Recently unveiled, the new model gets a range of new features over its predecessor and is now powered by the new three-cylinder Z-series engine that also powers the new Swift. The sedan also recently became the very first Maruti Suzuki product to receive five stars for adult occupant protection in Global NCAP crash tests.

On the powertrain front, the Dzire will be powered by the same Z-series 1.2-litre, three-cylinder engine as the Swift that produces 80.5 bhp and 112 Nm of torque. A CNG derivative of the Dzire will also be on offer. The car can be with either a 5-speed manual or a 5-speed AMT.
Upon its launch, the all-new Dzire will reignite its rivalry with the likes of the Hyundai Aura and Honda Amaze, which will also soon be due for a generational update.
