News & Top StoriesHere Are 5 Advantages The Maruti Dzire 2024 May Have Over The Current Model
The new-generation Maruti Swift is anticipated to be released shortly, followed by the 2024 Maruti Dzire. It is anticipated that the new generation Dzire will have an improved petrol engine, a plethora of new amenities, and a revamped exterior and interior appearance. The main improvements over the current model that the 2024 Dzire is anticipated to bring are listed below.
A brand-new 9-inch touchscreen
A significant upgrade anticipated for the Maruti Dzire of 2024 is the larger 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system. This entertainment system is available with various Maruti vehicles, including the Baleno, Fronx, Grand Vitara, and Jimny. It also supports wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
The 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system that comes standard with the latest Maruti Dzire only supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto when connected via a wire.
Sunroof
Based on internet claims of spy test mules, the next generation Maruti Dzire is anticipated to come with a single-pane sunroof. If reports are accurate, the 2024 Dzire will be the first subcompact sedan in India to come equipped with a sunroof, a feature that is incredibly popular these days, even if it isn’t particularly useful.
A wireless charger
In the 2024 model, wireless smartphone charging may be another new option for the Maruti Dzire. With this feature, there is no longer any need for cables to hang around the center console, which can cause problems when switching gears. This can result in a console experience that is less cluttered when combined with the new entertainment device that has wireless smartphone connectivity.
As Standard, 6 Airbags
The 2024 Maruti Dzire will probably have six airbags as standard equipment on all versions for increased safety. Although the government rule requiring six airbags has not yet been enacted, competitors like Hyundai have already done so, and the next-generation Swift hatchback will also feature them.
New 1.2-litre Z Series Petrol
The new 1.2-liter Z series 3-cylinder petrol engine, which is scheduled to make its Indian debut with the next-generation Swift, will be available in the Maruti Dzire since the two vehicles share mechanical foundations. This engine can generate 112 Nm and 82 PS, and it will probably be available with a 5-speed AMT or a 5-speed manual transmission.
Anticipated Cost & Competitors
It is anticipated that the Maruti Dzire 2024 will go on sale in June 2024, with a starting price of Rs 6.70 lakh (ex-showroom). It will still face competition from the Honda Amaze, Tata Tigor, and Hyundai Aura.
News & Top StoriesMore over half of Maruti’s pending orders are for CNG vehicles.
During a recent investor conference, Maruti Suzuki disclosed that 1.11 lakh CNG vehicles were still pending delivery by the end of the last fiscal quarter (FY). Approximately 2 lakh orders have not yet been fulfilled by the automaker for clients.
Information On The Upcoming Orders
It was also mentioned in the meeting that the Maruti Ertiga MPV accounts for almost 30% of all outstanding CNG orders. Maruti Suzuki’s chief investor relations officer, Rahul Bharti, stated: “One significant vehicle that has a lot of CNG traction in the market is the Ertiga. Therefore, the Ertiga supply constraint is substantially addressed by Manesar’s 100,000 capacity.
More than half of Maruti Suzuki’s CNG sales, according to senior executive officer of sales and marketing Shashank Srivastava, came from the Ertiga back in November 2023.
Toyota has also reinstated reservations for the CNG versions of the Rumion MPV, which is based on the Ertiga.
An update on CNG sales and plans
After shipping about 4.5 lakh CNG models in the previous fiscal year, Maruti now intends to sell about 6 lakh units in the current fiscal year, FY24–25. During the same conference, the automaker confirmed that to fulfill the increasing demand, it intends to increase the production of CNG cars. Maruti conceded that there were some problems with the supply chain, but it also said that things have improved.

Options for Engine and Gearbox

However, dealerships are now receiving the vehicle in some different configurations. There are five main variations of the XUV 3XO available: MX1, MX2, MX3, AX5, and AX7. This post will examine the features and appearance of the XUV 3XO’s mid-spec MX3 model in nine real-world photos.

Nonetheless, the SUV’s bumper design is still the same as previous higher-spec models.
Interior

Its features include an analog instrument cluster, a 4-speaker sound system, a wireless phone charger, a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wired Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto, and a single-pane sunroof. This version boasts all-wheel disc brakes, electronic stability control, six airbags, and rear parking sensors for added passenger protection.
