The design is new and features several new elements. The black grille is larger and wider than before, with a piano black stripe above it. The crystalline LED headlights and fog lamp housings are also new. Top trims ride on 15-inch machine-cut alloy wheels. The Dzire will be offered in four trims: LXi, VXi, ZXi and ZXi+. The roof line has also been reprofiled and the sides feature strong character lines. The LED tail lamps have also been revised and feature a triangular design seen on several other cars before. A chrome strip connects the tail lamps and overall the rear profile is more upright than before. Dimension-wise, the Dzire remains the same as its predecessor, with a height increase of 10mm. The wheelbase stands at 2,450mm.
The cabin has been comprehensively updated. The seat fabric is finished in beige. The dashboard has been borrowed from the new Swift, with a faux wood panel in the middle. In terms of features, the range-topping trim of the Swift will get a sunroof, 9-inch SmartPlay Pro infotainment with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity, keyless entry, cruise control, 4.2-inch MID on the driver display, Arkamys stereo system, automatic climate control and auto folding ORVMs. Rear seat passengers get dedicated USB charging points, AC vents, adjustable headrests and armrests.
