Exterior

 Not very attractive as compared to old swift dezire. Old dezire was a long car with a satisfaction of driving and comfort.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Not much comfortable as space is less.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Should be good as maruti suzuki is a brand which established itself on the fuel economy and engine performance.

Ride Quality & Handling

 Ride quality should be average.

Final Words

 May be this car not able to capture the eye of those aspirants who were looking to buy swift dezire. I had personally waited for more than three months but finally when it came in new version, I was dissappointed and cancelled my booking and opted for another diesel car with faster delivery . We are however can not wait for so long and ultimately need to fulfill our desires. I had always driven maruti suzuki car but this time i felt that maurti suzuki is not interested to take care of the customers and had taken it for granted that customers will buy the car without any thinking.

it is good fuel economy car but presently at the same comparable price(with slightly higher price), you may get cars of the other brand.

Final Words

It was a Very Good CAA...R BUT now it is not a choice. I Have Swift VXI and I was planned for upgrade in 2014  for Swift Dezire ZDI BUT now it's not my choice anymore rather I would like to go for Hundai VERNA 1.4 Diesel. I hope that Maruti will think about it and will produce old Dezire once again to the people of India. Afterall it was the first aim of Maruti when it take birth.

 

Areas of improvement  

 Should present back the old Model Swoft Dezire.

New Model is no more Dezire for anybody.

 

PerformanceSize and boot space and look changed due to that in new model.

Exterior Looks Bad worse and worst.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Comfortable sitting seats support the thigh.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Good, gear is light. should have been upgraded to 6 gears.

Ride Quality & Handling Good.

Final Words Check out other car like sunny, rapid, verna and feista etc prior to book for desire.

Areas of improvement Make it a hatch back just like shape of Audi Q 3 of 3995 mm lenght. it wil be a top city long hatchback.Maruti suzuki is going down n down in near future. They have to provide qualityin auto sector. Outsiders are producing far better than maruti. Maruti is selling its name which will get drowned in the see of outsider multinationals.

Maruti should add some extra to keep the markets. Its waiting has gone down for swift from 09 months to 01 month. and for desire the waiting has gone down to 03 to 04 months from roughly 10-12 months for the older version.

fuel efficiency, interior and front lamp nad rear lightbad looks. too small a sedan. Better to be in shape of hatchback with 3995 lenght.

Exterior Stunning look in new design.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Very good and excellent interior

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Good engine performance, fuel economy is also good, gearbox is not as good as of hyundai.

Ride Quality & Handling Good.

Final Words Last month I have purchased Maruti Swift DZire VDI, and fealing proud to have this vehicle, before that I was driving hyundai i10. Till date I have driven the car for 600 km only and presently the vehicle is giving an avg of 18km/L, even before its first servicing. And hope it will increase after 1st and 2nd servicing. The painfull thing is waitting period for this particular vehicle. Dealers generaly gives the waitting period for five to six  months, but most of the time it takes more than that. The cost of vehicle also increases with time and one has to pay more than whay they have thought during their booking. Dealers  not giving any benifite to buyers of this model whereas a lot on offer for models.

Areas of improvement The gearbox is not as smooth as i10, which I am also driving along with Dzire.

EverythingWaiting time

Exterior Really good and well balanced.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Recently i found in a study that dzire and swift gives the best interior in this cost range.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox is really silent and powerful.

Ride Quality & Handling Superb.

Final Words I feel like, every one can buy a car by seeing it, touching it, feeling it and test riding it. So once you buy one, u just love it. You know tht its boot is bit smaller. and know why they did it. But at 6.5 lakhs, in zxi, you get almost all features of a new generation car. My Policy is simple. If u dont like it, keep away from it, but if u buy, it just adore it. I am like a person who is waiting for the marriage day. I hve chosen dzire with all its pros and cons. Now she is simply going to be the most important member of our family. All the very bests.

Areas of improvement NA.

Its simply a beauty...old dzire ws a hectic makeover of swift, but Dzire 2012 is a beautyMusic system culd hve been better

Exterior Before buying this car, u know that u r buying a notch back car..so nobody should complaint for it's trimmed boot. That trimmed boot itself making price of this car so attractive. Overall, nice flow in exterior styling. Big & bright head & tail lamps. Nice chrome on boot lit & revamped front grill gives this car a distinctive look that narmal swift.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Good duel tone baige intreiors with nice placement of factory fitted music system. Musis system is of good quality but it lacks the dedicated switch for ON/OFF.

Only down side of baige is, it gets dirty very quickly & need to clean u r car periodically to keep up to the mark. 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is swift enough to handle city traffic & highway runs. As it is tunned for fuel economy, may not be sporty but yes it delivers the thing for which it is designed. i.e. best in class fuel economy. I myself is getting ~15-16 KMPL in Mumbai's city traffic & ~18-20 KMPL on highways. Gear box is one area where this car need to improve. It may be problem with my model but yes, its not smooth enough in this class.

