Maruti Suzuki VXi has been one of the most popular variants for a long time, promising value for money. Will the VXi trim of the new Dzire continue the same momentum?

Maruti Suzuki Dzire received its fourth-generation iteration just a few weeks back, which incorporates a plethora of changes in terms of an updated exterior and upgraded feature list. Available at an introductory price range of 6.79 lakh – 10.14 lakh (ex-showroom), it comes with a new 1.2-litre three-cylinder Z12E petrol engine, which replaced the erstwhile four-cylinder 1.2-litre petrol motor. The sub-compact sedan is available in seven colour choices and in four variants: LXi, VXi, ZXi and ZXi+.

The Maruti Suzuki Dzire VXi trim has been one of the bestselling variants of the sub-compact sedan. The VXi trim offers a host of features that are necessary and not available in the LXi trim. At the same time, it doesn’t cost like the ZXi or ZXi + trims, which makes the VXi trim a value-for-money variant.

If you are planning to buy the VXi trim of the Maruti Suzuki Dzire, here is a quick and comprehensive look at what it offers.
