Maruti launched it’s new sedan, Maruti Swift Dzire which is the replacement for Maruti Esteem and the modified (sedan) version of Maruti Swift. With Dzire Maruti takes up the competition in the mid-size car segment. Esteem is replaced with Dzire after it’s successful service of long fourteen years. Esteem had been the most popular mid sized car in the Indian market.
Swift Dzire comes in both 1.3 petrol and 1.3L DDiS Multijet Diesel options. This redesigned version of Swift has more boot room and leg-space. Even though the company claims an over all modification on Swift, the Dzire has just an added boot that makes this new model, that too for an extra expense of Rupees one lakh in 2008.
Comparing with Esteem Dzire comes with so lot of contemporary new features. The available versions of Dzire are Dzire LDi 1248 cc, Diesel, Dzire LXi 1298 cc, Petrol, Dzire VDi 1248 cc, Diesel, Dzire VXi 1298 cc, Petrol, Dzire ZDi 1248 cc, Diesel, and Dzire ZXi 1298 cc, Petrol. All the models are five seater manual transmission.
Dzire is packed with a four cylinder 16 valve engine. The petrol version has SOHC variant and the diesel models come with Multijet DDis/DOHC versions. Fuel distribution system in Dzire is Multipoint injection Common rail. Dzire produces a maximum power of 87 Bhp at 6000rpm and 75Bhp at 4000 rpm. Maximum torque is 113 at 4500rpm and 190 at 2000 rpm. There is a naturally aspirated Air charging system and a fixed geometry turbo charger with inter-cooler. Dzire follows emission BS III.
Wheel Base is 2390mm. The overall length of the car is 4160mm and width 1690mm. The car is fitted with ABS, power steering, fog lamps and automatic climate control systems. The car has added safety features like airbags, abs, collapsible steering, steering audio controls etc.
What makes Dzire different from other models of Maruti is the 400litres of boot space. The top end variant of swift Dzire will also come with class leading luxury features like Auto Temperature Control, new integrated DIN Stereo and an all new 6 spoke alloy wheels.
Maruti Dzire is the cheapest sedan available in the Indian market. This car could rightly be placed as a perfect family car. Even though not as stylish and good looking as Swift, Dzire will be a powerful competitor for mid-sized cars in India. Dzire was introduced to put an end to the successful era of Esteem.
I went to see Swift Dzire, it’s fantastic car, a lot of interrior space improvement from Swift. Boot space is good, Interiors are good, seats are comfortable. I took test drive also , good thing is car has driving comfort + good pickup even when AC is on. Engine is already proven so in my opinion Maruti had got one more winner in there kitty (Fabia, Logan, Fiesta be aware or work on reducing your prices)..
