The sub compact sedan segment in India is dominated by the Maruti Suzuki Dzire. The sub compact sedan recently got upgrades with a generational upgrade. The fourth-generation version of this sub-compact sedan has been launched with a significantly updated design, a plethora of new features and a completely new powertrain. With the launch of the new Dzire, Maruti Suzuki is trying to revamp its competition with the key rivals in the segment, where other models include Hyundai Aura and Tata Tigor.
The Maruti Suzuki Dzire shares its powertrain with the fourth-generation Maruti Suzuki Swift, which was launched earlier this year with a host of updates on the exterior, interior and mechanical front as well. Powering the new Swift and Dzire is a 1.2-litre three-cylinder petrol engine, which is a departure from the third-gen model’s 1.2-litre four-cylinder engine.
