Maruti Dzire has been the highest-selling sedan in the country since time immemorial. The Swift-based compact sedan, which rivals the likes of Hyundai Aura and Honda Amaze, recently lost its diesel engine variant owing to the manufacturer’s decision to stop selling oil-burner-equipped vehicles in the BS6 era. However, in order to help the car maintain its popularity, it has now been equipped with a more potent engine and some styling tweaks.
The 2020 Maruti Dzire facelift comes with a revised front fascia, more features and a new engine with higher power output and fuel efficiency.
