Maruti Swift Dzire - Dezire

Maruti Swift Dzire

This is the new Dzire, the Sedan version of the Swift.

Initially I was not impressed with the looks. But after I saw a few Swift Dzires on the road, I started to like the looks. It stands out in the crowd. Since I was planning to buy a new car, I started evaluating my choices. The cars that I considered were Swift Dzire, , Aveo,  Hyundai  Accent and Verna.

After having done some research and test drives, Ive concluded that Dzire is the clear winner. The factors that affected the decision were its mileage, driving comfort, pick up and price.

The car has got excellent pick up. Fiesta wont even come close. The driving comfort is also much higher when compared to the competitors.

The car has a mileage of 18km on diesel. The highest claim is by fiesta, and its 22. But fiesta is costlier by 2 lakhs and the pick up is very bad. Also the interiors of fiesta sucks. But fiesta has got more leg space.

Swift Dzire full option ex showroom price is 6.7 lakhs. It comes with airbag and ABS brakes. The medium version without airbag and costs 5.8 lakhs.

I never knew maruthi ve released this car by now. Wow, it seems all the Fiesta people are going to face the after effects of ford engine if they are to dump their babes.
Feels like a Nikon D40 vs D80 :-D
Cool CAmeRa :-)

#2 Jose William on 04.15.08 at 3:35 pm

what is your general opinion about swift dezire? are you going for it becuase it is of Maruti’s product?

#3 Jose William on 04.15.08 at 3:36 pm

i dont think that the dezire can make it through because ford as a brand can compete with the dezire/

#4 SAF on 04.15.08 at 6:35 pm

To be frank, ford is nt a good brand to compare with maruthi(Suzuki), as far as the resale and performance (take it after 2-3-5 years) is concerned, maruthi is still more experienced and worth ,than ford on Indian roads.
Next on road will be a collaboration of TATA and FIAT. Seems like there is a hybrid under development. Lets see what it will be like.

#5 Vinu on 04.27.08 at 9:45 pm

Hooo my goodness what a mechine it isssssssss gonna get this in nother month ahead..waitin to rule the speedster…..do any one have an idea abt the petrol version abt the mileage

#6 Pankaj Mohindru on 04.28.08 at 4:11 pm

Hai, I booked Dzire Vdi Soverign blue on 03 of april and my car has come. what a great work maruti engineers have done.really admirable product
Logan n Tata Indigo are no where close to even dzire competition n dzire will give tough days to Verna as well as Honda sales people.

#7 Manish on 05.01.08 at 4:03 pm

The availability of the vehicle is very poor,the wating period for this is very panic,

#8 Ravi Raj on 05.01.08 at 4:22 pm

That’s cool. You managed to get it quite fast compared to what some people are claiming. You are right- logan and indigo are nowhere close.

#9 Mahendra shah on 05.04.08 at 1:44 pm

The availability of this beautyful car is very poor. The Dealers are not Co-operating for booking this Dream Car…. We are very confuse when can we get this car…. The waiting period for this is very panic. Can we get any idea from MARUTI PEOPLE……??????

#10 bhaskar de on 05.08.08 at 5:33 pm

Mr. Pankaj Mahindru booked on 03rd Apr. & got del on 28nd Apr. Congrats & happy driving.
I booked a dzire VDI on 02nd Apr. Today I received a letter from SB Motors, Rajamundry informing me that del of my car may take 6 to 8 months.
What a Paradox !! Wonder how Maruti maintains priority list.

What a Paradox !! Wonder how Maruti maintains priority list.

But how these deals are being done by dealers with convenience through the Maruti Udyog Ltd. Very surprising to see and shame to MUL as well as to the Indian Nation

Why Maruti is not maintaining the priority list on their website, Reason there off. I booked on 28th March but I am not known my priority list and dealer is hiding to disclose the priority list cause some favourism are being done through the dealer or Maruti Udyog Ltd by all means to the influencial persons.

#12 Dipak on 05.15.08 at 11:51 am

I book Dezire on 07 May 2008, it was told me that u have to wait for 5-6 months. I don’t know on what basis this time is calculated. When there is so much of russ why the waiting list is not displayed on web side? All this is bloody indianminds. Dealer will do delivred to his favourable pople. This i the way by which we are killing our products. And really shame on MUL of this quality of service.

#13 Mohammen.Naveedulla on 05.16.08 at 3:49 am

Every thing if fine in that but bonet hight has to be reduce or give some diffrent look on thats place.

