Nope I have not got my hands on the Maruti Dzire[swift sedan].I am not amongst those lucky few.However the reviews of the Maruti Dzire are out and the one from thehindubusinessline is quite detailed.
From the review what can be concluded is that though you will get the features of the SX4,the dzire will remain its baby brother.The dzire may after all not be a threat to the SX4.Rear legroom is just the same as the swift and only the angle of the seat has been adjusted.Maruti have not offered a beige trim and an upmarket kind of feel to the interiors mostly to avoid clashes with the SX4.NVH too is on the higher side.Maruti has tried its best to ensure a difference between the SX4 and the Dzire by making sure the SX4 feel more of an upmarket choice compared to the Dzire and I must say I did jump the gun and proclaim an early death for the SX4.However let me still see the car personally and then I will take a final call.
Maruti have made rear visibility better which was one of the main complaints of the Swift hatch.The addition has not affected turning radius or ground clearance and extra weight is only 30 kg so the dzire should give more or less the same mileage as the swift hatchback and drive should also be exactly the same which is a good thing since the swift hatch is one fun to drive car.
Beauty lies in the hand of the beholder,however the review suggests it may take some time for us to accept the looks of the Dzire.For the front Maruti has given a chrome grill which is not present in the Swift hatch.There is lavish use of chrome on the boot too and so also the instrument cluster which has a white backlight unlike the orange on the swift hatch.
The all important pricing issue,the cheapest variant LXi[petrol] should be priced at around Rs.4.5 lakhs while the top end ZDi[diesel] should be priced at around Rs.6.2 lakhs.Prices mentioned are ex-showroom New Delhi prices.Even though the Zdi does have all the bells and whistles it is not exactly cheap and I expect the Vdi[diesel] variant to be the most popular.However let me warn you there is going to be a huge waiting list for this car and you may have to wait for quite a long while before you could own one.
Oh and the answer to the mileage[FE] kya hai question?The most conservative figures suggest 14kmpl in city and 19 kmpl on highways[for the swift dzire diesel] and this is no record run I am talking about.These are figures you and I can achieve.
Looking at the prices Maruti does have a winner in its hands,now the question is only how fast can I get my car.

yes, I visted the site today and found out about the launch webcast. So I quickly registered for the same.
The car looks bad, i drove it, test drive report can be read on http://thecarsandmore.blogspot.com/
Good review. I also took a test drive and loved the car. It is definitely my next car.
I have booked a Maruti Dzire Vdi ( matallic clear Beize ) in April first week and i m going to get delivery in september. If anyone interested in Dzire VDI, then delivery can be done in his name with very nominal premium.

Hi all,
I am not a regular comment poster on websites. But I would really take a chance to do now, after owing a swift dzire Petrol version or rather say Lxi. I know this will not be so much meaningful to those who owns this car, but gonna certainly help those who are planning to purchase a dzire or a sedan car.
Believe me! this is one of the vehicle in market which competely justifies your money. I am sure within this much of Budget, you cant get this kind of luxury, comfort and a pride to drive a sedan car thats too from the biggest brand of India. I did a lot of research at least for an year which was very painful to hold on for such a long time, but it really paid off, once I decided to go for dzire. I am the one who knows the specification of all the sedan models now in market in, but relax i am not gonna run you through long comparing data in terms of different parameters rather I will suggest you in a final senetence GO FOR DZIRE..It doesnt matter which version you perfer or suits to your need(Lxi, Vxi, Zxi, Ldi, Vdi, Zdi)..JUST GO FOR IT.
I had got my dream car from MAGIC AUTO, Delhi. Metalic Silver. And I really appreciate Magic Auto for providing me this car in record time of 15 days from booking. They even said that if my loan would have approved before this, they would have delievered the car before this time . Wonderful..You can talk to Kanchan the Sales executive there.
I really feel good to be an owner of DZIRE.
