Maruti Suzuki is gearing up to launch the next-generation Dzire in the latter part of 2024, following closely on the heels of the upcoming Swift’s debut next month. This launch is poised to redefine the compact sedan segment, aiming to solidify the Dzire’s position as a market leader.
Redefined Exterior
The 2024 Maruti Suzuki Dzire promises a bold and aggressive aesthetic, with a larger grille and sophisticated LED headlamp units designed for enhanced visibility and a contemporary look. The vehicle will also boast a new design of alloy wheels and distinctively styled front and rear bumpers, differentiating it from its Swift counterpart. Reports indicate that connected LED taillights will add a modern touch to the rear.
Luxurious Interior and Advanced Features
Inside, the 2024 Dzire aims to offer a more upscale and comfortable cabin, featuring a new dual-tone color scheme of beige and black. A highlight of the interior is the 9-inch floating touchscreen interface with wireless smartphone connectivity, borrowed from the Baleno. Safety features include ABS with EBD, ESP, traction control, up to six airbags, and a 360-degree camera system. Some models may even offer a sunroof for added luxury.
Enhanced Powertrain
Both the upcoming Swift and Dzire models are expected to feature a mild-hybrid system within the petrol engine. This system is anticipated to provide a slight power boost to 90 PS at 6000 rpm and maintain a torque of 113 Nm at 4400 rpm. These updates aim to enhance the vehicle’s responsiveness and deliver a smoother driving experience, ensuring the Dzire remains competitive in its segment.
Launch and Pricing
The new Dzire is slated for release in the second half of the year, with pricing ranging between Rs. 7.00 lakh and Rs. 10.00 lakh (ex-showroom). This pricing reflects a moderate increase due to the upgrades and new features, including options for both petrol and CNG variants.
Market Competition
Competing against rivals like the Hyundai Aura, Tata Tigor, and Honda Amaze, the Dzire 2024 seeks to merge cost-efficiency with modern features. Maruti Suzuki aims to sustain its attractiveness and market share in the competitive compact sedan segment by offering a compelling blend of style, technology, and affordability.
