Maruti Suzuki has brought out the Tour-S, which is basically the commercial version of the popular Maruti Dzire sedan. This new model takes the basic LXi variant and gives it options for both petrol and CNG. Now, the big thing everyone’s talking about is the CNG version’s mileage, which Maruti claims hits a solid 33.73 km/kg. That’s pretty impressive, right? It’s a single variant, but it’s got the essentials, and the price point is quite reasonable, starting at Rs. 6.79 lakh for petrol and Rs. 7.74 lakh for CNG, ex-showroom.
Safety and Design Keeping Things Simple and Safe
Now, safety is a big deal, and Maruti’s taken that seriously. The Maruti Dzire, in its fourth generation, got a 5-star safety rating from Global NCAP. That’s a first for Maruti, and a big win for safety-conscious buyers. The Tour-S shares the same platform as the Swift hatchback, so it’s built on a solid foundation. You’ll find it in Arctic White, which is a clean and practical choice. Design-wise, it’s got a nice grille with horizontal slats, halogen headlights, and daytime running lights. Plus, they’ve added a new fog lamp housing in the front bumper.
Inside and Under the Hood
Inside, it’s all about practicality. You’ve got keyless entry, power windows, and adjustable headrests for the front seats. For safety, there are six airbags, hill hold assist, electronic stability control (ESC), and reverse parking sensors. Now, under the hood, there’s a 1.2-liter Z-series three-cylinder petrol engine, the same one from the fourth-gen Dzire. It gives you 82 hp and 112 Nm of torque. You can choose between a 5-speed manual or a 5-speed automatic transmission. If you go for the CNG version, it delivers 70 hp and 102 Nm of torque.
Mileage and Efficiency
Let’s talk mileage, which is crucial for many buyers. The petrol version with a manual transmission gives you a claimed 24.79 km/l. And, as mentioned, the CNG version boasts 33.73 km/kg. So, whether you’re driving for work or just need a reliable car for daily commutes, the Tour-S seems to tick the right boxes. It’s built to be efficient, which means lower running costs, and that’s always a good thing. It’s a good practical car for Indian roads.
