The fourth-generation Dzire has almost nothing in common design-wise with the Swift
On the cosmetic front, the fourth-generation Dzire’s design is vastly different from the Swift hatchback on which it is based. The fascia gets new rectangular headlamps which are merged with the black sash element situated above the openings for the grille. The grille on the fourth-generation model is larger than the one on the model it replaces. While the silhouette of the new Dzire is similar to the outgoing model, it gets a more prominent shoulder line, and rides on newly designed alloy wheels. Towards the rear, the model gets new tail lamps and a more prominent chrome strip than before.

The interior layout of the new Dzire is identical to that of the Swift
While the new Dzire’s exterior is completely different from the Swift, the interior layout is the very same, featuring a freestanding 9.0-inch display and retaining elements such as the steering wheel, switchgear and analogue dials. The infotainment screen is compatible with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity. Other features on the model include automatic climate control, wireless charging, engine start/stop button, rear AC vents, and an electric sunroof — a first for the Dzire. In terms of safety features, the vehicle gets six airbags, a 360-degree camera, ABS, hill-hold assist, and three-point seatbelts.
