Maruti has launched the new Swift Dzire Tour in India. The second-gen Dzire tour is based on the outgoing Swift Dzire compact sedan. Interestingly, Maruti has done away with the 'Swift Dzire Tour' name and is referring to the car as 'Dzire Tour', which means the next-gen Dzire may follow a similar naming style.
As reported by us a few days ago, the new Dzire Tour comes with a choice of petrol and diesel engines mated to a five-speed gearbox. The petrol variant is priced at Rs 5.24 lakh, while the diesel variant costs Rs 5.99 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). Multiple paint shade options are also being offered, a first for the car. Maruti is also likely to launch a CNG variant in the near future.
The new Dzire Tour, being a stripped-down version of the standard car, gets a black plastic grille with no chrome bits, silver steel wheels and black plastic mirrors. On the inside, the Dzire Tour, for the first time, gets dual-tone interiors with subtle faux wood trim. It comes with manual AC and power windows but no music system.
The Dzire Tour takes on the likes of the cab-versions of the Tata Zest and also the newly introduced Hyundai Xcent Prime. The all-new Maruti Swift Dzire will be unveiled next week. Read our first look report here.
