What is K- series engine?

Is 1.2-liter K-Series engine in Maruti Swift better than the earlier 1.3-liter engine?

  • I need reliable explanation to your answers and with technical details.....Ex:How 1.2-liter K-Series engine in Maruti Swift better than the earlier 1.3-liter engine?

  • Answer:

    In the wake of tighter emission norms coming into effect from April 2010, Maruti has launched the latest version of Swift petrol and Swift Dzire petrol with a 1.2-litre engine which complies to the stricter BS-IV norms. This is the same engine that was first seen doing duty in the Ritz. The new engine, with a power output of 84bhp and 11.5kgm of max torque, will bring in improved transmission thus enhancing overall performance. (Earlier 1.3-liter petrol produced 87bhp and 11.3kgm of torque). With the refined K-series engine, the company claims efficiency figures of 17.9kpl, an improvement of 2kpl over the old engine. Though actual figures can only be confirmed after a detailed road test. The 1.2litre K-series petrol in the Ritz has won many accolades and this reputation will further boost Swift’s appeal as the 1.3-litre Multijet diesel is already selling like hot cake. Maruti has recently announced a marginal price hike for all its models, but the Swift (Petrol) will miss the drill and prices will remain the same.

O ya. K-series engines deliver better power and fuel economy. But 1.2 need not be coming in the Swift. 1.3 G-series may be more likely. Like in EECO.
