Maruti Suzuki Dzire

Overview

Today, where buyers are increasingly seeking towards owning bigger vehicles like SUVs or compact SUVs, the desire to get behind a sub-4 meter sedan has seen a noticeable dip. But despite the increased competition from compact SUVs which fall under similar price range, the Maruti Suzuki Dzire continues to be a volume driver for the Japanese carmaker and with the next-generation model, its demand has only augmented. Reason? Its overall practicality in terms of low running costs, hassle free after sales, improved design and interior space along with host of new features. The new Dzire has beaten the bestselling Maruti Suzuki Alto for three consecutive months (Aug-Oct 2017) with sales crossing the 34,000 mark in September!

Exterior

The all new Dzire is made on the fresh Heartect platform. The car has grown in dimensions compared to its predecessor and now looks a more proportionate car then before. At the front, the Dzire features a large hexagonal grille with a chrome border and auto projector headlamps with LED DRLs that are sweptback like the older version. The car is bestowed with new clamshell bonnet and circular foglamps with L-shaped chrome inserts. On the side, the Dzire rides on 15-inch 16-spoke precision cut alloy wheels (Z+ trim), that cleverly manages to fill the slightly beefed up wheel arches. Its L and V variants are adorned with 165/80 R14 tyres. The ORVMs are electrically foldable and gets integrated turn indicators. With stubby rear bumper, new set of tail lights and LED DRLs, the car looks pleasing to the eyes even from the rear.

Interiors

Just like the outside, the cabin also takes a leap forward. The improved quality and design is noticeable as soon as you step in. Its dual-tone dashboard enhances the cabin appeal while the black and beige combination seems quite familiar as we saw in the Ignis. Seats are very supportive and comfy, it feels more softer than before. Headroom is lower than before that could have been improved for better seating position. The engineers have also ironed-out the pain point of the Dzire – cramped rear cabin. The rear legroom and shoulder room has increased adequately.

Apart from this, the car retains the whole bunch of features such as multi information display, rear AC vents, push start/stop with smart key, reverse camera and automatic climate control.
On the outside, the Dzire lives up to its identity with features such as auto projector headlamps, LED DRLs, and electronically adjustable and foldable outside mirrors.

Safety and Security

Manufactured with the new Heartect platform that contains 36% high tensile steel, the chassis of Dzire is safer than before. Maruti claims that Dzire fulfills all the standard crash tests norms set by the government. The company has gone up an extra mile in offering ABS with EBD and dual airbags as standard on all the variants – a standard it is following with all its new cars.

Things We Like

  • Suspension offers a comfortable ride and neutral on-road performance
  • Dual airbags, ABS and child seat mounts are standard in all the variants

Things We Don’t Like

  • AMT though worked on, didn’t match conventional ATs on speed and smoothness. Car still gets jerky
  • Ground clearance reduced to 163mm and smaller 37L fuel tank raise concerns.
  • The waiting period is very long currently, stretching up to three months.
