Maruti Suzuki is celebrating cumulative sales of 2.9 million units of its diesel models in India. To celebrate this milestone, Maruti Suzuki has announced to offer a free 5 year/1 lakh km warranty on the diesel powered Swift, Dzire, Vitara Brezza and the S-Cross. The company will continue to offer 2 year/40,000km standard warranty on the petrol variants of the Swift and Dzire. The warranty can be extended to 5 year/1,00,000km for an additional cost.
