India’s largest selling car is indeed a sedan, and not a hatchback any more. The Dzire remains unbeatable and a major reason for this is also due to the availability of a commercial version that is sold under the Dzire Tour brand name. The Dzire brand name made its entry into India in October 2008 and has been seen as a Swift with a boot. While that is true to an extent, the Dzire does offer a premium appeal and being a sedan, has a better brand recall. The cabin too is different with the light color theme adding to the sense of space. Infact, the current gen model is an all-new car that improves massively on the space front. The Dzire finally gets much needed space on the inside, better quality levels and a layout that looks premium. 
The current Dzire has been upgraded to meet BS6 norms and in the process misses out on the diesel engine. The 1.2 petrol has been updated and in comes the dual jet engine that offers more power and yet is more efficient than ever before. Both 5 speed manual and 5 speed AMT continue to be offered.  Design too has seen tweaks and Maruti has upgraded the brakes to make it safer at higher speeds. 
Even in terms of comfort, the new Dzire ticks the right boxes. It might not offer the same dynamics as say the VW Ameo, but does the job well for most buyers. The large boot is an added plus. 
With year long discounts in place, the Dzire continues to offer shattering value for money and there is every reason for us to recommend this entry level sedan to those looking at upgrading from a smaller hatchback
