The Maruti Suzuki Dzire remains a popular sedan in India, consistently ranking among the top-selling cars. Sales increased in 2024, even with the introduction of the fourth generation model featuring a new engine and updated features.
There is one model that has maintained the sedan flag flying high, despite the fact that the sedan class is losing ground to the SUV market, which is becoming more and more competitive. It's the Maruti Suzuki Dzire, of course. The Dzire consistently ranks in the top 10 cars sold in India each month, regardless of how well the sedan class does.
For comparison, Maruti sold 14,694 Dzires in February 2025 and 15,383 units in January 2025. Sales of the Dzire increased to 1,67,988 units in 2024 from 1,57,522 units in 2023. Despite the automobile going through a complete generation transition, which often results in a decline in sales, there was rise in 2024.
The fourth generation of the Maruti Suzuki Dzire was introduced in November of last year. With prices ranging from Rs 6.84 lakh to Rs 10.19 lakh (ex-showroom), it is a direct competitor of the Hyundai Aura, Honda Amaze, and Tata Tigor.
