The compact sedan segment has its silent performers, and the Maruti Dzire ZXI AMT is one of them. Even in a market dominated by SUVs, this fourth-generation Dzire continues to stand strong.

This review takes a candid, slightly reluctant-yet-persuasive look at whether the Dzire ZXI AMT truly deserves your hard-earned money.

Build Quality, Cabin Feel & Practicality

The Dzire finally establishes its own identity, separate from the Swift. The interior feels clean, flat, and functional, with enough space for a family of four. However, some limitations exist:

• Wireless charger feels more cosmetic
• Cup holders clash with gear movement in manual variants
• Rear seat ideal for two adults
• Rear seat doesn’t fold due to safety structure

The 5-star BNCAP rating compensates strongly for these compromises.
