If you thought compact sedans were being pushed out by SUVs, the all-new 4th Gen Maruti Dzire will make you think again. For years the Dzire has been the go-to option for Indian families – dependable, economical and practical. But with the new 2025 Maruti Dzire ZXI+ model specifically, the company has transformed from simply being “practical” to genuinely “desirable.”
Securing a 5-star safety rating, coming equipped with a sunroof (finally!) and a tech-packed cabin, the all-new Dzire ZXI+ isn’t just a commuter; it’s a statement. Let’s take a closer look at what makes this the talk of the town.
Design: Sophistication Meets Sportiness
The first thing you will realize is that the “swift-with-a-boot” is no more. The new Dzire has its own unique character. The front end features a huge aggressive grille with what Maruti terms LED Crystal Vision Headlamps on either side. They’re not just bright – they make the car look like it’s standing tall with a premium wide stance that simply grabs attention.
Now turn to the side and the two-tone, precision machined aluminum wheels bring a bit of flair. But where the real drama is at the back. 3D Trinity Rear Lamps. These lamps are a crucial design detail and appear contemporary & crisp particularly at night. And yes, there’s a shark-fin antenna on the roof to round out that sleek, sedan profile.
Color Options:
Maruti hasn’t cut corners with the palette. Whether you are after the classy Splendid Silver, the striking Gallant Red or even the dark Bluish Black, there is a color for every character. Nutmeg Brown is my personal favorite – it screams luxury.
Interior & Features: A Tech-Lover’s Paradise
Step inside the ZXI+ variant and you are greeted by a cabin that feels light years above its price point. The beige and black, dual tone dashboard, with silver accents and a wood-finish insert, looks spacious and premium.
The Electric Sunroof is a segment-first for Dzire and truly revolutionizes the cabin experience, illuminating it with the sun.
The highlight is the floating 9-inch SmartPlay Pro+ Infotainment System. It’s buttery smooth and supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Coupled with the Arkamys Surround Sense sound system, your daily commute playlist just got a massive upgrade.
Comfort highlights for the ZXI+ owner:
The convenience and usability of the Suzuki is modern. With the wireless charger you don’t need to deal with tangled cables and parking in tight spots is easier thanks to the 360-degree camera. The cruise control makes long highway drives comfortable. Moreover, Suzuki Connect puts you in the driver’s seat by enabling you to keep an eye on the fuel level, location and more from your smartphone.
Performance: The Efficiency Champion
Under the bodywork is what the car is really about the all new 1.2L Z-Series (Z12E) Petrol Engine. While it now has three cylinders, that shouldn’t scare you away. Maruti has tuned this engine for better low-end torque and driveability in city conditions.
Power: ~82 bhp
Torque: 112 Nm
The fuel economy is where the real magic lies. The AGS (Automatic) variant claims an impressive 24.79 kmpl which is further pushed to 25.71 kmpl by the AGS (Automatic). In an era of ever increasing fuel prices, these figures really are miraculous. The idle start-stop system engages effortlessly to preserve fuel at stoplights.
For city people, the AGS (Auto Gear Shift) in the ZXI+ is crisp and perfectly geared for stop-and-go traffic, so you don’t have to worry about clutch work sans the heavy fuel penalty of traditional automatics.
Safety Features of Dzire ZXI+
The new Maruti Dzire is a 5-Star Global NCAP Safety Rating holder for adult occupants making it a strong safety contender. The remarkable feat dispels earlier worries about its body strength and makes it one of the toughest in its class.
The ZXI+ variant further adds to safety with the following features:
- 6 Airbags: All variants of Kia Seltos come with 6 airbags as standard.
- ESP (Electronic Stability Program) & Hill Hold Assist: Improves traction on slippery surfaces and stops you from rolling backward while moving up hill.
- ISOFIX Child Seat Anchors: A safe way to securely attach child seats.
- TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System): It alerts you in advance for any issues related to tyre pressure to help you prevent inconvenient interruptions.
Maruti Dzire is here with new features to provide you the most hassle-free driving.
