Maruti Suzuki Dzire Crosses 25 Lakh Unit Sales Milestone in India; Claims Segment-leading 50% Market Share

The Maruti Suzuki Dzire has surpassed the 25 lakh sales milestone in the country. It is available in four broad versions: LXi, VXi, ZXi, and ZXi+, with prices ranging from Rs 6.52 lakh to Rs 9.39 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). The mid-spec VXi and ZXi variants are offered with a factory-fitted CNG kit. Sedans appear to fall behind in terms of sales in a world where SUVs and other body types rule the market. The Maruti Suzuki Dzire, however, seems to produce strong figures for its maker with reliable performance. It is regarded as the most popular vehicle in the compact sedan segment, with both individual and fleet owners placing a high demand on it. While announcing the sales milestone, the carmaker stated that the compact sedan has a segment-leading market share of 50%. As the sedan is currently basking in the glory of a sales milestone, let's quickly learn about its features and other specs.
