9 Inch Infotainment Screen
The all new Dzire gets a bigger 9 Inch infotainment touchscreen with Maruti calls Smartplay pro+ and it step up in size from the previously available 7 Inch screen. Reverse parking camera, wireless Android auto and Apple carplay, and over the air updates (OTA) is availble here. It is easy to understand and the interface is fast, plus the resolution is also good.
Variants Available: This touchscreen is available in the top variant ZXI+, while other variants get a smaller 7-inch screen. However, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are offered with each screen.
Competitors with the same feature: The all new Dzire competitors are the Hyundai Aura, Honda Amaze, and Tata Tigor, and all of them feature a smaller screen than the Dzire. The Aura comes with an 8-inch screen with wired connectivity, the Tigor has a 7-inch screen, and the Amaze also comes with a 7-inch screen.
Electric Sunroof
Finally, a sunroof has been added to the Dzire, and it will definitely elevate its appeal, as Indians love to gaze at the sky while sitting in their cars. The electric sunroof was much awaited, as none of the previous generations of the Dzire were equipped with it.
Varaints Available: This feature is, again, only available in the top-of-the-line ZXi+ variant.
Competitors with the same feature: The electric sunroof is a segment-first feature, and none of its rivals, like the Aura, Amaze, and Tigor, offer one.
360 View Camera
The Maruti Baleno was the first mass-market car to feature a 360-degree view camera, and now almost every car has it. It was bound to be introduced in the Dzire, and it has finally happened.
The 360-degree view camera is incredibly useful when the driver is trying to park in a congested space, as it provides a birds-eye view of the vehicle. Additionally, sometimes the driver cannot predict what is in the blind spot, and this feature helps a lot in such situations.
Variants Available: This feature is only there with ZXI+ and can only function in the big 9 Inch screen.
Competitors with the same feature: The 360 view camera is a segment-first feature, and none of its rivals, like the Aura, Amaze, and Tigor, offer one.
Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
TPMS is swiftly becoming one of the most in-demand safety features, and more and more automakers are including it in their new cars. TPMS can be extremely helpful and may prevent potential accidents. In our busy lives, we often forget to check the air pressure in our tires. On rough, patchy roads, a tire with low air pressure is more likely to wear out or burst, which can lead to a serious accident.
Variants Available: Thankfully, this feature is available in two variants of the 2024 Dzire. ZXi and ZXi +.
Competitors with the same feature: The Hyundai Aura and Tata Tigor are equipped with this feature, while the Honda Amaze lacks it.

Verdict
The Maruti Dzire has definitely upped its game, and now it looks like an upper-segment car. The front end is heavily inspired by several of its rivals, as well as German luxury sedans. This car will be launched on November 11th and is set to rule the roads of India, just like every previous generation of the Dzire. It also features some industry-first elements, but the third-generation Honda Amaze will also be launching soon, so let us wait for that to compare.
