Maruti Suzuki India Ltd (MSIL) launched the Dzire facelift in the country on March 20, this year, at a starting price of Rs. 5.89 lakh (ex-showroom). However, before Maruti’s compact sedan could do wonders on the sales charts, a nationwide lockout was imposed. As a result, the carmaker registered 'Zero' sales in the month of April. Though the lockdown has been eased off now, car buyers are not rushing to the dealers to get themselves new cars. Therefore, carmakers are offering discounts on their range, and Dzire has not been kept away from the list. Maruti is currently offering a pretty substantial discount of Rs. 45,000 on the Dzire facelift.
