MARUTI SUZUKI DZIRE ₹6.79 lakh to ₹10.14 lakh (ex-showroom)
With that legacy on its shoulders, expectations are naturally high for the fourth-generation Dzire. Maruti Suzuki has invested an impressive Rs 1,000 crore heavily, aiming to elevate the Dzire’s appeal and push it beyond its utilitarian image into a ‘premium’ product proposition. So, does it live up to the brief? We find out!.
Every panel on this fourth-gen Dzire is a bespoke piece, with no hand-me-downs from the latest Swift nor echoes of the previous Dzire. The front has been entirely reimagined with rectangular, jewel-like headlights that lend a certain sophistication. There’s a hexagonal grille featuring five horizontal slats that are broader and proudly sport a blank spot up top for the Suzuki badge to perch. Beneath, the bumper takes on a boxier, more angular form, altogether sharper than before.
Along the sides, a chrome trim subtly elongates the silhouette, complemented by neat, two-tone 15-inch alloys that do their best to suggest a higher segment. At the rear, the restrained Y-shaped LED taillights give it a classy, standalone appearance—no gimmicky light bars here. A discreet chrome strip spans the boot, with a shark fin antenna and small lip spoiler adding just a hint of sporty flair. Altogether, the new Dzire has a maturity to its design, more refined than its predecessors. It sheds the cab image to brush against something more refined, something you might mistake for a European saloon at a glance. Yes, I dare say the new Dzire is Maruti Suzuki’s earnest attempt at rolling out a car that looks the part of a ‘premium’—and not just on the brochure.

IMPRACTICAL YET IRRESISTIBLE
Exactly ten years ago, I took my first international trip. It was to Bahrain, a country of endless desert and skyscrapers, where my aunt and uncle lived. Among their friends and neighbours, one particular gentleman, upon learning I was a budding petrolhead, took an entire day off work to take me around the city’s showrooms to see some “normal” Middle East traffic.
