The Maruti Suzuki Dzire has been the best-selling compact sedan in India ever since its launch in 2008.
In 2021, Maruti introduced a facelifted version of the third generation Dzire with updated styling and new features.
Available with 1.2L petrol and 1.3L diesel engines, the Dzire facelift aims to maintain its leadership position against the Honda Amaze and Hyundai Aura.
Structurally the Dzire remains unchanged and continues to be underpinned by the HEARTECT platform first introduced in 2017.
The facelift is slightly heavier by about 15-20 kg. Fit and finish levels are decent but inconsistent panel gaps still remain an issue, especially around the boot.
The paint quality shows good consistency though. Overall build quality has improved over the years but still not segment best.
Visually the updated Dzire gets a heavier makeover at the front. The grille is wider and gets chrome embellishments. The headlamps are also reshaped with integrated LED DRLs strip.
