Suzuki Dazire Sedan A ‘Big’ option for playful Swift

This solid small ride will save you a big money in petrol pumps.

Let’s be honest, small sedan does not get anyone’s heart race. He will never have a poster on your wall (in 2025 it translates into a screen saver on your smartphone). You buy a small sedan because your budget decides that you need.

But allow me to introduce you to the new Suzuki Dzire. This is a Suzuki Swift. The same basics, the same light-on-it-fit energy, different face. All this happened that Suzuki Dajire swapped the playful hatchback vibe to feel a little older. Talking about, there is a good amount of internal space. The legroom is also fine, while the headroom is slightly tight. It is followed by a compact sedan. The available space is what it is.

Lots of space

But what is not for the debate is that Suzuki Dazire’s boot is large. At 378 liters, it has got a square size, low load lip, and more depth than expected. It translates about two suitcases, one week grocery accessories, and emergency cooler boxes to speak every day. Your hatchback cannot match it without turning the seats.

The love I did not have, was beige/cream cover interior. As a family/people, it is not going to age or wears well on Suzuki Dzire. But I liked a simple approach for infotainment set-up with a 7-inch screen and Wireless apple carplay And Android Auto. All of which can be controlled by button on leather steering wheels.

Being GL+ Spect means that you get kits like cruise control, electric window all round and remote central locking. Security is only something basic with ABS, EBD, dual airbags, isoffix and rear parking sensors.

Easy on juice

Nothing is attractive, but is responsible for all necessary things. What should always be kept in mind, this car retails for less than R250 000. You cannot buy a high-end mountain bike these days.

Under the bonnet, it is a 1.2-liter naturally aspirated petrol engine that we know Suzuki SwiftIt produces 60kw and 112Nm. Now, it does not seem much, and it is not. But Suzuki Dazire weighs only 900 kg. And it is added for a five-speed manual transmission that is light and easy to use. As a result the drive is probably perkier. But who is measuring the quarter miles? I am not for a change.

Where Suzuki Dazire is again a winner when it comes to fuel consumption. Suzuki claims that a figure of 4.4 liters per 100 km per 100 km. If you take it very easy with high percentage of open road driving, you can get it. But it said, I worked 5.0 liters per 100 km, which I would call normal driving. You will probably do without much effort.

Suzuki Dzire is a sensible option

Suzuki Dzire GL+ Mt is not what it is not. This just shows and the cost is running low. You do not buy it to make a statement. And this is what I like about Suzuki products. And so many South African people do it. The Suzuki brand has entangled itself in front of Stalwarts Volkswagen in the sales race of Mite Toyota and in the country’s sales race.

Suzuki Dzire retails for 1.2 GL+ 5mt R246 900. This includes five years/200 000 km warranty and four-year/60 000 km service scheme.
