The upcoming 2024 Maruti Suzuki Dzire is expected to bring several exciting new features and increase its appeal in the subcompact sedan segment. The launch date is not known, but the launch will take place only after the launch of the new Swift in May 2024. The new Dzire will feature an improved cabin with modern comfort and convenience features as well as enhanced safety features that are expected to increase its appeal in the Indian market.
Let’s explore five key features that the 2024 Dzire is expected to offer over the current model:
sunroof
The new Dzire will be equipped with a sunroof, as recent spy shots confirm. This addition is aimed at buyers who are looking for a car with a sunroof without putting a strain on their budget. However, only a single-pane sunroof is expected in this price range. When launched, the Dzire will be the first car in its segment to feature a sunroof.
Larger 9-inch touchscreen
The current 7-inch device will be replaced by a 9-inch touchscreen device. This upgraded infotainment system features wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay capabilities as well as connected car technology. The cabin layout of the new Dzire will be similar to other Maruti models like the Fronx and the Baleno. However, it will have its own color scheme.
360 degree camera
Some sources suggest that the upcoming Dzire may also feature a 360-degree camera system. This advanced camera system allows the driver to easily park the car and maneuver in tight spaces. Currently, Maruti models like the Baleno, Brezza and Grand Vitara come with the 360-degree camera setup.
6 airbags
Safety is significantly increased by the Dzire 2024’s standard equipment with six airbags. This is in line with the industry trend of offering six airbags across all vehicle ranges. Recently, buyers’ awareness of purchasing safer cars has increased.
Wireless phone charger
The 2024 Dzire will also offer a wireless charger, another convenience feature. This feature eliminates the need for USB charging ports and provides smartphone users with a hassle-free charging experience.
It is unclear whether the engine and transmission options will be updated on the 2024 Dzire. The car is currently sold with a single engine option: a 1.2-litre NA petrol engine producing 90bhp and 113Nm of torque. Transmission options include a 5-speed manual or 5-speed AMT. The Dzire is also offered in CNG variants with a manual transmission only. However, the power in CNG is reduced to 77 hp and 98.5 Nm.
With these modern features, the upcoming Dzire promises a more premium and desirable driving experience than its older versions. We can expect a slightly higher price than the current model, starting at Rs 6.56 lakh (ex-showroom). Once launched, the upgraded Dzire will compete with the Hyundai Aura, Honda Amaze and Tata Tigor in the subcompact sedan segment.
2024 Maruti Swift
The 2024 Maruti Suzuki Swift is scheduled to launch on May 9. Recently, there was an unexpected price hike of ₹25,000 for the current 2023 Swift model in India. This price increase is unusual because automakers typically cut prices on existing models to clear inventory before introducing new models. In addition, the 2024 Swift will feature a new design and a 1.2-liter gasoline engine with modifications such as LED lights and new alloy wheels. It will miss certain features available in international versions, such as the 12V mild hybrid system and All-Grip four-wheel drive.
