Tuesday, 11 July 2017 11:22 PM Design and Features The old Maruti Dzire ZDi Plus boasted a sleek design with sweptback headlamps, a new clamshell bonnet, and round foglamps with long L-shaped chrome inserts. The car had a more proportionate sedan look compared to its predecessor. I think the design updates made it look more mature and appealing.

Wednesday, 12 July 2017 12:44 AM Engine and Performance The Maruti Dzire ZDi Plus was powered by a 1.3 litre Fiat-sourced Multijet diesel engine, producing 74 bhp and 190 Nm of torque. Although the power figures were not significantly improved, the engine was known for its efficiency. I believe this engine was a good choice for those prioritizing fuel economy.

Tuesday, 11 July 2017 09:58 AM Safety Features The old Dzire ZDi Plus came equipped with standard safety features such as dual airbags, ABS with EBD, and ISOFIX child seat mounts. These features were a step up in safety compared to many of its contemporaries. I think these safety additions were a significant selling point for the car.

Tuesday, 11 July 2017 11:32 PM Market and Sales Despite the sedan segment shrinking in favor of SUVs and crossovers, the Maruti Dzire, including the ZDi Plus variant, continued to sell well. Maruti had sold over 1.38 million units of the Dzire by the time the new model was announced. I believe the Dzires success was due to its great packaging and Marutis strong service network.

Tuesday, 11 July 2017 09:49 AM Transmission and Comfort The ZDi Plus variant offered an AMT automatic transmission, which was a welcome change from the conventional manual transmission. The car also featured a compliant ride and neutral on-road behavior, making it comfortable for daily use. I think the AMT option made the car more appealing to a wider audience.
