The Ritz from Maruti Suzuki in India finally made its debut today, available in petrol and diesel engines. With the Ritz – a Superior stance hatchback positioned at the premium-end of the compact car market – Maruti Suzuki consolidates its leadership in the highly competitive compact car segment. The Ritz comes with the BS-IV and OBD-I compliance much ahead of the regulation being enforced in the country.

The Ritz has been specifically designed for India. Maruti Suzuki engineers worked with the Suzuki design team in Japan to co-design the car and carry out India-specific changes.

The heart of the Ritz are the brand new 1.2 Litre K12M Petrol engine and the 1.3 DDiS Diesel power-plant, each offering optimum performance and fuel efficiency. Alongside this, the transmission system has been optimized for the Ritz to match Indian driving habits. With this the Ritz offers the best-in-class combination of fuel efficiency and drivability.

In earlier years, people would turn to diesel-powered vehicles to help avoid the rising cost of gasoline. The variance in price per liter was obvious and for the wise motorist looking for manageable costs in fuel consumption, diesel run cars are certainly it.

But today, all that has changed. Gasoline has certainly become manageable and if you compare the price disparity, they are close to being the same. Add to the fact that diesel has been known to be a major pollutant hence making it a serious threat towards putting carbon emissions in check.

Gasoline is not spared from these carbon emission issues. But between the two, it is apparent that gas power is the lesser of two evils. Maintenance wise, it is easier to manage a gas powered car over a diesel engine especially if you talk about calibration issues which ensure optimum performance for vehicles.
