2025 Maruti Dzire launched, 5-star Global NCAP rated compact sedan
2025 Maruti Dzire launched in India with prices starting from Rs. 6.79 lakhs (all prices, ex-showroom & introductory) for the base model and going up to Rs. 10.14 lakhs for the top-spec version. A significant update for the compact sedan, the new Dzire offers enhanced safety, updated features and design elements. With this launch, Maruti positions the Dzire as a leader in safety and comfort in the compact sedan segment, competing with models like the Hyundai Aura, Tata Tigor and Honda Amaze, which is set for an update soon.
Subscription Service
The new Dzire is available in four variants: LXi, VXi, ZXi and ZXi+. Maruti has also introduced a CNG option, available on the VXi and ZXi trims. For customers interested in a subscription-based model, the Dzire is available at an EMI starting from Rs. 18,248 through Maruti Suzuki’s subscription service, making it accessible for those looking for flexibility in ownership.
Design
The Dzire now measures 3995 mm in length, 1735 mm in width and 1525 mm in height, with a 2450 mm wheelbase and 163 mm ground clearance. A slight increase in height aside, it retains similar dimensions to the outgoing model but with a completely fresh design language. Unlike previous generations, the new Dzire does not share design cues with the Swift hatchback, providing it with a distinct aesthetic identity.
Design updates include a flat hood with subtle creases, a redesigned hexagonal grille with horizontal slats and chrome detailing and LED headlamps with a blacked-out surround. The profile features contoured surfaces on the doors and fenders, complemented by a new diamond-cut alloy wheel design on higher trims. The rear has also received updates, including a squarish tail-light with 3D Trinity LED elements.
Interior & Features
Inside, Maruti Suzuki has integrated a new beige upholstery theme with a dashboard finished in dark brown, silver trims and faux wood. The Dzire comes equipped with a 9-inch Smartplay Pro Plus infotainment system featuring wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, along with Maruti’s connected car technology.
Higher trims of the Dzire offer a factory-fitted single-pane sunroof, a unique feature for the compact sedan category. Additional features include cruise control, rear AC vents, a rear center armrest and a 360-degree camera, providing a significant upgrade over previous models in terms of convenience and comfort.
Performance
The new Dzire is powered by the same 1.2-litre, three-cylinder Z12E petrol engine as seen in the Swift, delivering 82 HP and 112 Nm of torque. It includes an idle start/stop feature to enhance fuel efficiency. Transmission options include a 5-speed manual and a 5-speed AMT. For the CNG variant, the engine produces 69.75 HP and 101.8 Nm torque, offering an economical alternative for cost-conscious buyers.
Maruti Suzuki claims 24.79 km/l of fuel efficiency for the manual variant, 25.71 km/l for AMT variants and 33.73 km/kg for CNG variants.
Safety
Marking a first for Maruti, the new Dzire has received a 5-star rating for adult occupant protection and a 4-star rating for child occupant protection from Global NCAP. This places it at the forefront of safety in the compact sedan segment. Key safety features include six airbags, electronic stability program (ESP), hill hold assist, ABS with EBD, brake assist, three-point seat belts for all passengers and ISOFIX mounts.
While the fourth-gen Dzire has been introduced for private buyers, Maruti Suzuki will continue to sell the third-generation model as the Dzire Tour for fleet operators. The new Maruti Dzire, with its improved safety features, design overhaul and competitive pricing, aims to strengthen Maruti’s position in the compact sedan market. By offering a 5-star safety-rated vehicle at an accessible price point, Maruti Suzuki appeals to a broad range of buyers who prioritise safety without compromising on style or comfort.
