Maruti Suzuki is the largest selling automaker in India, but the company is yet to taste success on products, which have a price tag in excess Rs 8-9 lakhs. The Baleno, the Grand Vitara and even the Kizashi haven’t done any numbers for the company.

The SX4 has begun its Indian innings with a good set of sales numbers, but soon this number declined. The diesel model had also ignited some amount of fire, accelerating the sales, but now it seems that the sales of this sedan have taken a hit. With only 314 units sold in a month, Maruti Suzuki could look into replacing this model. The facelift version of the SX4 had been introduced a few months ago. However, it seems that this hasn’t made the sales ball to roll. We can expect a new SX4 to hit the Indian roads sometime next year.
