Maruti Suzuki will reveal prices for the next-generation Dzire in India on November 11. The compact sedan is expected to make a significant impact on the segment with its unique design and functionality. It is speculated to be equipped with a Z-series 3-cylinder petrol engine that debuted on the new Swift in May. Bookings for the car are currently underway for a token amount of Rs 11,000, while prices are expected to start around Rs 6.70 lakh (ex-showroom). Upon its launch, the new Dzire will compete against the Honda Amaze (also due for a makeover).

The upcoming Dzire has several distinguishing design elements such as a large grille with multiple horizontal slats, sleek LED headlamps (with integrated DRLs), and a revamped fog lamp housing, according to the official teaser and spy images.

For now, Maruti Suzuki has not confirmed any details, but the car is expected to have an updated steering wheel, a 9-inch freestanding touchscreen display, and a dashboard similar to the new Swift.

The gearbox options include a 5-speed manual and an AMT. For the uninitiated, Maruti Suzuki launched the CNG variant of the Swift in India in September. The petrol engine paired with a factory-installed CNG kit produces 69bhp and 101.8Nm. While there is no confirmation, the Dzire may also offer a CNG option, similar to its hatchback counterpart.
