Maruti Suzuki introduced the fourth-generation Maruti Dzire in India, with starting costs of Rs 6.79 lakh for the entry-level model and Rs 10.14 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi) at the high end. There are four trim levels: LXi, VXi, ZXi, and ZXi+. The mid-spec VXi and ZXi trims come with CNG.
New Maruti Dzire: Exterior
The new Dzire has a 2,450mm wheelbase, 163mm ground clearance, and dimensions of 3,995mm long by 1,735mm wide by 1,525mm high. Its dimensions are the same as those of the departing Dzire, except for a 10mm height increase. Notably, the design is entirely different from the outgoing model and has no visual similarities to the Swift, in contrast to the models from the previous generation.
The new Dzire has a flat canopy up front with faint folds at each corner. It has sleek “Crystal Vision” headlamps with blacked-out surrounds reminiscent of Audi. The hexagonal grille is more prominent, with five horizontal slats and a piano black finish on the topmost panel with a chrome strip. More curved features are added to the doors and fenders in profile, and the alloy wheel design is also new; higher types have a diamond-cut pattern.
The new Dzire has a square tail lamp design with “3D Trinity LED elements” at the back. With the exception of some new sculpting on the lower portion of the bumper, the boot lid and bumper design are comparable to the previous one.
New Maruti Dzire: Interior
The Swift hatchback’s overall design is similar, but instead of Swift’s black and silver colour scheme, it has a variety of colours and textures. In contrast to the dashboard’s dark brown, faux wood, and silver trimmings, the upholstery is done in beige. It has the same 9-inch Smartplay Pro Plus unit as many other Marutis and linked car capabilities, wireless Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto connectivity.
Higher models are now available with a factory-installed single-pane sunroof, a first for the Dzire and the small sedan market. The new Dzire also has a 360-degree camera, rear AC vents, a rear center armrest, and cruise control.

New Maruti Dzire: Powertrain
The new Dzire is powered by the 1.2-liter three-cylinder Z12E petrol engine, which produces 82 horsepower and 112 Nm and has an idle start/stop function. There are two gearbox options: a 5-speed AMT and a 5-speed manual. The engine generates 101.8 Nm and 69.75 horsepower on CNG.
New Maruti Dzire: Safety Rating
GNCAP has awarded the new Maruti Dzire a 4-star safety rating for child occupant protection (COP) and a remarkable 5-star grade for adult occupant protection (AOP). For this reason, it becomes the first Maruti to receive a 5-star rating from Global NCAP. Six airbags, ESP, hill hold assist, ABS with EBD, brake assist, three-point seat belts for every seat, and ISOFIX mounts are among the safety features of the new Dzire.
