New Delhi: Maruti Suzuki has temporarily stopped the production of SX4, a model that failed to cut much ice in the market despite being priced significantly lower than Honda City, leader of that segment. Now, Maruti Suzuki will upgrade SX4 with a new Bharat Stage-IV engine and a minor facelift in the next few weeks. From April, 2010, eleven cities in India will upgrade to the Bharat Stage-IV emission norms and Maruti Suzuki’s SX4 is currently compliant with only Bharat Stage-III norms. When contacted, a company spokesperson declined to comment. Last month, the company had introduced a new version of its Estilo compact sporting a Bharat Stage-IV engine. The company has said it will be upgrading more models to the new emission norms in the coming months. Asked whether the company has plans to introduce a diesel variant of the SX4, the spokesperson said there were no immediate plans towards this end. Maruti is believed to sell only around 1,000 units of the SX4 monthly.
