The mighty popular compact sedan is about to make its entrance into our market and the uncamouflaged spy images have already been leaked
In this post, I shall take the opportunity to compare the next-gen 2024 Maruti Dzire with the outgoing model. The launch of the new Dzire is nearing as the spy images of the car without any camouflage were leaked recently. That gave us a chance to experience the aesthetics in full glory. We know that Dzire borrows design, features and powertrains from the regular Swift. But things will change this time around in terms of the exterior styling. Let us delve into the details of this latest case.
Next-gen 2024 Maruti Dzire vs Outgoing Model
We know what the soon-to-be outgoing model looks like. But the new Dzire will be a huge departure from that. At the front, it will get sleek headlamps with a large grille with horizontal slabs. That will lend the front fascia an entirely new appearance. In fact, the front profile looks much sportier. On the sides, there are elegant two-tone alloy wheels with sturdy side body cladding. Apart from that, the chrome belt around the window is a nice touch. It will also get a sunroof and a redesigned tail section. These details come from the spy images leaked online a few days ago. In comparison, the old model bears slightly round edges, particularly at the front.
In terms of powertrains, the old model uses the 1.2-litre 4-cylinder K-Series petrol mill while the next-gen 2024 Maruti Dzire will borrow the mill from the new Swift. Hence, it will get the 1.2-litre 3-cylinder Z12E naturally aspirated petrol engine which makes 82 PS and 112 Nm of peak power and torque in the Swift. Also, performing the transmission duties will be a 5-speed manual or a 5-speed AMT. Even with the Dzire, these will most likely be the same. What will be impressive is the mileage. In Swift, the mileage figures are 24.8 km/l (MT) and 25.75 km/l (AMT). Furthermore, even the CNG version might be available since the Swift also comes with it. Finally, the features list will be more extensive in comparison to the outgoing trim. Hence, the new Dzire will be more desirable in every department.
Features
On the inside, the changes will be significant in comparison to the outgoing model. Needless to say, the new Dzire will borrow most of its elements from the new Swift. In fact, in some leaked videos, a lot of details emerged. It will bear a modern layout with a plenty of modern equipment. The main highlights include:
- Large Touchscreen Infotainment Display
