of 10-11sec.

Suzuki's Dualjet engine with the hybrid system could turn out to be more efficient in the real world. Turbo lag and boost on these smaller-capacity engines often play havoc with fuel flow and efficiency, so Maruti may be on to a good thing here. A healthy improvement in overall fuel efficiency is also expected

Bits that could be carried over from the international facelift include the large fighter-jet-like 'air-intakes' that surround the fogs, new headlights, and Maruti is also working on a new, larger grille. The Indian car is also likely to get larger alloys and a wider rear bumper.

There will be some upgrades to the trim, a new and larger touchscreen could be drafted in, and Maruti could even debut its new SIM-based connected tech system here
