Despite the SUV craze, the Maruti Dzire remains a top-selling sedan, and in 2024, it’s back in full swing. Looking at the test mules, the new Dzire appears to feature a sunroof for a more airy cabin, something that isn’t seen in the new Swift or any other Maruti car in similar price range.

Set to launch in August 2024, the new Dzire is expected to be priced around the same as the current model.
