Updated Maruti SX4 launched with automatic gearbox


Maruti Suzuki yesterday launched an updated refreshed variant of its mid-size sedan, the SX4. The launch also included a new automatic gearbox variant that will only be available on the top end ZXI version. 

Apart from this, the SX4 also gets the following changes.
1. The engine gets a power boost to 104.7PS, up from 103.4PS on the older car. The torque however remains the same.
2. Its gets a new sporty honeycomb grille
3. New sexy 10 spoke 16-inch alloy wheels
4. New dual tone interiors
5. USB connectivity for the music system

The new SX4 range starts at Rs 6.68 lakh for the base version, going upto Rs 8.36 lakh for the top ZXI automatic version with ABS, EBD and airbags. The SX4 hasn't been doing very well for Maruti and this move could change the whole story here. There isnt any other good automatic car around this kind of money - the Honda City for example sells for almost Rs 2 lakh extra for a similarly equipped top-end model.
