<p></p><p>1) All new 3rd generation car in 9 years, not all Maruti Suzuki cars are replaced with new generation so quickly. Based on all new platform, and is new inside out.</p><p>2) Dzire diesel is India's most fuel efficient car (28.4 kmpl and has segment best fuel efficiency in petrol (22.0 kmpl). Excellent 1.2 litre petrol and the now-famous 1.3 litre diesel carried forward. </p><p>3) Segment first: ISOFIX mounts on rear seats. This along with dual airbags and ABS+EBD are standard across all the variants. Plus, segment first LED projector headlights are all new and are automatic with follow-me-home/lead-me-to-vehicle function. LED rear lights are standard across the range.</p><p>4) AMT is available on all the variants except base trim for both, petrol and diesel engines. Excellent move to offer 3 trims with automatic transmission. AMT was a technology brought to the Indian mass market by Maruti Suzuki.</p><p>5) As per the company, Dzire is compliant with the upcoming crash safety norms for India. Despite the gain in chassis strength, the diesel base trim will be lighter than its predecessor by 95 kgs. and petrol would be lighter by 85 kg. vis-a-vis the current car.</p><p>6) Despite similar length as outgoing car, the cabin space has increased, width is up by 40mm while wheelbase up to 20mm. Much increased cabin space while boot space has increased to 376 litres from 316 litres.</p><p>7) 15" Precision/Diamond cut alloys look stunning. We may add that they look premium and uplifts the Dzire's stance. &nbsp;New flat bottom steering wheel with wooden inserts. Overall design of dashboard is more angular as opposed to rounded ones in outgoing car. Looks much better and in tune with the segment this car belongs to.

</p><p>8) For higher trims, Z and Z+, only space saver is available, not a full size spare. &nbsp;</p><p>9)&nbsp;Touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto available. However, we'd have appreciated 6 airbags on the top variant like Ford's Aspire. 

</p><p>10) Catch this: The more premium Ciaz, now sold through Nexa-Channel, doesn’t have adjustable rear headrests, but Dzire gets it.&nbsp;</p><p></p>
