The new Maruti Suzuki Dzire, set to launch on 11 November 2024, showcases a complete redesign with updated aesthetics and features.
The sub compact sedan segment which was one of the most popular segments in India has lost its charm with the increasing popularity of SUVs. However,one of the most popular models in the segment, the Maruti Suzuki Dzire aims to bring back the lost charm into the segment with its fourth generation avatar. The 2024 Maruti Suzuki Dzire is set for a launch on November 11 with loads of changes to the exterior and interior along with a enhanced features list and safety credentials.
The 2024 Dzire differs from the older generation models in almost every aspect, starting with the design. While the earlier generations of the Maruti Suzuki Dzire were often referred to as ‘Swift with a boot slapped on’, with the new model, Maruti Suzuki has taken a completely different approach. The 2024 Dzire shares no design elements with the 2024 Maruti Suzuki Swift. With the new model, the ‘Dzire’ has become a standalone product for the company, at least in terms of design.
