The new Dzire has a convincing sense of premiumness that lingers on long after you have stepped out of the car.
"There seems to be a clear focus on comfort and calm commuting in the Dzire’s DNA, and the richness with which Maruti manages to do so, makes us less likely to complain about its few shortcomings."
