Big discounts on Maruti 1.3L diesel cars

According to a media report, Maruti Suzuki is offering huge discounts on the old stock of its diesel cars. Discount of up to Rs. 74,000 is being offered on cars like the Swift, Dzire, Brezza, Baleno, Ciaz and S-Cross, that are powered by the Fiat-sourced 1.3-litre diesel engine.

The total benefits including consumer offer, cash discount or extended warranty, exchange bonus and corporate discount on the Swift, Dzire and Brezza is Rs. 67,736, Rs. 74,105 and Rs. 66,240 respectively. The discount offered on the Baleno, Ciaz and S-Cross is Rs. 30,000, Rs. 70,000 and Rs. 60,000 respectively.

Maruti is unlikely to upgrade the 1.3-litre, 4-cylinder diesel engine to comply with the BS-VI emission norms that are set to come into effect from April 2020. Therefore, the carmaker could be looking at clearing existing inventory. This engine is likely to be replaced with a new BS-VI compliant 1.5-litre diesel engine.
