From the above comparison, it’s clear that at Rs 21,000 less, the 2024 Maruti Dzire VXi MT is well-equipped for its price. However, there are a few compromises like non-LED headlight setup and a little less boot space. Also, the Dzire makes 8 PS less than the Amaze on paper, but the former has a higher claimed fuel efficiency. The Amaze V, on other hand, has all the necessary and some good-to-have features, including an 8-inch touchscreen with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, manual AC, all four power windows, and 6 airbags. Its exterior highlights include LED projector headlights and LED tail lights.
