The Dzire was originally developed alongside the Suzuki Swift to offer a more family-orientated sedan body shape of the popular hatchback. It has since evolved to serve a large and distinctive market for young families and has become the most popular B-segment sedan in the world.

Several exterior design features make the all-new Suzuki Dzire stand out. Viewed from the front, the model has a smooth polygonal grille, large headlamps and chrome detailing on the grille and below the integrated fog lamp area.

The Dzire also features a unique bonnet design, sharply raked A-pillars and a smooth shoulder line that flows straight back from the middle of the front doors to the rear LED combination tail lights.

As part of its new status as a separate model range in the Suzuki stable, the new Dzire has a unique dashboard design that emphasises style and usability. It is fitted with silver accents throughout the dashboard and air vents that mimic the design of the front grille.

In front of the driver there is a new instrument cluster, with clearly readable instrumentation and a multi-information display. The GL-specification level adds a tachometer, additional silver accents and premium white illumination.

All Dzire models are equipped with air conditioning, front and rear electric windows, airbags for the driver and front passenger, a tilt-adjustable steering column, a security alarm and immobiliser and ISOFIX anchor points for rear-fitted child seats.

Like its sibling, the Suzuki Swift, the Dzire is built on Suzuki’s new HEARTECT platform. This platform not only increases passive and dynamic safety and lowers weight, but it increases interior cabin space thanks to a longer wheelbase and wider cabin.

In the Dzire, the 1.2 litre engine delivers 61 kW at 6 000 rpm and 113 Nm of torque at 4 200 rpm. Power is delivered to the front wheels via a five-speed manual gearbox with new convergent shifting system for smoother, more secure shifts or the automated manual gearbox (AMT). The AMT gearbox uses an automatically actuating clutch and is fitted with a ‘creep’ function to improve low speed comfort, like in slow moving traffic or when parking.
