List of Discount on Maruti Suzuki Diesel Models in August 2019

With the upcoming deadline of BS-VI emissions norms, the largest car maker in India has already announced that they will be moving out of the diesel car market, at least for the initial period of the strict emission norms regime. However, ahead of that like all other makers, Maruti is also facing record decline in sales due to the slowdown in the auto sector in India. However, the timing of the diesel decision is especially troublesome for Maruti. This is due to the fact that diesel powered cars still constitute more than 25 percent of Maruti Suzuki’s sales in India. The move to stop the diesel variants in the market could have a major impact on the sales of the maker as company still offers diesel variants of a majority of their cars in the market, these include Swift, Baleno, Ciaz, Ertiga, Vitara Brezza and the S-Cross. Notably cars smaller than the Swift do not come with the option of a diesel engine.

As many readers are aware the largest maker of India uses the Fiat sourced 1.3-litre Multijet diesel engine in the majority of the diesel cars it offers in the country. However, just recently the maker brought out the 1.5-litre DDiS diesel engine and launched it with the Ciaz C-segment sedan. This engine has been developed by the company in-house and the newly developed engine can also be upgraded to comply with BS-VI emission norms. This is not the case with the Fiat-sourced 1.3-litre Multijet diesel engine and hence the decision to move out of the diesel car space.

Therefore, in order to reduce the inventory pile-up the brand is now offering major discounts on all its diesel cars in the Indian market. Here’s a look at the discount:
