Trending Questions on Maruti Suzuki Dzire - Answered by Autocar Experts
I am looking to buy a new 7-seater within a budget of Rs 15 to 16 lakh. My monthly driving is around 2,500km across both city and highway conditions. Which car would be the best choice for me? If a 7-seater is not possible in this budget, which 5-seater would be the best in terms of mileage, boot space, and low maintenance?
I own a Dzire petrol car and want to replace it with a new petrol car. Please suggest the best petrol car in the ₹10-12 lakh range.
I want a petrol manual car with a 5-star GNCAP safety rating, at least four (or another even number of) cylinders, excellent fuel efficiency, and long-term reliability so I can run it for around 20 years. I’m new to earning and have a limited budget. Please suggest suitable options.
Looking at your requirements of reliability and fuel efficiency, along with a good safety rating, we would recommend you look at the Maruti Suzuki Dzire.
It is a three-cylinder engine; however, this should not be something you should worry about as the unit has adequate performance, in fact, a very good low-speed response.
The Dzire is a sedan, but it fits within the sub-4 meter footprint, and that, along with its light controls, will make it an easy drive for you.
My dad currently drives a 2018 Maruti Suzuki Swift Dzire Diesel manual, which has run around 1.2 lakh km. He is 65 and mostly drives in the city. We are planning to switch to an automatic for better comfort and convenience. 1. Should we retain the existing Dzire for a few more years or sell it now, considering running cost, age, and expected resale value? 2. If we go for a replacement, is the Maruti Fronx AMT a good upgrade? Any other automatic options (under ₹10–11 lakh on-road) that would be.
The Maruti Suzuki Fronx AMT is a good replacement - its engine is peppy, AMT (automatic) is smooth by segment standards, and the overall experience is likely to be quite trouble-free. You could also consider a Hyundai i20 IVT for its smoother automatic transmission and refined engine.
Hi team, I intend to sell my 2018 Maruti Ciaz petrol and buy a new Maruti car around ₹10 lakh. I am a retired person, aged 61, and need an automatic car with good features such as a 360-degree camera, sensors, etc. Mileage is not an issue as the usage will be very low. My main requirements are an automatic transmission and all-around sensors and cameras.
I want to buy my first car under Rs 12 lakh. I will be learning to drive with it as well, so please suggest an SUV or sedan in my budget that is reliable, safe, and easy to maintain and operate for newcomers.
I want to buy a new car by exchanging my existing one. My budget is 9 lakhs. I will drive mostly in the city, with highway trips or long drives 4-5 times a year. My priorities are safety, comfort, a good engine and gearbox, reliability, and good after-sales support or service network. I prefer a manual. Since parking in the city is a challenge, I don’t want a very big car.
How is the Honda Amaze CVT in your view? I don’t see many posts recommending this sedan.
The closest alternative to the Honda Amaze is the Maruti Suzuki Dzire. The Honda car has the upper hand with a smoother transmission, while the Maruti Suzuki car is more fuel efficient and also costs less. For in-depth analysis, read the Honda Amaze vs Maruti Dzire comparison.
I'm buying an automatic car for my wife, who is a new driver. She will drive about 10 km per day. We want an automatic under ₹10 lakh with a 5-star safety rating, good features, and excellent front visibility. Which model should we choose?
The Maruti Suzuki Dzire will be worth considering. The sedan falls within your budget, it comes with a 1.2-litre petrol engine mated to a 5-speed AMT automatic gearbox, and you also get a great view out of the cabin. Dzire top-spec ZXI+ also comes loaded with features like a sunroof, a 9-inch touchscreen, 6 airbags and more.
Also, this Maruti car has received a full, 5-star crash safety rating from both, Global NCAP and Bharat NCAP.
I want an automatic car with a budget up to ₹13 lakh on-road. I’m torn between the Kia Sonet HTX DCT and the Maruti Suzuki Dzire (top AT/AGS). My driving is mostly city (70-80%), so fuel average and safety are my top concerns. Which should I choose, and are there better alternatives within my budget?
Of the two options, we'd recommend you go for the Maruti Suzuki Dzire AMT ZXI Plus. It delivers significantly better fuel economy in city driving conditions, and there's the reassurance of knowing it's a 5-star Global NCAP-rated vehicle. The Dzire in top-spec form also packs in quite a bit by way of features.
An alternative is the Maruti Suzuki Fronx Turbo AT Alpha. While its turbocharged engine is not as fuel-efficient as the Dzire's engine, real-world mileage is still good by class standards. There's also the added advantage of a smoother 6-speed automatic transmission.
