New Maruti Dzire VXi Variant Explained In 10 Images

The VXi variant not only offers you the choice of an AMT gearbox, but also brings many additional features over the base-spec LXi

The new-gen Maruti Dzire was launched recently with four broad variants on offer, namely, LXi, VXi, ZXi, and ZXi Plus. It gets a brand new design, many modern features, and a new engine as well. We have already detailed the entry-level LXi variant in images, so let us now take a look at the one-over-base VXi variant with the help of 10 images.

Front

The Maruti Dzire VXi variant, like the entry-level LXi variant, gets a black grille and halogen projector headlights. What is new is that this variant gets a horizontal chrome strip on the grille. However, it does not get LED DRLs or fog lamps.

Side

On the profile, it gets the same 14-inch steel wheels as the LXi variant but has silver covers on them. The outside rearview mirrors (ORVMs) are body coloured and have turn indicators integrated into them rather than having the fender-mounted ones on the base variant. The door handles are body coloured as well. 

Rear

The VXi variant borrows the LED tail lights with Y-shaped lighting elements from the LXi variant which is connected by a black strip with horizontal chrome inserts. While there is no rear parking camera, it does get rear parking sensors. A rear defogger and shark-fin antenna are also being offered.
