Swift Dezire

The Dzire is a well-rounded package that is hard to fault. And with the BS6 update, Maruti has also provided a styling update in the form of a revised fascia. Otherwise, the Dzire continues to be a car that drives well, is spacious, comfortable, economical, and has a strong performance. The only drawback could be that the AMT automatic is jerky and the lack of diesel engine could be a bummer for a few buyers. However, we reckon a BS6 oil burner would be available at a later date.

Maruti Suzuki is expected to launch the Dzire facelift in the coming weeks. The model will receive an updated fascia that includes a redesigned front bumper, new hexagon shaped grille with two slats and a chrome border and new fog lamp housings with chrome inserts. Updates to the rear profile of the model remain unknown at the moment although we can expect it to feature a reworked bumper. Also on offer might be new alloy wheels.

The Maruti Suzuki Dzire facelift could be powered by a 1.2-litre K12C DualJet petrol engine that would replace the 1.2-litre K12B petrol engine. The outgoing engine produces 82bhp and 113Nm of torque in its current state of tune. The 1.3-litre diesel motor will be discontinued due to the BS6 emission norms.
