Indian Autos Blog reader Rajesh Dogra has captured images of the new Swift Dzire as it was being unloaded from its container in Jammu today. The new Dzire has already started marching towards dealer yards and the launch is expected to unfold in the weeks ahead or dare I say days ahead.
The interior of the new Dzire is laid out in the same manner as the Swift. Features such as steering-mounted audio controls, dual tone dashboard, five-speed manual transmission….to capsule it, the interior is a photocopy of the Swift’s!
Maruti has neatly differentiated the sedan from the hatch using a new grille, triangular fog lamp modules and unique wheel caps.
The spyshot provides answers to questions on the branding we raised this afternoon. Thankfully the new car will continue running under the same name.
We’ve already discussed the engine options in a previous post – 1.2-liter K Series petrol engine and 1.3-liter Fiat-sourced Multi-jet engine will stay on providing the motive force. The new Dzire is shorter compared to the current model, with length under four meters to take advantage of the excise benefits the government offers for cars that are under four meters long.
The Dzire nameplate is not very old (has existed only since Q1 2008) but the waiting periods are very long, especially for the diesel model. We’ll have to wait and see if Maruti offers more options on the powertrain front such as an AT option on the incoming car.

[...] The reason for the Dzire’s shortening from one model year to the next is not apparently in an effort to boost sales, as the model already reportedly has a waiting list, but to take advantage of Indian government regulations that more heavily taxes vehicles over four meters in length.

Well, Dzire has been a winner in its Segment since its launch way back in 2008 and by looking at the way, it has been crafted now simply says “Yes I Was A Winner, I Am The Winner And Will Be A Winner In Future”
Kudos to the MSIL

there shld b a cheaper low on features version….y wld i go for a stunted butt of a car if not for financial constraints…it looks like a plastic surgery gone awry….silocone breast implants fall off in england..here butt implants eh???
Shrawan,
Maruti is considering to price the dzire at what it is right now (even the new one) at about 8.9 lacs for zDi. At this price its not a value add considering manza at 9.3 OTR bangalore or sunny at 9.8 OTR bangalore. The boot is also not low lipped, but starts at boot lid level itself (no depth). if you stand exactly at the side of the car the looks are ridiculous which shows maruti did not get it right. however from an angle or the back its ok. rear space they say is higher, for passengers, and after seeing sunny which is the current benchmarks, this looks childish. yes its a maruti and it will sell. but imagine paying 9 lac for a 1.3 75 bhp engine versus sunny’s 9.8 for a 1.5 litre 90bhp. obviously the value is more on the latter.
This is the discussion thread: http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/indian-car-scene/114295-maruti-suzuki-launch-new-swift-dzire-february.html
and here is a pic of the nissan sunny interiors: http://www.cybervally.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/New-2011-Nissan-Sunny-Interior-Design-5.jpg
Compare that with the new dzire interior: http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/attachments/indian-car-scene/872602d1326734991-maruti-suzuki-launch-new-swift-dzire-february-dezire-5.jpg
not much space isnt it !?
the new seift dzire looks much better in terms of its exterior and interior styling…the Current one had a ugly looking boot and simply looked out of proportion…but not to forget that it is the hottest selling car…but i think that maruti should reduce waiting periods on their cars apecially swift hatchback & compact sedan have a very long waiting period…with size reduced to sub4 meters maruti is going to have a great response to the car as the pricing will be lesser than before
Would the tax benefits be passed onto the customers?
It was said that the new version would be priced around similar to the existing Dzire.
Does that mean instead of reducing the prices Maruti would offer features on the cars and make them more appealing?
Old Dzire would still be sold in lower trims, which probably could be targeted at the Taxi market.
it means they can offer more features and technology for the same price!
Should sell the current sedan as Dzire Plus as there is a strong demend.

Fantastic !
Better then the current one at every corner, interior is much better then any Maruties next to Kizashi. But still can’t be able to digest the rear, although better then current Dezire, but… :/. By the way what is the boot capacity?
Hey I just noticed it has wooden interior, not it looks much more upmarket than sx4
It has beige and black interior rather black in swift.
Faux wood inserts! Nice job Maruti
4 speed auto option will be available on the VXi. ZXi & Diesel variants will be manual only(SOURCE:The Car and The Bike Show Facebook page).

Rear styling is much better now much like Nissan Teana… Interiors look good with black beige interior combinations.. Is the 1.4 petrol expected
the comparison to nissan must end at this point
nothing else in dzire compares to a nissan. teana or sunny or whatever!
There is a AUTO box in the petrol
oooooh gorgeous the side looks
at opytion would b a bit awkward but dosnt matter a better looking car than present looking sdzire
auto option would be good but is there bluetooth connectivity added to it?
