Most upgrades on the upcoming Maruti Dzire will remain the same as the 4th-generation Swift, but there will be some unique features too.

These include a Heads-up display, rain-sensing wipers, and telescopically adjustable steering. You will get the same 9-inch infotainment screen, ARKAMYS sound system, wireless Android Auto and Apple Car Play, onboard voice assistant and Bluetooth connectivity as well.
On the safety front, the upcoming sedan will get six airbags (standard), ESP, ABS with EBD, a reverse parking sensor and hill-hold assist. Additionally, some spy shots also suggest that the new-gen Dzire will also get a 360-degree surround camera that may be offered with the higher variants.
