Maruti has launched the 2nd generation Swift Dzire at a starting price for Rs 4.79lakh (ex showroom price). It is available in both petrol & diesel engine, the new sub 4 metre Dzire is also offered as a 4 speed automatic petrol variant.
The base petrol (LXi) variant is of Rs 4.79 lakh, rised up to Rs 6.19 lakh for the top ZXi model. The automatic system is only available in the VXi model, retails at Rs 6.54 lakh. Same is for the diesel version, the base model is of Rs 5.80 lakh & the top end for Rs 7.09 lakh.
The new Dzire compact saloon is some how different from the old car . Of 3995mm, it is 165mm shorter than the existing one. This is resulted in an very short boot, & a more notchback which look as opposed to a proper saloon. The boot space is of 316 litres & is a whole size down on the old saloon, but it is large enough to hold weekend luggage.
The engines are taken from the new Swift & it means that the Dzire will be powered by 86bhp, 1.2-litre petrol & 74bhp, 1.3 litre diesel motors. The K Series petrol engine is benefited from "Variable Valve Timing" & this has resulted in a 2bhp power bumps as compared to the old car. The 1.3 litre DDiS motor remains same.
On the front looks, the new Dzire is tweaked styling for differentiating it from new Swift. The front is having a slatted grille but the bumper is wider air dam & larger enclosures for the fog lights. In the rear, the quarter glass is more conventional fall to it & the rear door is very larger as well. The cabin is designed identical to the new Swift’s, because the use of beige plastics on the lower portion of the dashboard, the door pads & the light seat fabrics really enhanced the ambience inside the car.
In terms of performance, Maruti claims that the petrol Dzire can hit 0-100kph in 12.6 sec, but the diesel Dzire will take 14.8 sec, before reaching the top speed of 160kph.
The new Maruti Swift Dzire competes with the likes of the
Tata Indigo eCS,
Toyota Etios and the Mahindra Verito.
