Switch on the ignition, open the throttle, the 1.2L K12M make a happy, low-pitched hum and it’s very smooth. Splash might be the extremely quieted in this class. The engine is barely audible and i have to check often whether the ignition is switched on. Even though the motor displaces lesser than the swift, the power on tap is sufficient to pull through the motorway and even the mountains of Vizagpatnam.

Switch on the ignition, open the throttle, the 1.2L K12M make a happy, low-pitched hum and it’s very smooth. Splash might be the extremely quieted in this class. The engine is barely audible and i have to check often whether the ignition is switched on. Even though the motor displaces lesser than the swift, the power on tap is sufficient to pull through the motorway and even the mountains of Vizagpatnam. The gentler driving is ensured across all speeds. But it need few rev to bring the engine to life and to accelerate seriously the accelerator must be firmly depressed. The light clutch is effortless to use and the standard five-speed manual makes smooth, slick changes.
Under the bonnet, engine choices comprise 85bhp,1.2-litre petrol or 75PS 1.3L diesel units. The diesel is the most familiar one which already powers a long list of cars – swift, swift Dzire, Fiat Palio,Fiat Linea and Tata Indica Vista and much more in the days to come. However the petrol is very new to India and is part of Suzuki’s advance K-series engine. Like its sibling, the K10B engine which is used in A-star, plastic parts have been extensively used in the K12M engine to reduce the weight. K12M engine is a light weight unit with rocker-less DOHC cam shaft, plastic intake manifold and Smart Distributor Less Ignition (SDLI) system. A 5-speed manual transmission is standard for both the engines. Maruti Suzuki sees very little market for automatic hence no autobox in India though the european splash comes with an automatic transmission. Maruti says that the gear ratios have been optimized for the Ritz to match Indian driving conditions and to offer best driveability.
Coming the 1.3L diesel wonder, this Multijet time and again proves that why its an award winner. The sudden rush of acceleration once you move past 2000rpm gives you the liveliest drive. The oil-burner is impeccable mid-range punch makes you feel more energetic on the road, and you can overtake with confidence. However, Ritz petrol scores over the diesel in performance, it reaches 100kmph in 14 seconds compared to 15s for diesel. Though our test drive landscape did not allowed us to test the top speed, we managed to push the Ritz petrol to 140kmph and diesel to 130kmph.While the K12M engine is by default complies BS IV, Maruti has modified the diesel engine configuration to meet the forthcoming BS-IV emission norms. Maruti Ritz Review will be the first passenger car in India to be compliant with the BS IV emission norms, in petrol as well as diesel variants. As per the CMVR (Central Motor Vehicle Rules) , Ritz petrol delivers a mileage of 17.7 kmpl and Ritz diesel an impressive 21.1 kmpl. These figures are taken under standard conditions and the real figure would be lower than this. However we expect a impressive fuel efficiency from both these motors.
