The new-gen Maruti Suzuki Dzire is built on the company's new HEARTECT platform, sharing its underpinnings with the upcoming new-gen Swift hatchback. The new platform has made the 2017 Dzire lighter, 105 kg lighter to be exact, and at the same time more rigid compared to the outgoing model. The car has also gone through dimensional changes as the new Dzire is now wider by 40 mm and comes with a 20 mm longer wheelbase in comparison to the current Dzire. As for the car's exterior styling and the cabin design, we have already explained them to you in our previous stories.
