This new Dzire is underpinned by a new platform which the company has dubbed Heartect. It is lightweight with the expected weight drop to be over 85kgs as compared to the outgoing model. It has also been designed to enhance passenger safety with compliance for frontal offset impact regulations. All models of the car now come fitted with dual airbags, ABS with EBD and ISOFIX child seat mounting points.
New designThe recent trend has been to move the compact sedans away from their hatchback siblings and this new Dzire joins the likes of the facelifted Hyundai Xcent. It sports a design similar to that of the Ciaz. There are subtle hints of chrome around the face while the tail lamps are completely new. The front is long while the stubby boot for the first time looks quite well integrated into the overall design. One of the most striking elements is the headlamps which extend all the way to the middle of the hood and in the upper models have LED DRLs.
