Introduction: A Trusted Name, Reimagined for 2025
The Maruti Dzire is an old name in the Indian automobile market. Launched in 2008 as the Swift Dzire, the car has become the choice of every household—from family use to taxi service and corporate fleet.
In 2025, the new avatar of this iconic sedan by Maruti Suzuki is going to mix modern design and high-tech features with fundamental attributes of reliability, great mileage, and low maintenance. The Dzire 2025, keeping in mind the changing expectations of new-age buyers, is bound to impress the old loyal customers but is also set to be enticing for first-time car buyers.
Design: More grown-up and more premium.
The first thing that strikes you about Dzire 2025 is the new exterior styling. Never has this car looked more balanced and full. It sports an open wide hexagonal grille with chrome slats -adding a strong and premium feel to the car.
Sleek headlamps now sport DRLs in LEDs (previously reserved for more expensive models). The bumper from which one must now look very closely gets fog lamps with chrome housing.
From a side profile, it carries the three-box silhouette slightly better than before, with a very sharp character line running across the body making it look dynamic. At the rear, new flourishes to the tail-lamps now see them being integrated into the trunk lid as well enhancing that premium look.
The top variants come with dual-tone alloy wheels measuring 15 inches, while the lower variants come with steel wheels measuring 14 inches. Now available are exciting new colors like “Splendid Silver” and “Luxe Beige”.
Interior: A great combination of quality and technology
Stepping inside, one is bound to feel the biggest leap forward in the Dzire 2025. The new dashboard now has a more horizontal layout, which is not only better visually but also looks better organized.
The new 9-inch free-standing touchscreen infotainment system (in ZXi and ZXi+ variants) comes equipped with now: wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Plus, the car is now connected to accessing the internet through the Suzuki Connect feature.
This semi-digital instrument cluster also gets a new 7-inch wide digital display right between the speedometer and tachometer. There is now better comfort in seating, the most extreme of which is found in the rear bench that now comes with better thigh support.
These include high-contrast beige upholstery with coordinating stitching in the top models and darker fabric seats in the bottom variants, which are more practical for everyday use. Also offered are rear passengers in adjustable headrests; rear AC vents, folding armrests, and beverage holders.
Engine and performance: Economy with performance
The new Dzire 2025 continues to be powered by a 1.2-litre K-series dual-jet petrol engine, now enhanced to meet the latest emission standards. The engine generates 90PS of rated power and 113Nm of peak torque.
The latest addition to this collection, however, is that Maruti will also now offer its strong hybrid system in the top variants, previously seen only in the Grand Vitara and Invicto. Thus now this thing can operate fully electrically in slow conditions, which greatly enhances mileage.
It has the smoothest CVT automatic attached to the hybrid variant instead of the AMT one. The rest of the variants include a combination of options available with a 5-speed manual and AMT. In ramp and lower segment CNG variants, the systems will continue to be available for buyers, but they are not associated with the hybrid.
Ride and handling: A better balance of comfort and stability
The 2025 Dzire will be underpinned by an evolved HEARTECT platform from Maruti, scrutinized further. A McPherson strut handles the unit’s suspension up front, while a torsion beam suspension occupies the rear, all tuned toward a smoother ride.
Potholes and speed bumps on city roads are better handled now. And on highways, the car feels better stable. Steering is now lighter but weights up as the speed increases, giving confidence in handling.
The level of noise, vibration, and harshness improvement has also raised. The improvement is mostly felt in the hybrid variant since its electric motor operates silently at lower speeds.
Safety features: More secure now
Big strides have been covered in safety. Now any Dzire variant comes with 6 airbags, electronic stability control (ESC), hill hold assist, and ABS with EBD as standard.
The top variants also get such features as the tire pressure monitoring system, automatic headlamps, rain-sensing wipers, and driver alertness monitor. As claimed by Maruti, the car should have the capability of fetching a 4-star rating as per the new Global NCAP crash test protocol.
Features and Technology: A step higher
The Dzire is no longer an inexpensive car, but has also moved upscale in terms of future features. Features like a nine-inch touchscreen, wireless connectivity, remote functions using the Suzuki Connect app, navigation, and vehicle tracking are now included.
Comfort features also include automatic climate control, keyless entry, push start, ORVMs operated electromechanically, and the adjustment of the driver’s seat to a specific height.
