The Dzire is powered by a 1.2-liter, 3-cylinder engine that delivers 82 hp and 112 Nm in the petrol version. The CNG variant outputs 70 hp and 102 Nm. It comes with a 5-speed manual and an AMT option. Fuel economy is rated at up to 25.71 kmpl and an impressive 33.73 km/kg in CNG mode.

While the Brezza has higher power and torque, it is also significantly heavier, so real-world performance differences may not be substantial. However, fuel economy is lower than the Dzire's. Those looking for an automatic will find a more advanced 6-speed torque converter in the Brezza.

Features

The top-spec Dzire includes a sunroof, a 9-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 360-degree parking camera, keyless entry, and push-button start. For safety, it comes with ABS with EBD, 6 airbags, hill-hold assist, ESP, traction control, reverse parking sensors, a rear defogger, seat belt reminders, and more as standard.

The Maruti Brezza offers a similar feature list despite its premium pricing. It includes a 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system, connected car tech, a sunroof, wireless charging, and automatic climate control. Unique features include a head-up display and paddle shifters. Its safety features include 6 airbags, ESC, and hill-hold control.
