The design is entirely different from the current model, and it doesn’t even appear like the Swift like the models from the previous generation. The new Dzire has a flat canopy up front with faint folds at each corner. It has sleek “Crystal vision” headlights with blacked-out surrounds, reminiscent of Audi. With five horizontal slats and a piano black finish on the topmost panel with a chrome strip, the hexagonal grille is larger. More curved features are added to the doors and fenders in profile, and the alloy wheel design is new as well; higher types have a diamond-cut pattern. The new Dzire has a square tail-lamp design with “3D Trinity LED elements” at the back. The bootlid design and bumper look similar to the predecessor’s, save for some new contouring lower down on the bumper.
Design and Features
Although the general appearance is similar to that of the Swift hatchback, it has more colors and textures rather than the Swift’s black and silver color scheme. The dashboard is completed with silver trimmings, dark brown imitation wood, and beige upholstery. Along with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connection and connected car capabilities, it has the same 9-inch Smartplay Pro Plus device seen on many other Marutis. Higher models now available with a factory-installed single-pane sunroof, which is a first for the Dzire and the small sedan market. The new Dzire also has a 360-degree camera, rear AC vents, a rear center armrest, and cruise control.
