Current-gen Maruti Dzire spotted with Dzire Tour badges

Maruti Suzuki will be introducing the new-gen Dzire in India in the next few months. We had earlier reported that once the new model is launched, Maruti might discontinue the current Dzire Tour and replace it with the current-gen Dzire. A new spy shot has now surfaced on the Internet, showing the current model with the Dzire Tour badges, thus cementing the earlier reports.

When the current-gen model was launched in 2012, Maruti started selling the previous, first-gen Dzire as the Dzire Tour. It is sold exclusively to the fleet operators and can be opted only with commercial registration plates. Now, once the new-gen iteration is here, the present Dzire Tour will become two-generations old and will thus be too outdated to be on sale. As a result, Maruti appears to be planning to replace it with the current, sub-4m model.

The new Dzire Tour will likely continue to be offered with the same 1.2-litre petrol and 1.3-litre diesel engines that currently power the regular Dzire. Additionally, a company fitted CNG kit might also be offered as an option for taxi fleet operators.
