Maruti Suzuki Dzire: Exteriors
Maruti Suzuki has ensured that there’s no resemblance between the Dzire and the Swift even though it is based on the hatchback. The sedan has an aggressive new front grille with bold horizontal slats with a piano black panel housing the ‘S’ logo. The new angular LED headlights resemble crystals and for better illumination, it also has LED fog lamps. The side profile has some resemblance to the outgoing model with a set of new dual-tone 15-inch alloy wheels. The rear sports a low-profile spoiler with a chrome strip connecting the new Y-shaped LED tail lamps.
Maruti Suzuki Dzire: Competition
The new Dzire squares off against the Hyundai Aura and the Tata Tigor. The former is priced from Rs 6.49 lakh to Rs 9.05 lakh while the latter costs from Rs 6 lakh to Rs 9.40 lakh, ex-showroom. The compact sedan segment will heat up further as Honda will launch on the all-new Amaze on December 4. Will the new launches revive the sedan segment? Only time will tell.
