Final Takeaway

New Maruti Dzire

The Dzire 2024 is definitely a more value-for-money option compared to the Swift, as it not only gets a similar level of equipment at Rs 10,000 less, but it also offers extra boot-loading capacity. There are a couple of extra features like a bigger touchscreen and cruise control on the Swift ZXi Plus, but it is still not a dealbreaker for the Dzire ZXi. Both Maruti cars however are powered by the same 1.2-litre Z-series 3-cylinder petrol engine. Though both Dzire and Swift offer a smooth and comfortable ride within the city, it’s the Dzire which will be more comfortable on high speed undulations. However, we recommend you test drive both cars before making your final purchase decision.
