Now, the 2024 Maruti Suzuki Dzire is here, and it's turning heads with some promising upgrades. Bookings are open, and here’s everything you need to know about its specifications, features, and why it might be the perfect car for you.

The 2024 Dzire is a refresh that continues Maruti's tradition of delivering reliable performance and efficiency but adds a few touches that make it more stylish and practical. With a sleek exterior, efficient hybrid options, and smart tech features, this version aims to retain its top spot in the sub-compact sedan segment.

Key Specs and Performance Features

Engine Options: The 2024 Dzire offers two primary engine choices: a 1.2-liter Dualjet petrol engine and a 1.2-liter mild-hybrid variant.

The Dualjet petrol engine delivers a smooth ride and consistent performance, while the hybrid model adds improved fuel efficiency, a growing priority for Indian buyers.

Power and Efficiency: Both versions deliver around 90-92 horsepower and 113 Nm of torque, balanced to suit city driving and highway runs.

With the mild-hybrid version, Maruti Suzuki has claimed mileage of over 26 km/l, which is bound to attract those looking for lower running costs.

Transmission: You can choose between a 5-speed manual transmission and a 5-speed AGS (Auto Gear Shift), also known as AMT, ensuring a convenient option for all types of drivers.

Noteworthy Features of the 2024 Dzire

SmartPlay Studio Infotainment System: Maruti’s SmartPlay Studio returns with a 7-inch touchscreen display. It supports both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, making it easy to integrate your smartphone for navigation, calls, and music. Interior and Comfort:

The 2024 Dzire has been designed with comfort in mind. The cabin is more spacious, offering ample headroom and legroom, and seats have been upgraded for better lumbar support. The rear seats come with adjustable headrests and an armrest with cup holders, making long journeys more comfortable.

Safety Enhancements

Safety remains a focus with features like dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, and reverse parking sensors.

Higher trims add Electronic Stability Program (ESP) and Hill Hold Assist, making this one of the safest compact sedans in its price bracket.

Fuel Efficiency and Eco-Friendliness:

The hybrid variant isn't just fuel-efficient; it's also eco-friendly, with lower emissions. This makes the Dzire a better choice for those looking to reduce their carbon footprint without sacrificing performance. Exterior Design Refresh:

The new Dzire sports a more refined front grille, sleek headlamps, and a more aerodynamic profile, giving it a fresh, modern look. The new alloy wheel designs and body-colored ORVMs (Outside Rear-View Mirrors) add a stylish edge to this popular sedan.

Booking Process and Variants

Maruti Suzuki has simplified the booking process for the 2024 Dzire. Interested buyers can visit any authorized Maruti Suzuki dealership or book the car online by paying a nominal booking amount, which varies by region. The Dzire is expected to be available in four primary variants: LXi, VXi, ZXi, and ZXi+, with each variant offering different levels of features and tech for different price ranges.

Expected Price Range

The 2024 Maruti Suzuki Dzire is expected to start at around ₹6.5 lakh (ex-showroom) for the base LXi model, going up to around ₹9 lakh for the fully loaded ZXi+ variant. This pricing strategy keeps it competitive with other popular sedans like the Hyundai Aura, Honda Amaze, and Tata Tigor.
