NCAP 5★

The Dzire remains a sensible choice for first-time sedan buyers and daily commuters who value dependability over flashy features. Its 5-star NCAP rating and 6 airbags set it apart in the budget segment, while the 33.73 km/l efficiency and sub-7 lakh entry price make it genuinely affordable to own.
