SWIFT DZIRE
March 26, 2008India’s first sedan, the Maruti Suzuki ESTEEM has finally got to make way for its successors. Suzuki has successfully been able to bring a new sedan , a great replacement for ESTEEm in the form of SWIFT DZIRE. The first look of the car as well as the name indicates that it shares the same platform as that of the swift and also gets you the likes of Indigo and Petra which have been hach based sedans of Indiaca and Palio respectively.Of late Maruti Esteem has lost its charm and the new it was pushed back with the Ford Ikon and Tata Indigo doing extremely well. The Swift Dzire features the same engine as that of Swift and all the tech specs are same except for a few things which becaome a trademark of a sedan. the pricing is expected to be around 4.2-6.5lacs as estimated by trade pundits.

If the pricing is somewhat close to the above , then other players in the segment will have a run for their money as the drive quality of the swift and swift dzire is said toequivalent to Honda City . So Dzire , the sedan has a frugal1.3L engine with the drive quality of Honda City at the price of an Esteem with the luxury features that you see in SX4.
Verdict : Great value for Money.
