Maruti has added a new limited-run special edition model to its Dzire line-up called the Dzire Allure. The special edition model is available in a choice of six exterior colours and across all variants of Maruti’s popular compact sedan.

Cosmetic changes to the car’s exterior include added chrome detailing, new side skirts, body graphics and a chrome-finished Allure badge on the boot lid.

Inside, the Allure edition features dual-tone seats and steering cover, door sill guards, ambient footwell lighting, new floor mats and a front centre armrest. The cabin also comes finished with faux wood inserts on the dashboard and doors. Also offered is an optional Hertz audio system, including speakers, woofer and an amplifier.

Being available in all variants, the Dzire Allure can be had either with the 84hp 1.2-litre petrol engine paired with either a five-speed manual or a conventional four-speed automatic gearbox or with the 1.3-litre DDiS diesel engine developing 75hp. The diesel motor is offered with a five-speed manual gearbox as standard, with the option of a five-speed AMT unit on the top variant.

As per dealers, the special edition kit can be had for an additional cost of between Rs 27,000 to 38,000, with the latter cost for the car equipped with the optional audio system.

Maruti is also on track to launch an all-new Dzire sometime later this year with the third-gen model currently undergoing testing.
