Your Guide To The 2020 Maruti Suzuki Dzire’s Variants And Features

Maruti Suzuki has launched the 2020 Dzire in India, and it is available in four variants -- Lxi, Vxi, Zxi, and Zxi+. The carmaker has removed the 1.3-litre diesel engine from its lineup for the BS6 era. The 2020 Dzire is a petrol-only sedan powered by a 1.2-litre Dualjet engine.
