After maruti suzuki's massive hit maker swift, they offers swift with dick also. There is not much change in swift dezire except that dicky part. When we are looking the car from the front side it will be as such like that of the swift. Also as the swift comes in different variats, tis swift dzire has also got so many variants.
Maruti DZire is the next value for money sedan in its segment from Maruti cradle after SX4 , SX4 was a good hit by sales number. Maruti has launched the Dzire in 6 variants - 3 of petrol and 3 diesel. Base model of petrol version is available for Rs. 4.49 lakhs(Ex-showroom Delhi) and base model of diesel version is priced at Rs. 4.90 Lakhs(Ex-showroom Delhi).
Engines
Maruti has launched Dzire with its new-generation 1300cc Multijet diesel engine and in a 1.3-litre petrol variant. It uses the same engines as the swift and there is very marginal increase in weight(30kg) which ensures that the performance is same like the swift. The Petrol engine develops maximum power of 87bhp@6000rpm with maximum torque of 113Nm@4500rpm and diesel engine develops maximum power of 75bhp@4000rpm with maximum torque of 190Nm@2000rpm. Both the engines feel very refined and have enough power with resonable mileage.
Looks & Styling
The sedan is a replica of the hatchback with a boot attached along. The chunky C-pillar is moved towards the back and rear quarter glass has grown in size. Maruti has extended the rear doors and hence the seats are pushed to the back to give more legroom for the rear passengers. But still the rear legroom is very disappointing and feels very cramped. Front seats are comfy and very supportive. Chrome has been biggest hit among indians and now a Maruti car gets that. The boot lid of the dezire is a chrome strip connecting the two vertical tail lamps. The boomerang tail lamp gets a new horizontal type turn indicators. Suspension has been retuned for the dezire to bear the additional weight. The body roll is well under control but the ride quality is a little bit bumpy, u have to slow it down over pothholes and patchy roads.
Interiors & Safety Features
To be more upmarket, interiors have been refreshed for the Maruti Dzire with the contemporary beige upholsteries and an integrated single DIN stereo. The Speedometer and tachometer looks good with crome surrounds and are white-lit which looks cool at night. Steering has been borrowed from SX4, top end variant comes with steering mounted stereo controls like SX4. Safety features include dual airbags, ABS with EBD, collapsible steering column and an i-CATS anti-theft facility. Many of these features are first-time offerings in the segment.

Mileage
Without doubt Dzire's trump card is the mileage. Verna, Indigo come a distant second and only competition is from Mahindra Renault Logan. Maruti is higher in terms of power also and it is the most economical since it uses a 5-point injection. Also the weight of Dzire is not significant to affect the mileage in comparison to its hatchback verion.
Pricing & Resale value
Maruti Suzuki has launched Dzire with an introductory price ranging from Rs 4,49,000 to Rs 6,70,000 (ex-showroom Delhi). The petrol variant will cost Rs 4,49,000 to Rs 5,90,000 and the diesel Rs 5,39,000 to Rs 6,70,000. Maruti outsells all other cars and therefore you will have a better chance of reselling your car at a higher value than a Verna or a Logan. Dzire is offered in seven colours: Arctic White, Silky Silver, Clear Beige, Midnight Black, Bright Red, Azure Gray and Sovereign Blue.
Anyway Indianroadies gives three and a half star for this SWIFT DZIRE.
