By launching Ritz with BSI-IV compliant engine,Maruti lifted the bar further for their competitors.
Maruti Ritz as expected now comes in both petrol and diesel versions.The petrol version is powered by Maruti’s latest K12M engine and diesel version is a surprise,the engine is 1.3ltr DDiS.Maruti places Ritz in A2 segment where they already rule the game.There is no doubt Ritz will eat into Swift’s pie in near future.

Hi George, you are completely right in mentioning Maruti has studied the market well and priced the Ritz in a good range. Hyundai keeps making mistakes with its pricing.
The Ritz seems VFM and has good looks too. Only thing missing in the ZXI is the Auto Climate Control. Also the price diff between the VDI/VDI ABS and the VXI/VXI ABS is a little interesting as the difference for the diesels is 18K while that of the Petrols is 25K !!! Any idea why ?
Dear Sushil,
Thanks for commenting.The variation in pricing in same variants in diesel and petrol may be due to additional componets in fuel system of petrol engine.(This is a generic statement).Hope I will you let you know some more specific details later on.
