But the sales of the Dzire dipped in May 2017. Maruti Suzuki sold 9,073 units as opposed to the 16,968 units in May 2016. The shifting of the manufacturing process to the new plant has affected the supply and sales.

The 2017 Maruti Dzire is based on the HEARTECT platform which also underpins the Baleno. The compact sedan is available in two engine options, a 1.2-litre petrol engine and a 1.3-litre oil burner.
