Maruti Dzire : The Maruti Suzuki Dzire is one of the most reliable and trusted names in the realm of compact sedans in India.
The Dzire is an ideal match for individuals looking for a family vehicle that is durable, frugal and simple to own and drive on everyday commutes and weekend trips.
The third iteration of the Dzire is an all-new car and while it has grown in terms of design and features, it maintains its old-school image: simple, affordable and frugal.
Design: Simple Yet Elegant
The Dzire is neither here nor there, looks-wise. With its broad front grille, swept-back headlamps, and goodish proportions, it doesn’t pretend to be glitzy — or scream for attention, for that matter.
A touch of class is added on some trims with subtle chrome touches and alloy wheels.
Being small, the sedan is also easy to pilot in city traffic, and the boot is well integrated into the body, avoiding the ‘boot-stuck-on-a-hatchback’ look that so defines earlier sub-4m sedans.
Interior and Comfort
On the inside, the Dzire has a likeable, uncluttered design and good overall space utilization.
The two-tone dashboard, wooden finish inserts in top models and flat-bottom steering wheel, lends it a bit of class.
The build quality is fine, and while none of the materials used are premium, they are hard-wearing and put together well.
Some key features include:
7-inch infotainment touchscreen with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay
Your music will be at your fingertips with our audio controls on the steering wheel.
Automatic climate control
Push-button starting and keyless entry
AC vents behind tront cannot be adjusted and less room for rear-seat passengers.
Boot, with 378 litres, is also perfectly adequate for everyday shopping and a small family’s weekend away. Rear seat comfort is a strong point, with plenty of space and padding for two adults.
Performance and Mileage
The Dzire is offered with a 1.2-litre DualJet petrol engine that outputs 90 PS and 113 Nm. It comes mated with a 5-speed manual and a 5-speed AMT (automatic).
The engine is very, very smooth, and very polished, and it’s responsive, especially at city speeds. It’s not a performance car, but it does what you need, and it does it well.
Its fuel economy, though, is what’s particularly noteworthy. The Dzire is still one of the most fuel-efficient sedans in the country with an ARAI-certified fuel economy of 22-24 km/l depending on the version you opt for.
Toss the light steering and tight turning radius on top and it’s a hoot to maneuver around town.
Safety and Build
From safety point of view, the Dzire is equipped with:
Twin airbags (standard), 4–6 airbags(other trims)
ABS with EBD and brake assist
Hill-start (AMT variant only)
Rear view camera and parking sensors
ISOFIX child seat mounts
The Dzire’s Global NCAP safety score’s average, though. It’s stable on a structural level for routine use, but safety-minded buyers might want to seek out truck-based models for a stronger, dedicated frame to mount accessories.

Maruti Dzire: Conclusion
The Maruti Suzuki Dzire isn’t the most fun car in the world, and doesn’t need to be. Because all most Indian families want are comfort, mileage and low cost of ownership.
It’s a practical sedan that has the sales numbers to show for it since it continues to top its class in large part thanks to pragmatism and “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” mentality towards branding.
For those looking for a dependable, frugal and roomy family car, the Dzire is still one of the sure shots.
