Maruti SX4 which is one of the latest offerings from the automobile giant Maruti was launched in May 2007. It was directly pitted against the likes of successful cars like Honda City. Most Maruti Suzuki review sites indicate that the car has become quite successful since its launch and has been well received in the market. The advantage of the car is its great styling along with fully loaded features that are offered at entirely affordable prices.
Maruti Grand Vitara
Maruti SX4 Specification
To start off the car has a futuristic design that is quite unique and even then the design makes the car look well balanced. The car comes with a 1.6 VVT engine which is compliant with the emissions norms that will be effective in 11 cities within India from April, 2011. The engine is a 4 cylinder 1486 cc petrol engine capable of generating maximum power of 102 Bhp at 5500 rpm and maximum torque of 145 Nm at 4200 rpm.
The car is 4490mm in length and has a width of 1735mm and a height of 1570 mm. The wheels may seem slightly large for the car. The car has independent front as well as semi independent rear suspension and a turning circle of 5.30 meters. The car has power steering along with front disk and rear drum braking system. The ground clearance of the car is 190 mm and the fuel tank has a capacity of 50 litres. The car has 5 manual gears and the total kerb weight of the car is 1200 kgs.
The Variable Valve Timing or VVT system in the engine allows change in the timing of intake valve during the operation of the engine. This ensures that power wastage or shortage problem is not faced and this in turn ensures greater engine efficiency, better fuel consumption and low emission. With this technology the car is also able to climb steep areas better. The suspension of the car however may seem too stiff and so low speed ride may seem less smooth particularly over undulations. The wide tyres though offer excellent grip and speeding on corners can be extremely easy.
