Maruti Ritz
Auto lovers around India are excited about the launch of new Maruti Suzuki Ritz. Claimed to be the car for everyone, Ritz has already captured many hearts. Here are some interesting specialties of Ritz.

The Ritz will be available with two different power-train options:

A 1.2-litre, four-cylinder, 16-valve unit with maximum power of 85PS petrol engine (Superb fuel efficiency of 17.7 kmpl: Certified as per CMVR rule 115).

The successful 1.3-litre, Common Rail 16-valve diesel (DDiS) unit that delivers a maximum power of 75PS. (Excellent fuel efficiency of 21.1 kmpl: Certified as per CMVR rule 115)

The all-new K12M engine on the Ritz Petrol has been specifically designed for Indian applications. The BS-IV and OBD-1 compliant engine promises to be best in class fuel efficient, high performance, low emission, lightweight, with lower NVH (Noise, Vibration & Harshness).


To make the all-aluminium engine lighter and more fuel efficient, high-grade plastic parts have been extensively used. The skirt area of the piston has been shortened to reduce weight, which helps in lowering friction and enhance fuel efficiency.


Maruti Suzuki engineers worked as part of Suzuki's engine teams for design, calibration and testing of the engine in Japan and in India. This is a step further in enhancing the engine development capability. Some other salient features of the all-new K12M are:

Innovative rocker-less DOHC cam shaft, plastic intake manifold and offset crank shaft with low tension rings to reduce losses and improve fuel efficiency

Smart Distributor Less Ignition (SDLI) system with dedicated plug top coils, High pressure fuel system & advanced injectors for superior atomization to provide uniform and optimized combustion for better performance.

Optimized cylinder block, light piston and nut-less con rod for light weight configuration.

Improved engine stiffness and use of advanced technology like silent timing chain to improve NVH characteristics
