Maruti Dzire Timeline

The Dzire was first introduced in 2008 and carried the ‘Swift’ prefix, since it was an extended version of the hatchback. It was a spacious 4.2-metre long offering which was well accepted by private as well as commercial buyers. The second-generation model was launched in 2012, where it was reduced to a sub-4-metre sedan, a budding segment at the time.
