The Maruti Suzuki Dzire has the bestselling model in the subcompact segment in India. The Maruti Suzuki Dzire comes with only one petrol engine on offer which is a 1.2-litre, four-cylinder dual VVT engine mated to either a five-speed manual or an AMT unit. It's almost at par with its rivals in terms of features and is priced between Rs. 5.98 lakh to Rs. 9.03 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). Here are the top five rivals of the Maruti Suzuki Dzire in India.

Hyundai Aura

The Hyundai Aura is offered with three engine options.

The Hyundai Aura is one of the popular subcompact sedans in India right now, and it's priced between Rs. 5.98 lakh to Rs. 9.31 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). It's the new-generation version of the Xcent. The car is offered in three engine options - 1.2 petrol, 1.0 turbo petrol and 1.2-litre diesel engine, while transmission choices include a 5-speed manual and a 5-speed AMT. The former petrol motor also gets a CNG variant in India.

The Honda Amaze is one of the most comfortable and practical subcompact sedans in India. Honda offers 1.2-litre petrol and a 1.5-litre diesel engine mated to a 5-speed manual or a CVT automatic. In fact, it's the first and only diesel CVT model in this space. The car is priced from Rs. 6.22 lakh to Rs. 9.99 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).

Ford Aspire

The Aspire gets a bunch of creature comforts and is offered with a 1.2-litre petrol and a 1.5-litre diesel engine

The Ford Aspire outperforms other models in the subcompact sedan segment when it comes to dynamics and performance.

It's only offered in the higher-spec Titanium and Titanium+ trims so it's priced a little higher at Rs. 7.27 lakh to Rs. 8.72 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).

Tata Tigor

The Tigor comes with a 1.2-litre petrol engine mated to a 5-speed manual and an optional AMT unit.

Hyundai Xcent Prime

The commercial version of the car, Hyundai Xcent Prime, which is sold in fleet segment, continues to be on sale
