The fourth-generation Maruti Suzuki Dzire sedan was launched in India on Monday at a starting price of ₹6.79 lakh. The top variant of 2024 Dzire is priced at ₹10.14 lakh while there are also two CNG variants which start at ₹8.74 lakh (introductory and ex-showroom). The 2024 Maruti Dzire gets a makeover with all-new styling inside out and also boasts an updated feature list in the cabin. The updated Dzire, complete with a new engine, will continue to rival its old mates including the Honda Amaze and the Hyundai Aura.

First launched in 2008, the Maruti Dzire - Swift Dzire at the time - was the first sub-compact sedan in the Indian market. It quickly gained popularity due to its practicality of a dedicated boot space. But while past updates to the model were made, the fourth-generation Maruti Suzuki Dzire may be its biggest makeover yet.

A big feather in Maruti Suzuki Dzire's cap is that the latest version of the vehicle also scored five stars in the Global NCAP crash tests. The 2024 Dzire is now the first and only Maruti model to get a perfect score in these tests.

What are the design changes on the 2024 Maruti Suzuki Dzire?

The exterior of the 2024 Dzire has an entirely new design and styling element which is, for the first time ever, completely different from the Swift hatchback. The fascia gets newer, sleeker and more rectangular LED headlamps, an updated bumper and an all-new grille with a thin chrome strip holding the Suzuki logo at the centre. The rear also gets a redesigned bumper, the tail lamps are also newly designed and the chrome strip at the rear has been reshaped to make space for the tail lamp. The LED tailights are completely new while there is a lip spoiler on top of the trunk and a shark-fin antenna makes its debut on the model. The Dzire largely retains its dimensions but does manage to benefit from a new alloy design on the 15-inch wheels.

What is the powertrain and mileage of the 2024 Maruti Suzuki Dzire?

The new Dzire uses the same engine that made its debut earlier in the Maruti Suzuki Swift. In the Dzire, this 1.2-litre, three-cylinder Z-Series petrol engine is tuned to churn out 80 bhp at 5,700 rpm and 112 Nm of torque at 4,300 rpm. Transmission options include a 5-speed manual transmission and an AMT. There will also be a CNG fuel option available right from the start with just VXi and ZXi variants paired to a manual gearbox.

What new features does the 2024 Maruti Suzuki Dzire get?

The interior of the Dzire gets a revamp as well in terms of design but gets a similar dual-tone black and beige theme as before. The new dashboard borrows a lot from the currently available Swift including the instrument cluster as well as the air-conditioning controls. The top-spec variants of the Dzire get leather upholstery and there is a new 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto on offer. Additionally, catering to the popular trends of the market the carmaker has also included a sunroof to the Dzire on certain models. Other features include automatic climate control, rear AC vents, a rear armrest with cup-holders, dual charging ports at the rear, a wireless charger at the front and a 360-degree camera system.
