INTERIOR
At first glance only, you will realize that the 2024 Dzire’s design language is completely different from that of the outgoing model or even the new-gen Swift. The fascia has been completely revised with a new wider grille, and sleek looking LED DRLs. You get a chrome strip running across the width of the car and the bumpers have been tweaked as well.
In profile, it sports newly designed 15-inch dual-tone alloy wheels. It also comes with a chrome strip running across the length of the windows.
The rear comes with a new Y-shape design for the LED tail lights. Additionally, you now also get a shark fin antenna instead of the regular antenna. A chrome strip connects the LED tail lights and you also get an integrated lip spoiler.
COLORS
The Dzire 2024 comes with a total of seven colour options: Gallant Red, Alluring Blue, Nutmeg Brown, Bluish Black, Arctic White, Magma Grey, and Splendid Silver.
