The much-awaited compact sedan is inching closer to its market launch. Here’s everything we know so far
The new 2024 Maruti Dzire is fast nearing its market launch as several spy images already abound the web-space. I have reported the compact sedan in its latest generation avatar performing test runs across various parts of the country for a long time now. Apart from the spy media, we even have some digital illustrations that could be a close representative of the actual model. Here’s another such rendering of the new Dzire that highlights most of the changes the car will likely come with. Dzire has been an iconic name in the Indian automobile industry since 2008. We know that the 4th generation Swift was launched in our market a few months ago. Hence, the Dzire was also anticipated. For now, let us take a look at the details of the upcoming compact sedan.
New 2024 Maruti Dzire to Look More Premium
As is the case with the ongoing generation, the new model won’t look much like the corresponding generation of the Swift. In fact, in all probability, the new Dzire will bear completely different aesthetics in comparison to the hatchback sibling. At the front, we might see a colossal grille with horizontal slabs, flanked by sleek LED headlamp clusters on either side. In fact, non-OEM-spec headlamp units of the next-gen Dzire have already reached select aftermarket parts retailers. These first-copies reveal the sleek look the new vehicle will come with. Also, the new car will likely ride on 15-inch machine-cut wheels. The rear will likely feature connected LED taillamps to emphasise the width. It will also bring the styling package in line with the current trend. A major highlight will be the availability of a single-pane sunroof, as seen on many spy images so far.
Apart from that, there’s not much info on the interior. Still, in previous spottings, it is clear that the interior layout will also be slightly different than the Swift. The Dzire will have modern amenities and loads of standard safety features. Apart from that, it will get the new 1.2-litre naturally aspirated 3-pot mill which, in Swift, makes 82 PS and 112 Nm of peak power and torque. Buyers will be able to choose between either a 5-speed manual or an AMT gearbox. This new engine will be extremely fuel-efficient, something Maruti Suzuki car owners love. More details will emerge at the launch.
Our View
Maruti Dzire is the most popular compact sedan in the country. It finds application among private buyers, as well as fleet operators. That has resulted in the Dzire being one of the most sold vehicles in India ever. In the last few years, the competition has grown in this segment. Still, the Dzire has been able to hold its own. With this new generation avatar, people are bound to get drawn towards it even more. Let us keep an eye out for how well the customers embrace it.
