Maruti Suzuki Dzire (earlier known as Maruti Suzuki Swift Dzire) is a subcompact sedan made Maruti Suzuki for the Indian market since 2008. It was developed as a variation of the Suzuki Swift hatchback. It is available in a total of 14 variants including both petrol as well as diesel engine trims. The Suzuki Dzire was launched in 2008 and was based on the second generation of the Swift hatchback. It was introduced as 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 metres, it was converted into a sub 4-meter sedan. The car has a 5-speed manual transmission gearbox as standard in both the fuel versions, and 5-speed automated manual transmission option.[1] The car has Airbag for the driver and the passenger, ABS with EBD, and brake assist. Child seat anchor points and a seat belt warning are standard across all variants
