In Maruti Dzire, Most buyers notice the obvious stuff first, the sunroof, 360-degree camera, big touchscreen and LED lamps. But some of the more useful features are buried inside menus, tucked into the cabin, or simply ignored during the showroom walkaround.

Here are some hidden and easily missed Maruti Dzire features that are worth knowing before you buy one.

1. Suzuki Connect Can Do Far More Than Track Your Car

The Dzire's Suzuki Connect system is easy to ignore because it works mainly through your phone.

But it can provide features such as:

• Live vehicle tracking

• Vehicle health information

• Stolen vehicle alerts

• Tow-away alerts

• Geofencing

• Valet alerts

• Door lock status

• Low-fuel alerts

• Over-speed alerts

• Trip history

• Driving score

• Remote AC control

• Headlight and hazard-light control

• Smartwatch connectivity

Maruti also lists Alexa integration for Suzuki Connect.

That means the Dzire can give you information about the car even when you are nowhere near it.

For parents handing the car to their children, this can be more useful than another shiny dashboard feature.

2. The 360-Degree Camera Is More Than a Parking Camera

The top-spec Dzire gets a 360 HD View Camera, and this is one of the features buyers should actually learn to use.

The system provides different views around the car and dynamic guidelines to make tight parking easier.

This is especially useful in Indian cities where parking spaces are sometimes designed by people who clearly have never parked a car.

The camera can help when:

• Parking close to another car

• Entering narrow lanes

• Avoiding pillars

• Reversing into tight spaces

• Judging the front corners of the car

It is available on the ZXi+ variants.

3. TPMS Is Standard, So You Don't Have to Guess Tyre Pressure

The Dzire gets a Tyre Pressure Monitoring System, which keeps an eye on tyre pressure and warns the driver when pressure needs attention.

This is one of those features that becomes useful only after something goes wrong.

A tyre can lose pressure slowly without looking flat. By the time you notice it visually, fuel economy, handling and tyre wear may already be affected.

So yes, that little warning on the MID can save you from the classic Indian ritual of kicking the tyre and saying, "Lagta hai hawa kam hai."

4. Rear Passengers Get Their Own AC Vents

The Dzire gets rear AC vents, which are easy to miss during a quick showroom visit. Maruti lists them among the car's comfort features.

For a family sedan, this matters.

The rear passengers do not have to depend completely on cold air travelling from the front of the cabin.

There are also rear USB charging provisions, including fast charging support in the newer Dzire.

5. The Rear Seat Gets a Centre Armrest With Cupholders

The rear seat is designed for people who are likely to spend a lot of time travelling.

The centre armrest includes cupholders, giving rear passengers a more comfortable place to rest their arm and keep a bottle or drink.

It sounds small, but these are exactly the features that make a family car easier to live with.

6. Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay

The Dzire's 9-inch SmartPlay Pro+ infotainment system supports wireless Android Auto and wireless Apple CarPlay.

This means you can leave your phone in your pocket instead of plugging it in every time you get into the car.

The system also gets Surround Sense by ARKAMYS.

For most owners, wireless connectivity will probably be used far more often than the sunroof.

7. The Wireless Charger Saves You From Cable Chaos

The Dzire gets a wireless smartphone charger on higher variants.

Put your compatible phone on the charging pad and let it charge while you drive.

There is one catch, though. Wireless charging can generate heat, and phones can charge more slowly than with a wired fast charger. So think of it as a convenience feature, not a replacement for every wired charger.

8. Keyless Entry Means You Don't Need to Take the Key Out

The Dzire offers keyless entry with its smart key system on higher variants.

If the key is in your pocket, you can unlock the car without taking it out and pressing the unlock button. Maruti specifically highlights this as one of the Dzire's convenience features.

It is a tiny feature until you are carrying shopping bags, an umbrella, a child, or all three.

9. Cruise Control Is Hiding in Plain Sight

The Dzire gets cruise control on the higher ZXi+ variants.

It is useful on open highways when traffic is moving at a steady speed.

Instead of continuously holding the accelerator, you can set the desired speed and let the car maintain it.

For someone who regularly drives between cities, this can make long highway runs less tiring.

10. The Driver Gets an Auto-Up/Down Power Window

The driver's window gets an automatic down function, making it possible to lower the window with a single press rather than holding the switch continuously.

It is the kind of feature that nobody mentions during a launch event, but you notice it every single day.

11. The Dzire Can Tell You More About Your Driving

Suzuki Connect also includes a Driving Score and trip history.

That can give owners a better idea of how they are driving over time.

You can look at trips, driving behaviour and other vehicle information through the connected-car system.

For fleet owners and parents, this can also provide useful visibility into how the car is being used.

12. Remote AC Control Is a Proper Hidden Gem

One of the more interesting Suzuki Connect functions is remote AC control.

Depending on the applicable system and variant, connected functionality can let you operate certain functions remotely.

This is particularly useful in India's summer months.

Imagine getting into a car that has already started cooling instead of opening the door and discovering that the cabin has been converted into a microwave.
