Dzire in Chennai: questions buyers ask
Is there a Dzire with CNG and an automatic?
Yes, the Dzire VXi CNG AGS and Dzire ZXi CNG AGS. The Dzire VXi CNG AGS costs ₹40,775 more than the manual Dzire VXi CNG and is rated slightly better on gas.
Is the Dzire LXi a good first car for a Chennai family?
It has the full sedan body and the same six airbags, stability control and ISOFIX mounts as the top variant. But it has no rear AC vents, which matter in Chennai's heat, so most families should start at the Dzire VXi.
What changes between the Dzire ZXi CNG and the petrol Dzire ZXi?
The kit is the same, including the reverse camera and wireless charging. The CNG version makes 69 bhp on gas against 82 bhp on petrol, and it costs ₹1.06 lakh more on-road.
Does Chennai's RTO add a service charge on a Dzire?
Yes, ₹200, on top of the ₹600 registration fee and ₹200 smart card, and it sits in the RTO charges line above. The ₹2,250 road safety tax Tamil Nadu charges on every new car is shown separately.
Does the Dzire's 360 degree camera come with the automatic?
Yes. The Dzire ZXi+ AMT has it, along with the sunroof and cruise control. It costs ₹52,425 more than the manual Dzire ZXi+.
