The Maruti Dzire competes with compact sedans like the Hyundai Aura, Tata Tigor and Honda Amaze, which is also due to get a major update soon.

Maruti Suzuki has launched the all-new Dzire. Now in its fourth generation, the new Dzire is available in four variants: LXi, VXi, ZXi and ZXi+, with prices starting at Rs 6.79 lakh (ex-showroom).

The new Dzire gets a 2-tone interior. The dashboard has a layered design with faux wood trim and a 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system in the centre. The car comes with a 3-spoke steering and a conventional twin-dial instrument cluster. Other features include wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, cruise control, rear AC vents, an electric sunroof, and a 360-degree camera.
