New Maruti Dzire Facelift (2014) Coming

[vm2011]

DZire may get AMT in 2015.
While the update will mostly have minor cosmetic changes apart from a few feature additions, the biggest change may be the introduction of Automated Manual Transmission (AMT) on the new version.

Maruti May Launch Dzire AMT, Apart from Ertiga & WagonR | MotorBash.com

well this will give an option to those customers who are not willing to spend 8 lacs on zest diesel automatic

and being a maruti there will be no issue regarding after sales and service

With Dzire showing healthy MOM figures, Maruti is in no hurry for the facelift. Current version production continues. Lauch delayed to March 2015?

Yes its officially confirmed to me. Dzire Face-lift will be launched in end of Feb-2105 or by March 2015.

My dear, if they use the Ciaz wala engine in Dzire too then who will buy a Ciaz (Price Wise and Performance Wise)?

Amaze has 1.5 L diesel engine city also same....in that case even ciaz and swift dzire can have same engine na

See Vishnu, Honda City was a established product of Honda, so when they introduced Amaze, they had to create an edge over others in sub-4 meter segment so they used a 1.5 L engine of CITY which over took the Suzuki Dzire.

But now the scenario for Maruti cant be compared to Honda because, Ciaz is an all-together new offering by Maruti with a 1.4 L engine, so if they place Ciaz engine into a face-lift of Dzire, then Ciaz's sale will suffer as people shall be getting performance of Ciaz in a Dzire at a cost that will be around 1.5L cheaper.

So, in my opinion the engine upgrade on Dzire should not come at the cost of Ciaz's sales rather it shouldn't come until Ciaz establishes itself in Indian market.

Vishnu, I guess you are making a slightly wrong / unfair comparison here. City and Amaze have common diesel engines but you are asking for common petrol engines between Ciaz and Dzire. If you see City and Amaze have different petrol engines. Again, Dzire and Ciaz have the same 1.3 diesel engine but Ciaz has VGT for more power and torque.

Now, why I say it unfair is because of the 4m excise rules. A car is considered small if it is 4m + 1.2 L for petrol and 4m + 1.5 L for diesel. So putting in 1.4 L petrol into Dzire will mean it will lose the small car benefits which Maruti is not gonna do. But Amaze is still a small car with the 1.5 L diesel. Again City has a 6 speed gearbox as the differentiation from Amaze.

Looks very bad!
My guess is either MSIL is not paying their designers well or the designers themselves are real stupid!

DJ I am more worried about the fact how are these designers getting approval on such designs? Of-late the idea of face-lift for Maruti has been either omission of basic necessary features or coming up with Chrome loaded cars viz-a-viz Dzire, Ertiga. It won't be a surprise that even this version of Dzire will have good number of sales. So, MSIL is least bothered on looks till their cars are giving good sales.
