The new-generation Maruti Suzuki Dzire sedan is due for its India launch on November 11. It will bring updates in the form of refreshed styling, new features, and the same Z series engine that powers the Swift. Speaking of, there will be two powertrain options upon launch – petrol with either 5-speed MT or AMT and CNG with MT. The former delivers 24.79–25.71km/l, while the latter has a fuel economy of 33.73km/kg, making it more frugal than the previous model. Both are claimed figures.
Under the hood, the new Dzire CNG will get a 69bhp, 1.2-litre three-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine with a factory-installed CNG kit. The torque output will be rated at 102Nm. On one hand, the upcoming Dzire will offer a more fuel-efficient CNG version. But on the other, you can have a more powerful petrol model with 80bhp and 112Nm. The CNG model will be offered in two mid-spec variants: VXi and ZXi, while the petrol-powered Dzire will come in LXi and ZXi+ variants.
