Maruti has officially taken the wraps off the new Dzire. This is the third generation of Maruti’s best seller and will be launched on May 16, 2017.

The new Dzire is by far the best looking of the lot and doesnt look like just another sub four metre compact sedan. The bonnet has a nice and smooth flow to it with well designed fenders. The headlights and front grille have been carried over from the new Swift. There is lots of chrome too which is a favourite with Indian buyers. The rear also looks nicely integrated with the rest of the car. The new DZire is 40 mm wider than the outgoing model. The interior features an all new dashboard with lots of elements carried over from the new Swift hatchback. It gets a dual tone finish of black and beige which looks upmarket. The AC vents are wedge shaped and have a nice design to them. There is a new flat bottom steering wheel which gets faux wood treatment. Space is also more at the rear because of an increased wheel base that is 2,450 mm.  The new Dzire will carry forward the engines used by the older car. These are the 1.2-litre  K12 petrol engine developing 85 horsepower and what is the national engine, the 1.3 litre Multijet diesel motor. Both engines will be offered with manual and AMT gearboxes.
