The new Maruti Dzire, launched today on November 11, is all set to redefine the sub-compact sedan market in India. This next-generation model aims to revive the sedan’s popularity in a market dominated by compact SUVs. It has achieved a 5-star safety rating from Global NCAP, making it one of the top 5 safest cars in India. With top scores in adult safety and a strong 4-star rating for child safety, the new Dzire is Maruti’s first vehicle to reach this safety milestone.

A Redesigned Look with Premium Exterior Features

The latest Dzire sports a completely revamped front end, distinct from the Swift’s recent design. It features a bold grille, sleek LED headlamps, and glossy black accents with chrome highlights. The rear end flaunts Y-shaped LED tail lamps connected by a chrome strip and a sporty boot-lid spoiler, giving it a modern and sophisticated look.

Luxurious Interiors with Advanced Technology

Inside, the Dzire offers a luxurious, dual-tone cabin design in black and beige with premium wooden trims. The dashboard is centered around a 9-inch floating touchscreen display, accompanied by an analog instrument cluster with a 4.2-inch digital multi-information display. Higher trims may include ADAS features, enhancing the driving experience. The new Dzire is also the first in its segment to feature an electric sunroof, adding a touch of luxury.
