Expert opinion and recommendation

The Maruti Suzuki Ritz VDi is a solid choice for those seeking a reliable and efficient diesel hatchback. Its engine, particularly the 1.3-liter diesel unit, is praised for its responsiveness and mid-range punch, making it enjoyable to drive, especially once the turbo kicks in around 2000 RPM. The car offers good ground clearance, which is apt for Indian roads, and its suspension handles potholes and speed breakers well. However, there are some drawbacks, such as the noticeable engine noise, slightly heavy steering, and the quirky rear design that may not appeal to everyone. Overall, the Ritz VDi balances performance, fuel economy, and practicality, making it a viable option for both city driving and long road trips.

Latest Updates

Recent news and announcements

The Maruti Suzuki Ritz VDi, a popular diesel variant, was discontinued in 2015 to make way for new models like the YRA. This decision was made after the Ritz saw relatively low sales, with only 34,500 units sold in the fiscal year 2014-15. The VDi model, known for its 23.2 kmpl mileage and 73 bhp engine, was a favorite among those seeking fuel efficiency. I think this move was necessary for Maruti Suzuki to stay competitive in the market.
April 17, 2015
In its final years, the Maruti Suzuki Ritz VDi received several updates, including the introduction of the Ritz Elate Edition, which was aimed at attracting more buyers with additional features and discounts of up to Rs 65,000. This limited edition added a touch of elegance with features like a rear spoiler and side body moulding. I believe these updates helped in keeping the model relevant until its discontinuation.
April 1, 2015
The Maruti Suzuki Ritz VDi was praised for its reliability and low maintenance costs. An owner review highlighted that after 6 years and 60,000 kilometers, the car had zero major issues, with maintenance costs approximating Rs 7,000. This speaks volumes about the cars durability and cost-effectiveness. I think this is a testament to Maruti Suzukis build quality and after-sales service.
October 20, 2012
The Ritz VDi came equipped with several key features such as power steering, central locking, and an immobilizer, making it a well-rounded package in its segment. It also boasted a spacious interior and good ground clearance, making it suitable for Indian road conditions. I believe these features contributed to its popularity among practical buyers.

The Maruti Suzuki Ritz VDi had a robust engine with 190 Nm of torque and 73 bhp of power, coupled with a 5-speed manual transmission. This combination provided a smooth driving experience and impressive fuel efficiency of 23.2 kmpl. I think the engine performance was one of the strong points of this vehicle.

Price

Pricing details and changes

When the Maruti Suzuki Ritz VDi was available in the market, its ex-showroom price in India varied depending on the location but generally fell in the range of around 5.5 to 6.5 lakhs. The on-road price, including taxes, registration, and other costs, would typically be around 6.5 to 7.5 lakhs. While the Ritz is no longer in production, these prices give an idea of its value in the used car market. For a used Ritz VDi, prices can range from 2.5 to 4.5 lakhs, depending on the condition, mileage, and year of the vehicle. This pricing makes the Ritz VDi a competitive option in the pre-owned segment.

I am new owner of Ritz VDi. This is an excellent car and probably the best in its class. Smooth pick up, turbo in every gear, great mileage, sturdily built, great road balance- absolutely flawless. The price is slightly high. It cost me about Rs.6.14 lakhs including the music system. The price is high and or this price Maruti should have included 1) Music system 2) Defroster in rear glass 3) Parking sensor 4) Airbags Then the car will be a complete value-buy.
