TIL Desk/Business/New Delhi/ Though the Tata Indigo eCS introduced the compact sub-4 metre sedan segment to India, it’s relatively easier to say that the Maruti Dzire perfected it.
One of the best-selling cars for Maruti, the Dzire now enters its third generation and promises to offer more luxury and sophistication that’s unheard and unseen, especially in the compact sedan segment.
Going by just the looks, a lot has changed in the third generation Dzire. Yes, there a lot of design elements borrowed from the new Swift but there are tweaks to the A-pillar. You get a new grille, projector headlights with LED DRLs (on the range-topping Z trim) and LED tail-lights.
There’s chunky 185-section rubber with precision-cut 15-inch alloy wheels (on the top spec Z trim again) that look good but on the lower spec L and V trims you will have to settle with skinny 165-section rubber with steel wheels. Overall, from the side profile, the sedan looks a lot more proportionate than ever.
Not to forget, the generous chrome treatment on the grille, front bumper, window sills and the boot lid.
