It has the same engine as SX4 diesel. This engine has enough grunt since it already powering the SX4, Linea, Manza etc (dont expect a good 0-100 time). Having said that 1.3 is more suited for hatch. Had test driven Sx4 few months back, its not fun to drive as my Palio even-though it shares the same engine with different tuning.

This months (or last months?) ACI carries a preview of this engine. Some highlights:

* Based on the current swift platform.
* Part sharing means competitive pricing.
* Wheel base > innova!!
* the Petrol version coming with k-seires 1.4 98 bhp.
* Mid bench is comfortable and has a separate blower
* Petrol/diesel tank moved more towards the center.
* Back seats are not that good (for a tall person).
* Lot of features similar to new desire.
* Gear ratio tuned for highway drive.
* I think boot (don't know what to call it) bigger than XUV500.

PS: not sure if this already posted.

Thanks,

If they are taking 2 years to deliver the car to the indian idiots when are they going to deliver in Indonesia ? 5 years ? or Indonesia gets the preference?
