Now in its third generation, the Maruti Suzuki Dzire is easily the most popular compact sedan in India. Class-leading cabin space and features as well as a well-proportioned design in addition to the peace of mind of buying a Maruti sure seem to have worked in the car’s favour. The Maruti Suzuki Dzire is available with petrol and diesel engines, both of which can be had with either a manual transmission or an AMT.

The Maruti Suzuki Dzire is quite attractive as far as compact sedans go but the car’s cabin is the real talking point. It not only looks premium by class standards but also offers more space than many pricier cars, and there’s reasonable boot space, too.
The Maruti Suzuki Dzire with the 83hp, 1.2-litre petrol engine is really peppy and enjoyable while the efficient 75hp, 1.3-litre diesel motor works fine for highway use. Although the diesel feels sluggish at low town speeds and feels generally crude by modern standards. As for the gearboxes, the manuals offer the best experience. The AMT autos aren’t smooth enough for the money, particularly the diesel AMT.
The steering is light while the comfortable ride furthers the Dzire’s big car feel.

The petrol-manual is the best version of the Maruti Suzuki Dzire though the petrol-AMT variant also has its appeal if you live in a congested city. Money being no object, the top-spec ZXi+ is the version to buy. Touchscreen infotainment system aside, the Z+ trims also get excellent LED headlights. However, there’s no denying that the Z+ is on the pricey side. Stick to the standard Z trim for a reasonable amount of equipment for fair money.
