|---|---|---|---|
| Single Pane Sunroof | Yes | - | - |

Verdict
The Maruti Dzire's recent updates position it strongly in the compact sedan space, especially with features like a sunroof and 360-degree camera that its rivals skip entirely. The Hyundai Aura still shines with its wider feature spread across variants (TPMS, wireless charger), while the Honda Amaze remains conservative, prioritizing reliability over tech but adds a very crucial ADAS suite. Buyers seeking the most feature-rich experience at a competitive price will find the Dzire's ZXi+ variant particularly compelling, given all the bells and whistles are packed in the top-spec model.
