Exterior
Not bad. Many people complian about the shape of bootlid but if we compare with Xcent and Amaze overall-Dzire is a winner over other all factors.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)
I have a VXi. It includes all features that are available with competitors in similar versions except Bluetooth & ABS, I feel that it can be added in VXI.Space is good for a family of 5 big fat people :). Driving comfort is good in city/highway. Only on Hills, Toyota wins the race in this segment. Dzire and Xcent almost the same on hills..Honda Amaze slightly better than Dzire and way better than Xcent. Interior material quality is reach, In its segment, interiors are premium class.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox
Engine performs well overall except on hills you feel sad that you are driving Dzire!
Fuel Economy is satisfying at 17kmpl on highway (With AC). Without AC it has given me 19+ as well at times. In city, you will be pleased to get the average of minimum 13,depends on the driving style.
Gearbox is smooth(Dzire 2015 model)
Ride Quality & Handling
Ride quality is good overall. Engine needs more torque, Handling is good.
Final Words
Nice family sedan car,Value for money and well its a time tested vehicle so FAITH is there
Areas of improvement
Maruti can add little more feature like Bluetooth,ABS in its Middle variants of petrol to compete easily with Amaze,Xcent and Etios. Engine performance on Hills is an issue to be fixed on priority
TIME TESTED VEHICLE, GOOD INTERIOR,SPACE, GOODFUEL ECONOMY FOR A PETROL SEDAN,BOOT SPACE NOT BADFRONT CHROME IS MEANINGLESS,DRIVING COMFORT ON HILLS,ENGINE NEED TO BE TUNED FOR CLIMBING HILLS EASY
