Maruti Suzuki Dzire compact sedan in red

The Maruti Suzuki Dzire specifications show how a compact sedan can stay cheap to run while adding a real boot. The Z12E 1.2 litre three cylinder petrol makes 82 bhp at 5700 rpm and 112.4 Nm at 4500 rpm. On CNG it drops to 69 bhp and 101.8 Nm, with that torque arriving lower, at 2900 rpm.

Gearbox choice covers a 5 speed manual and a 5 speed AMT on petrol, and the CNG car offers the same pair, with Maruti badging the CNG automatic as AGS. On both fuels the AMT is rated more efficient than the manual, so going automatic never costs you mileage.

On economy the Dzire is among the thriftiest sedans on sale. The petrol manual is rated at 25.15 kmpl and the AMT at 26.13 kmpl. The S-CNG manual reaches 35.63 km/kg and the CNG AGS 36.47 km/kg, the best CNG rating Maruti gives any car. The petrol tank holds 37 litres, and the CNG cylinder has a 55 litre water capacity.

The headline dimension is the 382 litre boot on the petrol car, large enough for a family holiday or a taxi's daily load. Maruti quotes no boot figure for the CNG version. The car is 3995 mm long on a 2450 mm wheelbase, with 163 mm of ground clearance and a 4.8 metre turning radius. You can gauge its real local cost.

Safety and feature kit climb through the range. Six airbags, ESP, hill hold and reverse parking sensors are standard, and the ZXi adds a reverse camera and tyre pressure monitoring. The ZXi+ swaps that camera for a 360 view camera and adds an electric sunroof and cruise control. Then check the Dzire's shade options to finish the pick.

Maruti Suzuki Dzire power and torque explained

Every Dzire runs on the same 1.2 litre three cylinder engine, and you choose between petrol and factory CNG. Each fuel comes with a manual or an AMT automatic, so there are four combinations in all. The petrol makes 83 PS (82 bhp) and 112.4 Nm, while CNG brings that down to 70 PS (69 bhp) and 101.8 Nm.

How to read this chart. Torque is the push you feel when you accelerate, and it peaks low on the rev range. Power is how hard the engine keeps pulling as it revs higher, and it peaks further up. The two dots mark those peaks. The shaded strip between them is the flexibility band: a wider band pulls easily across more revs and feels relaxed in traffic, while a narrower band asks you to rev the engine more to get its best. Use the buttons above to compare this car's engines.

Peak figures come from the 1.2L Z-Series S-CNG (Z12E) spec sheet. The line between the two peaks is not a measured dyno curve.

The petrol Dzire hits peak torque at 4500 rpm and peak power at 5700 rpm, just 1200 rpm apart. Both peaks are high, so the engine pulls best when it is revving well. Shift down a gear before you overtake. In slow traffic you will change gears often, or you can let the AMT do it for you. It is rated at 25.15 km/l with the manual and 26.13 km/l with the AMT. You can see which petrol trims come with each gearbox.

On CNG, peak torque comes far earlier, at 2900 rpm, and peak power at 5700 rpm. That 2800 rpm spread means each gear covers a wider range of speeds, which helps in town. With less power than the petrol, it needs more planning for highway overtakes. Maruti rates it at 35.63 km/kg with the manual and 36.47 km/kg with the AGS. The 382 litre boot figure is for the petrol car, since the CNG cylinder takes up part of the boot. Before you choose a fuel, read the full Dzire overview.
