Maruti Suzuki Dzire Price in India 2026

The new Dzire has moved away from the old 4-cylinder K-Series engine to a more fuel-efficient 3-cylinder Z-Series engine. While it has one less cylinder, it is engineered for better low-end torque, making it much punchier in city traffic. It also features Idle Start-Stop technology to maximize mileage.

The petrol engine delivers 80.46 bhp, while the S-CNG version produces 69.75 bhp. Although the peak power is slightly lower than the previous generation, the engine's efficiency has improved, offering a smoother power band for daily commuting.

The engine provides 111.7 Nm of torque in petrol mode and 101.8 Nm in CNG mode. The Z-Series engine is specifically designed to provide better "pulling power" at lower speeds, reducing the need for frequent gear changes in heavy traffic.

The Dzire offers a choice between a 5-speed Manual and a 5-speed Auto Gear Shift (AGS). The AGS system has been refined in this generation to reduce the "shift-shock" typically associated with AMTs, providing a more seamless transition between gears.

As a compact sedan, the Dzire remains a Front-Wheel Drive (FWD) vehicle. This layout is chosen to keep the car lightweight (approx. 920–960 kg), which is a major factor in its class-leading fuel efficiency.

The Dzire fits perfectly into the sub-4-meter category at 3,995 mm. It features a 2,450 mm wheelbase, which provides surprisingly good legroom for rear passengers. The new design is more "sedan-like" and less like a hatchback with a trunk.

The ground clearance is 163 mm. While this is standard for sedans, you need to be cautious over very large speed breakers when the car is fully loaded with five passengers and luggage.

One of the Dzire’s biggest strengths is its 382-litre boot space. It is deep and wide enough to carry a full set of family suitcases. However, in the CNG variant, the tank occupies a significant portion of this space.

The fuel tank holds 37 litres. Combined with an ARAI-certified mileage of 24.79 kmpl (Manual) to 25.71 kmpl (AMT), the Dzire offers a theoretical driving range of over 900 km on a single tank.

In a major safety move, Maruti now provides 6 airbags as standard even in the base LXi variant. This includes front, side, and curtain airbags, along with Electronic Stability Program (ESP) and Hill Hold Assist.

The 2024–2026 Dzire is the first Maruti Suzuki car to score a 5-star rating for Adult Occupant Protection in Global NCAP. It also scored 4 stars for Child Occupant Protection, making it the safest sedan in its segment.

The new Dzire is the first in its segment to offer a factory-fitted Electric Sunroof. It also comes equipped with a 360-degree HD View Camera, a 9-inch SmartPlay Pro+ touchscreen, and a Wireless Smartphone Charger.
