Maruti Suzuki has finally unveiled the highly anticipated new Dzire in India, boasting an impressive array of features, a revamped design, and a new engine. The biggest talking point, however, is its **5-star safety rating**, a first for the popular sedan.
The new Dzire is available in four variants: LXi, VXi, ZXi, and ZXi+. It comes packed with features like an electric sunroof (a first in its segment), a 360-degree camera, a 9.0-inch touchscreen system, an ARKAMYS surround sound system, LED headlamps, and a semi-digital instrument cluster.
Safety is paramount in the new Dzire, with **6-Airbags, ABS + EBD, and ESP now standard across all variants.**
Maruti is offering the new Dzire with a new Z-series 1.2-litre, 3-cylinder NA petrol engine, borrowed from the new Swift. The engine produces 81 bhp and 112 Nm of peak torque, and is available with both manual and automatic transmissions (AMT) for the petrol variant. A CNG version is also available, but only with a manual transmission.
The new safety features and impressive set of upgrades raise the question: **Is the new Dzire priced at a premium?** To find out, check out the on-road prices for the top 7 cities in India [insert table with prices here].
