Maruti Suzuki Dzire has been the best-selling sub-4m compact sedan in the country for the longest time. Over 27 lakh units of the Dzire have been sold to date. The car is now introduced in the Indian market in its 4th-gen avatar with a slew of changes, to give a tougher fight to its rivals. The Honda Amaze rival is introduced in the country at a starting price of Rs 6.79 lakh. The strong suit of the Dzire has been its reliability and mileage, while its last generations have been criticised for their poor safety rating. Interestingly, the new-gen Dzire makes its entry grand, as it has just received a 5-star GNCAP rating.
