The Maruti Suzuki Dzire LXi (BS6 Phase 2) is powered by a 1.2L K12M petrol engine paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. Producing 89 bhp and 113 Nm of torque, the Dzire focuses on smooth city driving and fuel economy rather than outright performance.

With an ARAI-certified mileage of 24.79 km/l, it remains one of the most fuel-efficient petrol sedans in India. Safety-wise, it comes equipped with ABS, dual airbags, ISOFIX child seat mounts, and a 4-star safety rating, ensuring peace of mind for family buyers.

The Dzire offers a 378-litre boot space, good rear-seat comfort, and Maruti’s extensive service network, which keeps maintenance costs low. While the LXi variant is basic in features, it excels in reliability, resale value, and affordability, making it ideal for first-time car buyers.
