Maruti Suzuki has launched an updated version of the Dzire compact sedan for the Indian car market at Rs 5.89 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). There are now four manual variants and three automatic variants (AGS) as well as two new colours on offer.
The most significant exterior update is a new face. This comprises a new grille, silver accents for the fog lamp housing as well as a new design for the two-tone diamond cut alloy wheels. Inside, you get the same beige and black cabin with wood accents on the dashboard. New to the car is Maruti Suzuki’s SmartPlay infotainment system with cloud based services and multiple modes of smart phone connectivity like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
The engine on offer is Maruti Suzuki’s BS6 compliant 1.2-litre Dual Jet VVT unit producing 89bhp/113Nm. This engine can be had with a five-speed manual or a five-speed automated manual transmission. All versions of the car get dual front airbags, bigger brakes and ABS with EBD.
The Dzire is a rival to the likes of the Hyundai Aura, Honda Amaze as well as cars like the Hyundai Elite i20, Maruti Suzuki Baleno and the Honda Jazz.
