Auto Desk, New Delhi: India has been waiting for an affordable sedan for quite some time, and while there are several options available in this segment, Maruti Dzire 2024 has always been the most popular choice. People have been eagerly awaiting an update to this car, and on November 11, the company launched the new 2024 Maruti Dzire facelift in India. This updated model has been launched with several exciting features that are making headlines.
The most notable aspect of the new Dzire (2024 Maruti Dzire) is that it is the first car from Maruti to achieve the best rating in the Global NCAP crash test. Additionally, it is the first in its segment to come with features like a sunroof and a 360-degree camera, making it even more appealing to customers.
Maruti’s First Steel-Strong Car- Maruti Dzire 2024
Maruti cars are well-known for their reliable engines and mileage, but safety has often been a weak point for the brand. Many of Maruti’s cars have failed to achieve a 3-star rating in crash tests, leading to criticism from experts regarding safety. However, with the new Dzire, the company has addressed all previous shortcomings. Before the launch, Global NCAP conducted a crash test on the Dzire, and it performed remarkably well. The car received a 5-star rating for adult protection and a 4-star rating for child protection. In the test, the Dzire scored 31.24 out of 34 for adult protection and 39.20 out of 42 for child protection. The car offers excellent safety for both the driver and passengers, and it showed promising results in side-impact tests as well. The starting ex-showroom price of the new Maruti Dzire is ₹6.79 lakh.

The design of the new Dzire is completely different from the previous model. It now features a larger grille, rectangular LED headlights, redesigned fog lamps, and a chrome strip with Y-shaped LED taillights at the rear. The top variant comes with 15-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels and DRLs (Daytime Running Lights) in the tail lamps. The sedan has a wheelbase of 2,450 mm and a ground clearance of 163 mm.
