The official launch of Swift Diesel with 1.3 Litre DDiS Engine in Europe on June 1, 2011. The most striking fact about the European Swift Diesel is the fuel efficiency which is astonishing 28.5 KMPL on Diesel. The new Swift DDiS will be powered by an improved 1.3 Litre CRDI Multi-jet Diesel engine with turbocharger.
With the improved engine, the top speed of the Swift Diesel DDiS 2011 will be 166 KMPH and it will reach from 0 to 100 KMPH in just 12.7 seconds which is not bad for a diesel car powered by a 74 BHP engine. The European Swift Diesel will feature 16 inch alloy wheels, seven airbags for safety, heated electric mirrors and other modern gadgetry. The Swift DDiS 2011 complies with the stringent Euro 5 emission norms with just 109gm of CO2 produced every Km.
