Maruti begins production of the Dzire facelift

Spy pictures courtesy Gaadiwaadi indicate that production for the facelift version of Maruti's compact sedan - Dzire has already begun. The Dzire will continue to be produced at Maruti's Manesar plant in Haryana.

After 2 years of its launch in 2012, Maruti will give the Dzire a minor refresh which might include a revised front face with a new chrome grill (as per our previous article) and new 10 spoke alloy wheels. The Dzire facelift might also get added equipment such as a start stop button to match its feature loaded rivals.

Till date the Dzire sales have remained unfazed even after the introduction of its core competitors such as the Honda Amaze, Hyundai Xcent and Tata Zest. The Dzire has been dominating the compact sedan segment, with average monthly sales of 17659 units while its closest rival - Honda Amaze manages to average less than half that number.
