Drive Review — What It Feels Like
The Dzire delivers a refined and relaxed driving experience. The 1.2L petrol engine is smooth and responsive, especially in city traffic. The manual gearbox is light and precise, while the AMT offers decent convenience, though it’s best suited for calm driving rather than spirited overtakes.
On the highway, the Dzire cruises comfortably at 90–100 km/h, with minimal engine noise and good ride quality. The CNG variant, while slightly slower off the line, feels stable and efficient — ideal for fleet buyers or long-distance commuters.
The cabin is well put together, with soft-touch elements and a clean layout. The touchscreen is intuitive, and the rear seat comfort is excellent for two adults. Overall, the Dzire feels like a sedan that’s built for everyday ease and long-term reliability.
