The new generation model of the upcoming Maruti Dzire has been spotted testing recently. This sub-4-m sedan has earned widespread acclaim in both private and commercial markets, consistently surpassing its hatchback counterpart in performance. The sustained demand underscores the sedan’s pivotal role for the manufacturer. Although the next-generation Swift has been revealed, speculation swirls around the fourth-generation Dzire, with no official confirmation forthcoming yet. But the fact that the vehicle is testing on the road confirms that the launch might just be around the corner.

This video comes from Harsh VLOGS on YouTube. The vlogger mentions that the video clip of the new Dzire testing in snow comes from The Race Monkey. It captures the camouflaged sedan with snow chains somewhere in the mountains. To test it in such extreme conditions is rather uncommon. We generally see hardcore off-roading SUVs being taken to such areas. Still, it is great to see Maruti doing its due diligence to test the performance of the new engine in all weather conditions. At the front, we witness an updated silhouette with a new bumper, headlamp and grille design.

Moving down the sides, one gets to watch the new design of the alloy wheels. The side profile resembles the existing Dzire for the most part. However, at the rear, there are new changes too. The bumper, taillamp cluster and boot designs have been tweaked a bit to set it apart from the existing model. There are barely any glimpses of the interior and cabin. Still, we can expect an updated layout with tons of modern-day amenities like a decent-sized touchscreen infotainment display and an electric sunroof. Maruti will ensure that all the latest features are offered in the new Dzire.

The biggest change will come under the hood. Maruti will depart from its iconic K-Series engine and will introduce a Z-Series engine with the new generation Swift and Dzire. In Japan, the Swift carries a 1.2-litre 3-cylinder (400-cc) strong hybrid mill which is able to generate around 35 km/l. However, due to cost constraints, we expect the mild hybrid version of the Z-Series (Z12) engine to make it to our shores. It could possess slightly lower power figures in comparison to the current model, but the focus will be on fuel efficiency. At present, the Dzire retails between Rs 6.57 lakh and Rs 9.39 lakh, ex-showroom. The facelift model could bear a slight premium over these prices.

Maruti Suzuki Dzire stands as a pinnacle in India’s automotive history, emerging as one of the most successful products. Since its inception in 2008, it has continuously enticed new buyers, achieving an impressive sales figure of over 25 lakh units. Its triumph stems from its broad appeal to both individual customers and commercial fleet operators, owing to factors such as economical running costs, exceptional mileage, diverse powertrain choices, and the reliability ensured by Maruti Suzuki’s extensive service and dealership network.
