Maruti Suzuki has now made available the second generation Dzire Tour and has priced it at Rs 5.24 lakh for the petrol variant and Rs 5.99 lakh for the diesel variant (ex-showroom Delhi). This car is based on the second generation Dzire compact sedan and continues where the first generation car left off.
Aimed at the fleet market, this car (both in petrol and diesel trims) sports a bare minimum of features which includepower windows, air conditioning and dual tone beige and black interiors. The detailed instrument cluster of the second generation Dzire has been modified and it now gets a large digital display for the trip meters. On the outside, there is no chrome package and the standard car gets black bumpers, but they can be painted to in body colour for an additional amount.
The petrol version is powered by the 1.2-litre K-Series petrol engine producing 83bhp/115Nm while the diesel is the 1.3-litre Multijet engine producing 75bhp/190Nm. Both are offered only with a five-speed manual.
This second generation Dzire Tour will go head-to-head with Hyundai’s Prime programme which will see the pre-facelift Grand i10 and Xcent being pressed into service for the fleet market and ride sharing services.