#14 Nilu on 05.21.08 at 8:25 pm

I have bought a dzire LDI version. I find the car is ok. Though the interiors are poor when compared to my Santro - the cover of the gear box has gaping gaps and the trims are certainly of poor quality. The dicky door is flimsy and does not have a inner pad.

The engine is great and the city mileage is about 13kms per lt. Long distance is just about 17kms. But the brakes and feel is great on a highway

#15 SAF on 05.22.08 at 10:20 am

Is there any fiesta people to rate Swift with Fiesta or any other same level car??

#16 haroon on 05.23.08 at 11:01 am

this is one crap car

#17 SAF on 05.23.08 at 1:08 pm

CRAP CAR??? Could you please mention more about it?

#18 prince on 05.26.08 at 4:01 pm

Compare Dzire with Logan n Tata Indigo ,
Not with that of Fiesta,City corolla or verna ,They are a class apart in luxury.

#19 Kenney Jacob on 05.26.08 at 4:10 pm

Fiestas interiors sucks. The only advantage fiesta has over Dzire is mileage and space. Dzire wins in every other comparison.

Corolla and Verna are next level cars. Cant compare them with Dzire.

#20 SAF on 05.26.08 at 8:36 pm

Next level?? Up or down?? Now its the time of Benz and BMW.

#21 M.Bharathan on 05.27.08 at 1:10 pm

I would like to know whether this is available immediately. If not how much time it takes to get the delivery. Shall it be available on exchange basis with an old Maruti car.

#22 prince on 05.27.08 at 5:00 pm

#26 DEZIRE on 06.06.08 at 5:48 pm

Maruti keep it up………..

#27 amit mahajan on 06.09.08 at 2:10 pm

Test drove the car the other day , overall a good car ,but the back seat is kinda cramped up , also because it has the turning radius of a swift a hatchback it slides at hight speeds because it cannot support the weight of the extention dicky. have experienced this personally with salesman in car .

#30 Aditya kavoor on 06.23.08 at 11:04 pm

All you maruti lovers, mind you that you are driving a fiat engine and fiats innovation

#31 Rags on 06.24.08 at 3:43 pm

Dear Dipak,

Please mind your language. Never ever dare to say “Bloody Indian minds”. Don’t forget that you are one among them. Understand the situation of “High Demand & Low Supply” rather than blaming the dealer without any proper justification. MERA BHARATH MAHAAN. JAI HIND.

#32 prakash ganwani on 07.03.08 at 8:34 pm

please let me know whether swift Dzire is only being assembled here and the original engine and spares are being imported from japan

#33 manoj on 07.06.08 at 6:15 pm

DZire is not available immediately. You will have to wait a while. But it is definitely worth the wait.

#38 AKSHIT on 07.26.08 at 6:23 pm

I ve booked Dezire VDI but some of my friends ve told me to cancel the booking as they heard about the problem with its gear box.

#39 ashoksingh on 07.26.08 at 9:16 pm

i had booked maruti Dzire on 1st April 2008, when i expect the delivery at Jabalpur (madhya Pradesh). Maruti to look into the matter.

#40 Sanjeev on 07.27.08 at 4:10 pm

I have driven this frog ( maruti Dzire). The only thing which I understand is that it is selling just because it is Maruti. We Indians are crazy about maruti because it was the first company to offer a Maruti 800 in the era of ambassadors and premier padminis. Coming to present scenario, Maruti’s market share is approximately hovering around 45 - 47 percent down from 80 % in the initial days. Technology wise DZIRE is a poor product. All DZIRE waiting list are going to disappear once Ford India launches IKON 1.4 TDCi diesel car in september/ October 2008. Overall IKON will be a more spacious, fuel efficient, fun to drive car. I also understand Ford has a better record of safety than maruti. So all friends who are fed up by long waiting lists of DZIRE, cheer up your DZIRE will be delivered in September / october before Ford launches IKON. Otherwise you may be driving a Fresh IKON 1.4 TDCi diesel.

#41 Sanjeev on 07.27.08 at 4:16 pm

As a market analyzer I am observing maruti is losing market share very rapidly. Hyundai i10 has eaten in to the small car where as tough competition is offered by Honda, Hyundai and Ford. I feel in the coming years Maruti will be holding market share below 35%

#42 Milind Patel on 08.04.08 at 4:02 pm

I booked Dzire Zxi on 26th of March 2008….still waiting to hear from my dealer “Kothari Wheels, Pune” that when it would be delivered??? End of the day it’s India so common citizen suffers whilst Kothari’s make money!!!!
