Maruti Suzuki Dzire facelift to be launched soon
The Maruti Suzuki Dzire has started to age quite a bit and looks old when it is compared to its rivals. The Dzire is the highest selling car in its segment and Maruti plans to keep it so with the launch of the facelift. The Dzire has been in production since 2008 and in 2017 the new-gen Dzire was launched. It is expected to get a makeover for this year and the new model will be out soon. The Dzire facelift will get some minor changes on the inside as well as the outside to keep things fresh. Find out below what exactly has been changed.
Dzire facelift Features
On the inside, the car gets a host of new technologies such as ESP and Cruise control, the company’s latest SmartPlay touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and voice recognition along with cloud-based functions as seen in the recently facelifted Vitara Brezza and Ignis.
Dzire facelift changes
The updates will help in expanding the lifecycle of the existing sedan as the exterior gets a refresh along with notable changes inside the cabin. The interior comes with the use of more premium materials including the wooden finish. The design changes are redesigned and bigger front grille, revised fog lamp housing and slightly sharper looking headlamps as you can see in our rendering.
