New Maruti Dzire to look different from Swift

With the new Dzire, Maruti will be aiming to take the premium route, especially in terms of design. It will help give a unique identity to the compact sedan, which will look a lot different than the Swift hatchback. However, both models will have a lot in common under the skin.

Leaked images that surfaced earlier gave us some hint about the new Dzire’s design. It will feature an Audi-esque nose, a blacked-out horizontally slatted grille with some chrome elements, slim headlights with black bezels and a sportier-looking front bumper.

The diamond-cut alloy wheels will be different from the Swift; the all-new wraparound LED tail-lights will get stylish LED outlines and some body parts with more angular creases will further help it differentiate from its hatchback sibling.

New Maruti Dzire: expected features

In terms of feature, the new Dzire will get a sunroof and a few other creature comforts over the Swift. Though it will share a lot of its interior with the hatch, it will get lighter shades for the dashboard and upholstery for a premium feel. Features that will be carried over include a 9-inch free-standing touchscreen, automatic climate control and an analogue instrument cluster with a 4.2-inch digital MID. Unconfirmed reports suggest that the new Dzire could get ADAS – at least in the higher variants.

New Maruti Dzire: powertrain options

The new Dzire will use the Swift’s 1.2-litre, three-cylinder Z Series petrol engine. It will come with a petrol-CNG option as well. While the petrol variants will get an automatic gearbox option, the CNG-powered ones will come with a five-speed manual only, as per our sources.

Expect Maruti to commence bookings for the new Dzire in the coming weeks, with deliveries starting by around mid-November. Just like the current model, the new Dzire will take on the likes of the Hyundai Aura, Honda Amaze and Tata Tigor. The new Amaze is also due for a global debut in the coming months.
