For the longest time, the Maruti Suzuki Dzire has been the nation's top-selling sub-4m compact sedan. So far, more than 27 lakh Dzire models have been sold. In order to take on its competitors, the car has been redesigned and is now available in the Indian market in its fourth generation avatar with a host of new improvements. 
Set to rival the popular Honda Amaze, the price of the car will start from Rs 6.79 lakh across the nation. The Dzire's reliability and mileage have been its strongest points, although its last generations have drawn criticism for having a low safety rating. The new-generation Dzire, which recently earned a 5-star GNCAP rating, makes an impressive debut.