Ride Quality & Handling Its appropriate for this class of car. Easy to handle & steer due to short length.

Final Words I am proud owner of this car after driving it for 1 year & ~4000 KMs. No regreats at all.

Areas of improvement Gear box should be refined.

Excellent Fuel Economy, InteriersNothing

Exterior Personally I like the looks of the new dzire as compared to the older version. Sharp looks from behind with traditional swift looks from the front gives a pleasant view. Although the edges could have been more sharper similar to SAIL sedan but overall the exterior looks good. Given the various choices of colour i feel Pacific Blue looks the best in this car although it is difficult to maintain this colour. Headlights are ok in terms of lighting but could have been better. Sadly most of the maruti cars does not have great head lamps in terms of lighting.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Feautures are good given the price. Easy to access audio controls through the steering mounted controls. AC is very powerful and may be the best in class. The colour mix of black and biege looks very good inside the car and gives a premium feel. The interior lighting also looks great especially when your are driving at night with console illumination on. Front is quite spacious but the rear is not that spacy. Great driving view in this car and you can see the entire road by using the driver seat adjustment. Music System is not that great, may be Maruti should bring in better Nippon models for this car.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Felt turbo lag while driving. People at the service station say since it is only 1200 kms driven car, the engine will open up after 5000 kms. Gear transmission is very smooth apart from first gear which feel tight sometimes (but not always..may be due to newness). Currently getting a mileage of 17 kmpl with 50% AC on. The car does great in control especially in city considering the size of the car. Diesel engine does make some noise but willing to live with it given its performance. Engine runs very smoothly and has been tuned perfectly. Rear view while parking is unsatisfactory and needs a reverse parking camera. The rear view mirror can be bigger.

Ride Quality & Handling Best ride feel as compared to other. Test driven i20 before booking this car. Better than Hyundai hatchback and Manza as well. Smooth transmission especially from 2nd gear. Handling is the best in this segment. You can easily zigzag within city traffic with the power steering. 5 stara in ride quality and handling. Braking with EBS is great and goes very well with the alloys wheels. 

Final Words As always, great VFM car from Maruti given the pricing. Must buy if you have a budget of 8 - 8.5 L (on road). Other versions are cheaper. People have complained about boot being smaller. I dont find a problem with my home - office - home daily travel.

Areas of improvement Build quality is not that great. Was banged slightly from behind by a Wagon R. Got a small crack in the bumper. Need to improve. However, the cost is replacement of the bumper is very less hence no worries. Dealer service  in Delhi NCR is not so great. Took my vehicle for service. Pathetic service (Motorcraft Sahibabad). Better get servicing done from a reputed dealer. 

One word of caution - This is not a great car for speeding on road, zipping etc, drive it with love and you will great driving comfort and maintenance.

Exterior I have driven VDI about 400  KM I found its performance quite well, Mileage 20 Km, Suspensions are also quite well and comfortable, Head lights and fog lights also quite well and dashing, luggage space is satisfactory, Blinkers on Side mirros look pretty as well as makes better safety.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) AC is not quite well, all interiors are quite well Seats are very comfortable, side miror aduster mobe is amazing.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine performance is quite well but a little bit noisy but I have not felt any noise inside.

Ride Quality & Handling Riding is very comfortable  and very smooth on City conditions and quite comfortable in hilly areas. I have driven this car even on hilly roads I found it quite comfortable. Its features like side mirror adjuster, glass holder and especially in rear seat arm rest is amaging.

Final Words I think Maruti Swift Dzire is better than Honda Amage If I have to choose between I must choose Dzire.

Areas of improvement Dezire needs Improvement in Ac Performance and side mirors should be auto open as in the I20.

Good Fuel economyRear Spoler

Exterior To be improved no style like other sedan class,Maruthi not concentrating on look.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interior is good comparatively other cars with same price especialy power windows controls. Superb interior loved it. One of the best interiors with beige interiors all over.Maruthi Swift dzire has got one the the best interiors ever. Really good and comfortable seats too.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine performance is good in dezire ,fuel economy also good,gearbox is always excellent in Marathi cars.Less engine noise compared to other diesel cars.

Ride Quality & Handling I took the test drive today, overall car is good. Max Speed that I drove was 130kmph and still the car was very stable. I usually drive at a speeed between 60 to 80.

Final Words Slightly over priced but Good car for family of 5. Vdi with fully loaded accessories with 8 lakhs in sedan is really nice.

Areas of improvement Side view style not impressed also music player panel not looking good. Boot space is less.

Interior is good compared to other cars in same priceBoot space ,side view
