New Maruti Suzuki Dzire Spied On Test Ahead Of Festive Season Launch

The upcoming Maruti Suzuki Dzire has been spied testing yet again ahead of its launch this festive season. While heavily camouflaged, the photos reveal a few design details of the sedan. The photos hint at the new Dzire sporting several new styling cues to differentiate it from the Swift hatchback it is based on.

The Swift Dzire is expected to get new styling cues such as rectangular headlamps and a new grille

The test mule in the images sported new headlights which appear to be rectangular in shape, with DRLs positioned towards the lower end of the units. The grille on the car also looks different from the Swift hatchback, along with the front bumper with redesigned fog lamp units on either end. It is also expected to feature new alloy wheels over the hatchback. The silhouette of the sub-four-metre sedan, however, appears to be quite similar to its predecessor. Older spy shots of the car have also shown the car testing with a sunroof, which will likely be part of the sedan’s equipment list.

While the sedan’s interior hasn’t been spied to date, it is expected to have the same layout as the hatchback, with a 9-inch SmartPlay Pro+ infotainment system that comes with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Other features that could be offered with the vehicle include rear AC vents, cruise control, keyless entry, and 6 airbags.

The Dzire is likely to feature the same engine as the Swift

On the powertrain front, the Dzire is likely to retain the same engine as the standard Swift which is solely offered with a 1197 cc, three-cylinder engine that churns out 80.5 bhp and 112 Nm. Transmission options are also likely to be the same- a 5-speed manual gearbox and a 5-speed AMT. However, similar to the Swift, the Dzire is also expected to be offered with a CNG derivative of the same engine later.
