A Look Under the Hood: New 82hp Z-Series Engine

The 2024 Maruti Dzire will feature Maruti Suzuki’s newly developed 1.2-liter, three-cylinder Z Series petrol engine, producing 82hp and 112Nm of torque. Paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox as standard, the Dzire will also offer an automatic transmission option for petrol variants. For added versatility, a petrol-CNG option will be available, appealing to buyers seeking more fuel-efficient choices.

Refined and Sporty Exterior Design of New Dzire

Leaked images have given us a sneak peek at the Dzire’s refreshed design, marking a significant departure from the Swift-inspired look of previous models. The front showcases a bold, hexagonal grille bordered by sleek rectangular LED headlamps, complemented by a redesigned fog lamp housing and a stylish gloss black trim that connects the headlamps. At the rear, the sedan boasts Y-shaped LED elements in the tail lamps and a chrome strip running across the tailgate, providing a premium touch. Higher trims will feature diamond-cut alloy wheels with a unique petal-like design, enhancing the sedan’s sporty appeal.

Modernized Interior with New Features

Inside, the new Dzire shares several features with the latest Swift, including a 9-inch free-standing touchscreen and an updated steering wheel. However, the Dzire distinguishes itself with a unique color scheme for the dashboard and upholstery. Notably, spy shots suggest that the Dzire will introduce a segment-first electric sunroof, elevating the in-cabin experience and providing an edge in the competitive sedan market.

Competing Against Segment Rivals

Upon launch, the 2024 Maruti Dzire will continue its rivalry with popular subcompact sedans such as the Honda Amaze, which is also due for a generation update, the Hyundai Aura, and the Tata Tigor. The new features, design enhancements, and engine options in the Dzire aim to strengthen Maruti Suzuki’s position in this competitive segment, catering to modern-day demands of style, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
