The new car market is evolving, and so is Maruti Suzuki’s new car lineup. The company was mocked for its bad safety rating and poor build quality. But now things have changed with the new Dzire. The latest 4th-generation Maruti Suzuki sedan has changed customers’ safety perspectives with its new safety rating and cutting-edge design language.
Can it still be the cab favourite? I would say “NO”. The brand has improved and offered some of the best features with impressive design, making it an ideal sedan for the core Maruti Suzuki lovers. The market is being pushed towards SUVs, though car enthusiasts still love to own sedans.
In the current market situation, sedan production has stalled, and only a few options are left, including the Honda Amaze, Tata Tigor, Hyundai Aura, and Maruti Suzuki Dzire, which fall under the 10 lakh rupees bracket. But it’s time for evolution and great cars. So, let’s check out what has changed in the Maruti Dzire.

The All-New Maruti Suzuki Dzire is here!
With bold looks outside and feature-loaded, it can be one of the best cars under 10 lakh in India. The car’s amazing pricing and features list hits the nerves of middle-class buyers by offering the best value for money. Here is a detail on what has changed.
New Design
Dzire was always the bigger version of the swift and people considered it that way only. However, Suzuki has worked on the car’s image and has made some major changes making it an all-new Dzire with no relation to Swift. The real essence of the car comes with its all-new headlamps and grill giving an Audi-like feel. With DRLs and fog lights, it has matched the modern-day design language.
Along with the new headlight, new tail lamps. The new alloy wheels add sparks to the design. The top-spec variant i.e., the ZXI or ZXI+ offers diamond-cut alloy wheels that were never seen in any Maruti Suzuki cars. Additionally, the size of the car has remained unchanged with a 3995 mm length and 1735 mm width. The thing that has changed is the height, which has increased by 10 mm.
New Features
As compared to the older version of the Swift Dzire, things have turned out to be great with the 4th generation. Now the car is equipped with a 9-inch infotainment system with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Luxury upholstery and a new design-color tone give a premium feel to the car. The fit and finish of the car have been great since the beginning and Maruti Suzuki has kept up with the mark of customer satisfaction here too.
The big step change is the single pane sunroof which is first in the segment. Indian customers are more focused on cosmetic features than just on performance and mileage. Considering which brand has worked. Along with this, the car comes with a 360-degree camera and a lot of power, and a charging port making it convenient for the passengers.
Safety Like Never Before
Maruti Suzuki cars have been mocked and used in memes for their bad build quality and low-quality steel used in the cars. But now the brand has worked on it and has improved and set a new benchmark standard for safety in their lineup. In the recent crash test of Dzire, it scored 5 stars making it one of the safest cars in Maruti Suzuki’s lineup. The only change that can be seen through the spec sheet was of increased weight, while apart from that what has changed is still a mystery and is a great mystery from the customer’s perspective.
Better Performance and Mileage
As compared to the older model the engine has changed from a 1.2L, 4-cylinder to a 1.2L, 3-cylinder engine. However, the power figure has dropped from the previous model. The new Dzire produces 82 bhp and 112 Nm of torque. But, it delivers the best-in-class mileage, which is 24.7 in Manual, 25.7 in AMT and 33.73Km/kg.
The mileage is great for a petrol car. People usually prefer to buy a diesel car even by paying 2-3 lakh additional for the same model. However, now Maruti Suzuki has changed the norms with its great engineering. Even the customer who wants a pure naturally aspirated petrol engine can enjoy great mileage and easy travelling.
Surprisingly Great Pricing
Maruti Suzuki has been providing great value-for-money cars since the beginning. This great quality of the manufacturer has helped it become the leading car manufacturer in India and sustain that title. Now even with the fourth generation, they have kept the pricing surprisingly affordable, making it a great sedan under a 10 lakh budget segment.
The price for the all-new Dzire starts at rupees 6,79 lakh ex-showroom, which goes up to 10.14 lakhs. As always, the car variants are divided as follows:
LXI- 6.79 Lakh
VXI- 7.79 Lakh (Manual), 8.24 Lakh (AMT) and 8.74 (CNG)
ZXI- 8.89 Lakh (Manual), 9.34 Lakh (AMT) and 9.84 Lakh (CNG)
ZXI+- 9.69 Lakh (Manual) and 10.14 Lakh (AMT)

Apart from offering the best in class features, new look, affordable pricing and extremely pocket-friendly mileage. The car still has something to amaze you. Maruti Suzuki has not left any stone unturned as it offers a great 7 colour options with the latest Dzire. The list includes Gallant Red, Alluring Blue, Nutmeg Brown, Magma Grey, Splendid Silver, Arctic White and Bluish Black.
