New Maruti Dzire Debuting Next Month, More Features Than Swift
The upcoming third-generation Maruti Dzire is set to bring a host of updates, including unique styling elements and enhanced features compared to its predecessor, the Swift. Expected to hit the Indian market in the second half of 2024, the new Dzire promises to deliver a refreshing driving experience coupled with modern aesthetics and advanced technology.
New Maruti Dzire Styling Updates
The new Maruti Dzire will showcase evolutionary styling updates. These updates will not only enhance the car’s visual appeal but also align it with contemporary design trends. Expect revised bumpers, updated LED headlights, and taillights with distinctive DRL signatures, creating a harmonious blend of sophistication and sportiness in the exterior design. These enhancements will make the Dzire stand out on Indian roads, attracting attention with its modern and dynamic appearance.
Segment-First Features
One of the key highlights of the upcoming Dzire is its inclusion of segment-first features. The interior will be revamped to offer a more premium feel, with emphasis on comfort, convenience, and connectivity. The new Dzire is likely to come equipped with a 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system and wireless phone charging, enhancing convenience and connectivity. From advanced infotainment systems to intuitive driver-assist technologies, the Dzire is poised to redefine the compact sedan segment in India.

New Z Series Engine
Powering the new Maruti Dzire will be the Z Series engine, replacing the existing K Series powertrain. This new engine variant is engineered for optimal performance, fuel efficiency, and reduced emissions. Drivers can expect a smooth and responsive driving experience, whether navigating city streets or cruising on highways.
Additionally, the new Dzire will be based on a heavily modified version of Suzuki’s HEARTECT platform, which also underpins the Baleno hatchback. This platform upgrade ensures improved structural rigidity, enhanced safety features, and better overall performance. The styling of the new Dzire will be more evolved, sharing components with the new Swift.
Launch Date, Price and Rivals
Anticipation is high for the launch of the new Maruti Dzire, with industry experts predicting a market debut in June 2024, coinciding with a strategic positioning in the market. The timing allows the Dzire to capitalize on consumer demand and seasonal trends, strengthening Maruti Suzuki’s market presence in the compact sedan segment. The 2024 Maruti Suzuki Dzire is set to make waves in the sub-compact sedan segment, expected to be priced in a similar range as the current model, which is approximately ₹6.57 to ₹9.39 lakh. Once launched, it will continue to compete with rivals such as the Honda Amaze, Hyundai Aura, and Tata Tigor.
