The Dzire was launched in 2008 and was based on the first generation Swift hatchback. It was introduced as a subcompact sedan for the Indian market in order to offer a sedan-like car in a smaller size. Later, in order to get the tax benefits offered to cars with a length below 4 meters in India, it was converted into a sub-4-meter sedan.

The second generation Swift Dzire was based on the second generation Swift hatchback. This update was a very significant one as its length was reduced below four meters in order to get the tax benefit offered to sub-4-meter cars. A 1.2 L K-series petrol engine was introduced, and a 1.3 L DDiS turbo-diesel engine. A four-speed automatic transmission option was only available in the VXi trim.[3]

The 2015 revised Swift Dzire was rated as the most fuel efficient diesel car in India.[4][5]

Maruti Suzuki launched the DZire ZDi with Automatic Gear Shift (AGS) in January 2016.[6] The 5-speed automated manual transmission (AMT) is paired to the 1.3 L DDiS turbodiesel engine.

The second generation Dzire is still available in India for fleet operators as the Dzire Tour S. Initially the 1.3 L turbodiesel engine was also available, but then dropped in April 2020 due the implementation of BS6 emissions standard. Currently only 1.2 L petrol and CNG engine are available, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.

Maruti Suzuki launched the third generation Dzire sedan in India on 16 May 2017.[9][10] The third generation is based on the third generation of the Suzuki Swift. However, for the first time ever, it drops the "Swift" nameplate from its name (except in Colombia and Guatemala where it is marketed as Swift Sedan).[1] The second-generation Dzire continued to be produced and sold exclusively to fleet operators in India, while being rebadged as the Dzire Tour S.

It is built on the HEARTECT platform which uses ultra-high tensile and high tensile steel in its construction, so as to not comprise on structural rigidity. Despite being lighter, Suzuki claims that the vehicle is compliant with frontal and side impact regulations, as well as meets pedestrian safety regulations. The car is also wider and offers increased space for the occupant. Suzuki also claims that the third generation Dzire has 55 mm better rear legroom, as compared to the previous model. Moreover, the boot space has been increased to 378 litre.

It has a completely revised external body design with a special focus on the front section. It has a newly designed large hexagonal grille in the front section flanked by an all-new projector headlamps and a strip of LED DRLs running on the cluster. The body loses its overly bulgy nature and looks cleaner than before.

The engine options on offer at launch include a 1.2 L K12M motor producing 82 bhp and 113 N m of torque, while the diesel gets the 1.3 L D13A DDiS motor with 74 bhp and 190 N m of torque. Both engines can be had with a 5-speed manual or 5-speed AMT. The petrol models is rated 22 km/L and the diesel models are rated at 28.40 km/L in the fuel economy department.[11]

Facelifted model appeared in March 2020.[12][13] It comes with redesigned front end with wider grille and modern wood finish interiors, plus new features such as cruise control and VSC (AMT only). For the Indian market, a more refined 1.2 L K12N Dualjet petrol engine was used, replacing the previous petrol and diesel engines. The CNG variant of K12N engine was launched for Indian market in March 2022.[14]

The car has been grossing up a sales number of over 15,000 and close to 20,000 in the 2016–17 period where it has registered more than double the sales number of its competitors like the Honda Amaze, Hyundai Xcent and Tata Zest.
