“Maruti Dzire – The Right Choice”

Why is it that I am referring to Maruti DZire as the right choice?
You will understand once you go through this post.

Maruti DZire comes in as many as 6 variants — good enough to suit both buyer’s requirements and pocket at the same time.

DZire comes with same two engines that are available in its hatchback version. The petrol engine is a 1298cc 16-valve In-line 4 that delivers 87 bhp@6000 rpm and a maximum torque of 113 Nm@4500 rpm. The diesel variants get a 1248cc turbocharged DDiS engine that generates 75 bhp@4000 rpm and a maximum torque of 190 Nm@2000 rpm.

The Swift DZire variants have lower kerb weight in their class with petrol variants ranging from 1010-1035 kg and Diesel variants ranging from 1090-1115 kg. The lower kerb weight advantage translates to good performance of the car. The gearbox is slick and the clutch is smooth. This makes driving the car a pleasure.

Overall, Maruti Swift Dzire gives the driver good feel and performance. It retains the cheeky appeal of its hatchback sibling with a more premium look. From the side, the sedan has a complete new design. It has bigger doors and larger window glass areas that make occupants feel roomier.

DZire's back is entirely different from the hatchback. The trunk lid is raised and has a lip that merges with the shoulder line of the car. A thick chrome garnish on top of the rear number plate attempts to offset the heaviness of the oversized trunk lid. The rear also flaunts new clear-lens combination lamps.

The car's interior has a luxurious look and feel with the use of good materials. The instrument cluster has round dials with chrome surround and features a white backlight. Compared to the hatchback, the most notable changes in the sedan are in the top-end variants that now come with standard steering mounted controls for the music system and the new music system has been well integrated into the dashboard to add a lot of charm. The DZire also has a comfortable seating position for the rear occupants. The rear seat backrests are angled at 27 degrees.

All these variants VXi, ZXi, VDi, and ZDi come with quality fittings like integrated audio system, tachometer, and convenience features such as audible headlights-on reminder, center and front cabin lights, vanity mirror, rear seat center armrest, and front electric power windows. The top-end variants ZXi and ZDi are equipped with more upscale features like front airbags, ABS with EBD brake assist, rear window defogger, adjustable tilt steering, and automatic climate control.
