I am not confused but Swift ZDi it is.

I love the Polo but for its ASC. That is the only reason and I need peace of mind so sticking to Maruti. 110 kms a day with Maruti & Hyundai having their ASC near by. Can't take a risk.

I was tempted by the 1.6 GT TDi but for the price and ASC have to remove that option.

I was browsing through the Maruti Suzuki website and made a observation, I knew that Vdi / Vxi ABS variants are not available currently, but I didn't know that Vdi / Vxi variants are come with standard ABS and Air bag.

Below Screenshot from the Maruti Suzuki website



But the brochure say's something else



Which is to be believed?

ABS was available as an option in VXi trim in the earlier model but it is not the case now. current swift gets airbag and ABS in Zxi/Zdi only

Believe none. Go to the dealer and clear your doubts. Check the car physically and enquire rather than seeing the webpage that is not updated properly.

+1.

Airbags, Brake booster, ABS/EBD all are available in 'Z' variants only.

ACC, ABS+EBD, Airbags, Steering controls, wider profile tyres+alloys. These are the missing features and if a customer is Ok with the lack of these then it is a good buy.

I feel Maruti is trying to get attention and to shoot sales for dull numbers it is giving them.

The OTR would be 6.7L on average over the states in India. Decent move from Maruti.

Main question is: When is 'YDi' coming?

I don't think the cruise control can be installed after market or from Maruti
after manufacturing. It is better if they come installed from the factor else they can start to act up and have a mid of their own.

Features like ABS, Rear wash/wipe were something I wanted to retro fit but it is not possible and not worth it. So the decision I made for my future was, if I buy any car from now on it will be the Top-End model let what the price be. No compromise on safety whatsoever.

True, it is not feasible to install, but asked it out of curiosity.I guess Car makers in India are still not used to give features like traction control, cruise control, hill assist, creep function et.al as standard.May be a part of the reason may also be the market.

Just found out today that new Maruti Swift Diesel comes with a hydraulic engine mount. Maruti doesn't shout about it and so not everyone knows about it.

It may shout in the 2014 model. They are late in most things so nothing much to say. Moreover not many would have noticed that engine mount.

So my question to you: How is starting and switching off of the engine feel? Does it shake the car or is it smooth?

Why do you think they have to shout in 2014 when they have been selling this car with this mount ever since they rolled out the new Swift in 2011?
Maruti were giving hydraulic mounts before Toyota decided to give it to their refreshed Etios and Liva diesel models, so i don't see how they're late.

Late in the sense publicity or mentioning it in ads and brochure. Not all understand the mounts and know how it looks. I meant it this way.

When did the VDi variant start coming with ABS ?

There was no such option when i bought mine.
