Maruti Suzuki has also tinkered with the car’s 800cc petrol engine to fit specially coated piston and ring set to reduce frictional losses. This combined with better torque delivery at lower RPMs has improved the updated model’s fuel efficiency by as much as 9 per cent from 22.74 km/l to 24.7 km/l. The other mechanical update is a new brake booster for more rapid deceleration.
