The upcoming 2024 Maruti Dzire is set to hit the Indian market later this year, hot on the heels of the new-generation Maruti Swift's debut in May 2024. The revamped Dzire is poised to sport a more contemporary design and will come loaded with new features continuing its rivalry with the feature-rich Hyundai Aura. Here's a detailed overview of the enhancements and offerings expected in the 2024 Maruti Dzire, aimed at providing a superior experience compared to its competitors.
Upgraded Infotainment System
A standout feature of the 2024 Dzire is the expected inclusion of a larger, 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system, which surpasses the Hyundai Aura’s 8-inch unit. It is probable that this technology would allow wireless communication for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a feature that is now commonplace in other Maruti models including the Grand Vitara and Baleno.
Sunroof
Adding to its appeal, the new Dzire may feature a single-pane sunroof, a first in the subcompact sedan segment in India, according to reports from recent test mule sightings. This addition would not only enhance the aesthetic appeal but also provide a more open-airy cabin environment.
Heads-up Display (HUD)
The 2024 Dzire is also expected to include a heads-up display, an advanced feature already available in some other Maruti cars like the Baleno. By eliminating the need for drivers to glance away from the road this device improves safety by projecting important driving information right into their field of vision.
360-degree Camera
Another anticipated feature is a 360-degree camera system, which would be segment-first and assist drivers in navigating tight parking spots and crowded city driving conditions. The general maneuverability and safety of the vehicle are improved by this feature.
Blind Spot Detection
Increasing its safety arsenal, the new Dzire might also incorporate blind spot detection. The 2024 Maruti Swift test mules were observed to have this technology which greatly improves on-road safety by assisting the driver in detecting vehicles in their blind zones.
Additional Features
The 2024 Dzire is expected to further bolster its feature list with the addition of a wireless phone charger, six airbags, and a tyre pressure monitoring system, matching and possibly exceeding the offerings found in the Hyundai Aura.
Pricing and Competition
Expected to launch by June 2024, the Maruti Dzire will likely start at a price of Rs 6.70 lakh (ex-showroom), positioning it competitively against the Hyundai Aura, which ranges from Rs 6.49 lakh to Rs 9.05 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). The Dzire will also continue to compete with other notable sedans in the segment such as the Honda Amaze and Tata Tigor aiming to offer a blend of style, technology, and value to Indian consumers.
