Read on to learn more about what exactly has changed on the 2020 Maruti Suzuki Dzire facelift compared to the pre-facelift version. 

Powertrain and transmission

 MARUTI SUZUKI DZIRE New BS6 emission norms have left a deep impact on the auto industry in India. Many manufacturers have pulled the plug on their diesel offerings. Maruti Suzuki is one of them.

  • MARUTI SUZUKI DZIRE The only engine option available now is the new gasoline engine. This engine is a naturally aspirated 1.2-liter DualJet VVT. This is a significant improvement as the old Dzire gets a 1.2-liter petrol engine.
  • MARUTI SUZUKI DZIRE  new engine produces 90ps @ 6,000rpm and 113Nm @ 4,400rpm power and torque respectively. Power stats are significantly higher than the old engine (83ps @ 6,000).
  • MARUTI SUZUKI DZIRE  new BS6 engine comes with Suzuki's standard start-stop function that increases the mileage of the vehicle.
  • Although the car has only one engine option, there are two transmission options. The car comes with either a 5-speed manual transmission or you can also opt for a 5-speed AMT (Automated Manual Transmission).

Exterior Design

While the dimensions of the Sub-4M sedan have remained unchanged, Maruti Suzuki has updated the front-end of the car to make it look bold and effective. The small rectangular radiator grille of the pre-facelift model has been replaced for a much larger cascading unit with chrome outlining.

Interiors

The Dzire does not have a light-hybrid system with a separate lithium-ion battery, but Maruti claims a fuel efficiency of 23.26kmpl which is lower than the Baleno Smart Hybrid. The engine can be mated to a 5-speed manual or 5-speed auto gear shift (AGS) automated manual (AMT) automatic transmission.

The 2017 Dzire BS6 was equipped with a 1.2-liter K12B petrol engine and BS4 1.3-liter DDiS diesel. The latter claimed fuel economy of 27kmpl and 190Nm torque, making for a porous but economical Desire. Since the diesel was not updated to the BS6, both engines have been replaced with the K12C DualJet petrol engine.
