Maruti Suzuki is set to unveil the all-new Dzire compact sedan in India, with the official price announcement scheduled for November 11. The updated model aims to establish a more premium identity in the competitive compact sedan market, distinguishing itself from its sibling, the Swift hatchback.
While both vehicles share several mechanical components, the Dzire will feature a fresh design that enhances its aesthetic appeal. Recent leaks indicate that the new Dzire will boast a sophisticated front fascia, characterized by a stylish black grille with chrome highlights and sleek headlights. Additionally, a sportier front bumper is expected to give the sedan a more dynamic presence on the road.
The upcoming Maruti Suzuki Dzire is set to stand out with its bold design elements, which include unique diamond-cut alloy wheels and eye-catching wraparound LED tail-lights featuring stylish outlines. The compact sedan will showcase more angular body creases, enhancing its sporty profile and distinguishing it from its hatchback counterpart, the Swift.

Inside, the Dzire promises an upgraded experience with features like a sunroof and improved comfort options. While it shares a similar layout with the Swift, the Dzire will introduce lighter dashboard and upholstery colors to create a more upscale feel. Key features such as a 9-inch free-standing touchscreen, automatic climate control, and an analogue instrument cluster with a 4.2-inch digital multi-information display will be retained. Additionally, there are reports that the higher variants may include advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), further boosting the sedan's competitive edge in the market.
The all-new Maruti Suzuki Dzire will be powered by the same 1.2 litre, three-cylinder Z series petrol engine found in the Swift. In addition to the standard petrol variant, the Dzire will also offer a petrol-CNG option, catering to a wider range of customer preferences.
For the petrol models, an automatic gearbox will be available, enhancing driving convenience. However, the CNG variants will feature a five-speed manual transmission exclusively, focusing on practicality and efficiency. This engine lineup aims to provide a balance of performance and fuel economy for the compact sedan segment.
