Maruti Suzuki Swift Diesel is now more expensive

Maruti has announced that they are raising the prices of their recently launched Swift Diesel car by around Rs. 7000.

The new hiked prices are applicable immediately and follows the price hikes on their other models after the budget raised certain taxes.

As per available information, the LDI model of the Swift Diesel would now cost Rs 4.72 lakh as against Rs 4.68 lakh earlier. The Swift VDI model would now cost Rs 5.04 lakh compared to Rs 4.97 lakh before the price hike.

Maruti had launched the diesel model of their popular Swift car earlier this year as they aimed to benefit from the growing popularity of such cars. Rivals Hyundai are in the process of launching their own diesel Getz which would directly take on the Swift Diesel.

Maruti had said at the time of launch that the initial prices were introductory and they would be raising them at a later date.
