The sub-compact sedan market in India is primarily led by the Maruti Suzuki Dzire. This model has recently undergone a generational transformation, introducing the fourth generation of the sub-compact sedan. The latest iteration features a markedly refreshed design, an array of new features, and an entirely new powertrain. With the introduction of the new Dzire, Maruti Suzuki aims to enhance its competitive stance against key rivals in the segment, which include the Hyundai Aura and Tata Tigor.

The Maruti Suzuki Dzire is equipped with the same powertrain as the fourth-generation Maruti Suzuki Swift, which was unveiled earlier this year, also showcasing numerous updates in terms of exterior, interior, and mechanical aspects. Both the new Swift and Dzire are powered by a 1.2-litre three-cylinder petrol engine, marking a shift from the previous generation's 1.2-litre four-cylinder engine.

While a comparison has already been made between the 2024 Maruti Suzuki Dzire and the 2024 Honda Amaze, this analysis will focus on comparing the Dzire, Aura, and Tigor based on their engine specifications, transmission options, and overall specifications of these three sub-compact sedans.

2024 Comparison of Maruti Suzuki Dzire, Hyundai Aura, and Tata Tigor: Specifications Overview

The new Dzire sedan is equipped with the same 1.2-litre three-cylinder Z series petrol engine found in the current generation of the Maruti Suzuki Swift. This engine offers various transmission options, including a CNG powertrain that integrates a factory-fitted CNG kit. It generates a peak power of 80 bhp at 5,700 rpm and delivers a maximum torque of 112 Nm at 4,300 rpm.

In contrast, the Hyundai Aura is powered by a 1.2-litre Kappa dual VTVT petrol engine, which also has a petrol-CNG variant available. This engine can be paired with a five-speed manual transmission or an automated manual transmission (AMT). It produces a peak power of 81 bhp at 6,000 rpm and a maximum torque of 113.8 Nm at 8,000 rpm.

Similarly, the Tata Tigor, like the 2024 Maruti Suzuki Dzire, is powered by a 1.2-litre three-cylinder petrol engine, which can be coupled with either a five-speed manual or an automated manual transmission. In its petrol variants, this engine generates 85 bhp and 113 Nm of torque, while the CNG variants yield 72 bhp and 95 Nm of torque.
