Key facts

- CNG hike: ₹7,500 (VXi, ZXi CNG)

Maruti has pushed Dzire prices up by ₹5,000 to ₹7,500 this June, with CNG buyers shouldering the steeper increase. The base LXi petrol manual escapes untouched at ₹6.26 lakh—a tactical move to keep the entry hook sharp. For everyone else, it's a small sting in a segment where every rupee counts.
Who pays what
CNG variants—VXi and ZXi—jump ₹7,500 each, reflecting the costlier bi-fuel hardware. All other petrol variants (bar the base LXi) rise ₹5,000. The top-end ZXi now sits at ₹9.36 lakh, nudging past the Hyundai Aura's range. The Dzire's base price still undercuts the Aura (₹6.49 lakh entry), preserving first-time sedan buyer appeal.
Why it still matters
India's gone SUV-crazy, yet the Dzire topped every model in March 2026 and finished CY25 as Maruti's volume king. Sub-4m dimensions, proven 1.2-litre petrol and CNG mills, a roomy boot, low running costs, and dealer reach down to tier-3 towns keep it relevant. The 2024 redesign closed the desirability gap with crossovers, and resale confidence seals the deal.
Buy now or wait?
If you want the base LXi petrol, book it—no hike there. CNG shoppers face ₹7,500 more, and Maruti rarely reverses increases. The wildcard: Tata's Tigor facelift drops in weeks and might force better exchange bonuses. Otherwise, lock your Dzire now. Waiting lists are 2–4 weeks, dealer discounts are dry, and festive season won't erase this jump.
