The K-Series petrol engine churns out 87bhp of top power and 114Nm of peak torque while the diesel motor dishes out a maximum power output of 75bhp and peak torque performance of 190nm. Both the engines would be mated to a 5-speed manual transmission. In Russia, Maruti also offers a top-end variant with 4WD system to endure the snowy conditions, but in India, it is not expected. Also, there comes a 4-speed automatic transmission in the overseas markets but Indian market is very unlikely to get it. It is expected to be launched in the same price domain, albeit a few thousands can move up or down. It would be launched by the 2014 end in India and lock horn with the likes of Hyundai Elite i20, 2014 Volkswagen Polo, Fiat Punto EVO and upcoming Tata Bolt.
