Maruti to launch SX4 sedan in India
Maruti has already stopped the production of their Baleno sedan in the Indian market. That leaves the market leader with just the Esteem as their sedan offering.
However, sources have said that the company is now working on launching the SX4 sedan in India later this year.
This would be a brand new car for the Indian market just like the Swift was launched 2 years ago. Analysts say that this launch could be the company’s biggest and best hope of breaking into the three-box segment.
The SX4 sedan from Suzuki is based on a totally new platform and is sold in the markets around the world as a hatchback model.
It is unlikely that the company would use the Baleno name for this new car considering the failure of the older model to excite the Indian customer.
The new car based on the SX4 platform is likely to be launched with an all-new 1.6-litre petrol engine and possibly with the same 1.3-litre DDiS diesel that powers the Swift diesel in India.
Experts believe that Maruti could price this new car in the range of Rs 6 lakh to Rs 7.5 lakh.

I was there at the Geneva Motor Show where Suzuki show cased this car. I guess its great to look at. If Maruti gets this car as it is it will swipe Honda City of its feet. Really looking forward to it.

The 1.6-litre car, developed by Suzuki, will be unveiled at the Geneva Auto Show later this month. Sources said the car is likely to be priced between Rs 7 lakh and Rs 8 lakh and will be aimed at buyers looking to upgrade from smaller cars to one that suits the whole family
The SX4 will be touted as Suzuki’s second world car after the Swift. “Suzuki and Maruti want to prove they are not just good compact car makers but can make better and larger family cars,” sources said.
