Maruti Suzuki
Dzire
Summary
The Maruti Suzuki Dzire is well-regarded for its excellent fuel efficiency, comfortable ride, and value for money, making it a top choice for budget-conscious buyers. Users appreciate its spacious boot and reliable performance on Indian roads. The 2024 facelift adds a stylish design and advanced technology, including a 9-inch infotainment system and a 5-star safety rating. However, some reviewers note the lack of a sixth gear for smoother high-speed driving and that certain interior materials feel cheap. Overall, it remains a dependable option for families and first-time car buyers.

    My Dzire Story – “Sundari” We own a 2010 Swift Dzire VXI (BS4, Silky Silver) the only Dzire generation with a length above 4 meters, making it feel like a proper sedan. It was powered by Suzuki’s first K12 engine, and till today, its RAWNESS and tall gearing remain unmatched. In 2nd gear, it touches 95 km/h, yet the high-speed stability and cornering balance are superb. its not a turbocharged funk car but never lets down ITS ELEGANT for me My dad bought this car when I was in 2nd class, and now, as a 4th-year B.Tech student, I can proudly say I’ve grown up with it. I’ve driven it for the last 30–40k km, especially between Gurgaon and Delhi, and it still feels as fresh and elegant as day one. At 1,10,000 km, the engine is so smooth that sitting inside, you can barely tell whether it’s on or off. The Dzire is a true all-rounder: smooth when driven slow, confidence-inspiring when pushed fast. Very Big boot, timeless instrument cluster, and elegant JAPANESE design ! Despite completing 15 years, we’ve decided to keep it, thanks to the new rule, because i really get emotional by even the thought of this car leaving us always kept us all safe and mechanically also its all sorted . Once I get placed, I dream of giving it mods like spoiler, 16-inch wheels, maybe more. I call her “Sundari”, because as Karan Aujla said: “Ni tenu dekh k jee lagda, dekh deeva jagda… Tu Moraa’n kolo sikhdi toraa’n.” My Sundari has listened to it all, the throttle has felt it all so she isn’t just a car for me, she’s family. ❤️

    I have learned driving on Maruti Suzuki Swift Dzire. I feel this a very robust car that is good on milleage, helps with ample space, easier maintenance and availability of spare parts. I have driven it across landscapes and beleive this is the best pocket friendly starter car out there.

    But since I own Suzuki Dzire, I would advocate for that. Simply because I feel in this budget, no other "Sedan" can come close to what Dzire gives...great mileage, great resale value, easy maintanence and affordability of parts are the resons why I think Dzire is highly underrated.

    I prefer Dzire ZXi AT. First and the foremost its 5 star NCAP rating which makes it a safe car. Of course the reliable Maruti name is a big pull. I have driven the older version and the engine performance, NVH and handling left me impressed. I would have gone for it had it not been the poor sales experience at the showroom. The new launch is visually striking and the Z-Series 1.2 L with 5 speed AT am sure packs a punch. In Bhopal's bumper to bumper traffic it sure soothes nerves

    My Maruti Dzire is a smooth compact sedan, I get 18–20 kmpl easily. Comfortable for family runs and long trips. Rear headroom is decent, boot is roomy. Some plastics feel cheap but fuel savings win.

    Everything Is Fine with the car. Just one thing i miss in maruti suzuki cars is 6th gear. If it has 6th Gear. Then the drive will be more smooth at 90 or 100. This is the only one thing i miss in this cat. Otherwise its a perfect car in every aspect

    I absolutely love Swift Dzire. It was the first ever new sedan that my dad purchased and brings best value. I was fortunate and blessed enough to buy another dzire for myself and my family and have been enjoying trips with it throughout goa and nearby states

    I feel Swift dezire. Not just budget friendly and saves fuel. This is tried and tested by many taxiwalas across India. I personally drove this (belongs to my cousin). Its Not my favorite. But its my preferred way to load people and luggage. Peace of mind with Maruti's availability across is aNother reason.
