Maruti Suzuki Unveils All-New DZire

Update 16th May 2017 - Maruti Dzire 2017 Launched! Prices start at Rs 5.45 lakh!

Maruti Suzuki has finally unveiled the all-new DZire today. And contrary to media reports, the DZire continues to remain this side of the four-meter overall length. However, Maruti Suzuki has managed to improve the interior space as the sedan has tweaked dimensions. The all-new Maruti Suzuki DZire gets a hexagonal front grille with a healthy dose of chrome, new headlamps with DRLs, new wheels and looks completely different from the current sedan. The all-new DZire will be launched on 16 May 2017 and should remain competitive in terms of pricing.

In term of dimensions, the all-new DZire is 3995mm long, 1515mm tall, 1735mm wide and has a wheelbase of 2450mm. These dimensions make the new sedan same in length, 40mm wider, 40mm shorter in height and 20mm longer in wheelbase. The new DZire sits lower to the ground, ground clearance has gone down by 7mm to 163mm. The boot space is also up by 60-litres and is now 376-litres. 

On the outside, the DZire gets LED projector headlamps with LED DRLs. The new hexagonal front grille is inspired from the new-generation Swift and gives the DZire an all-new look. At the rear too, the taillamps get the LED treatment with LED light guides. At the side, the new DZire gets smooth flowing lines and the overall shape of the sedan is curvy, unlike the boxy shape of the current one.

Inside, the Sedan gets all new interiors. The highlight though is the new three-spoke, flat-bottom steering wheels with mounted controls and the 7-inch touchscreen display in the centre which features Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The black-beige interior theme is carried forward with leather upholstery, and so is the fake wooden finish on the dashboard. 

The diesel and petrol engines have been carried forward from the current sedan. Though the transmission options are a little different. The 1.2-litre petrol engine gets a 5-speed manual and an AMT transmission, in place of the 4-speed auto from before. The 1.3-litre diesel will be available with either a 5-speed manual or a 5-speed AMT (same as before). Also, the weight of the sedan has been reduced from before. The petrol powered sedan weighs 85kg less than before and the diesel Dzire is 105Kg lighter. In terms of safety, the new DZire gets dual front airbags and ABS is standard.
