- To get sunroof, 360-degree surround camera, and more
- Likely to be launched next month
Ahead of any official announcement, the new generation Maruti Suzuki Dzire has been leaked on the web, revealing its complete exterior and interior. The next generation of the Dzire will be based on the new Swift and will offer plenty of new features and drastically different exterior styling than the latter.
On the outside, the new Dzire will get a revised fascia with a vertically stacked massive grille flanked by sleek headlamps on either side. The DRLs are housed inside the headlamp clusters with fog lamps being placed on the bumper.
Other design highlights include a new set of alloy wheels, sharp crease running across the door panels, camera mounted underneath the body-coloured ORVMs, shark-fin antenna, completely redesigned taillamps with black inserts, and a first-in-segment electrically adjustable sunroof.
On the inside, the cabin will host plenty of similarities with the Swift hatchback. It will feature a free-standing infotainment screen, multi-layered dashboard, auto climate control, flat bottom three-spoke steering wheel, semi-digital instrument panel, Type C charging port along with standard USB, manual handbrake, cruise control, and rear AC vents.
Mechanically, the new Dzire will make use of the brand’s new 1.2-litre Z-series three-cylinder petrol engine mated to a five-speed manual or an AMT gearbox. This new powertrain was introduced with the recently launched Maruti Suzuki Swift.
Upon its launch, the next-gen Dzire will continue its rivalry with the Tata Tigor, Honda Amaze, and the Hyundai Aura in the compact sedan segment in India.
