This is possibly the most shining part of the Tata Aeris. Its 10.25-inch touchscreen is larger than the Dzire's 9-inch unit, while the Tata also gets a 5-inch digital driver's display instead of analogue dials with an MID.

The Aeris also gets ventilated front seats, a Blind View Monitor and a dashcam recorder as part of its equipment list, none of which are offered on the Dzire. The Maruti does, however, offer an electric sunroof, which the Aeris does not.

Both cars get wireless smartphone connectivity, wireless charging, automatic climate control, rear AC vents, a 360-degree camera and six airbags as standard.

The Aeris has a lower starting price in both petrol and CNG forms. Its petrol range starts at Rs 5.29 lakh, which is Rs 1.01 lakh below the Dzire's Rs 6.30 lakh starting price. The Tata also has the lower maximum price for petrol, although its CNG range stretches slightly higher at the top end. However, do note that the Aeris is currently in its introductory pricing stage and will see a revision in a few months.

On paper, the Aeris brings a stronger equipment list, more power from its 1.2-litre engine and a larger petrol boot, while the Dzire is wider and offers a sunroof. The two cars otherwise share several fundamentals, including their sub-4-metre dimensions, 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engines and 5-speed manual and AMT transmissions.
