With just over seven months having passed since its local market debut, Suzuki Auto South Africa has handed a number of updates to DZire, mostly centring around the interior.
One of the automaker’s key models, the DZire’s key gain is a new dual-tone black-and-beige interior that replaces the much lamented mono beige hue it debuting with in May.
Standard on both the entry-level GA and top-spec GL+, the addition hasn’t resulted in any price uptick or specification change from the launch earlier this year.
As such, both derivatives still feature the following as standard:
- LED headlights;
- 4.2-inch TFT instrument cluster display;
- front armrest;
- digital air-conditioning panel;
- height adjustable driver’s seat.
- electric mirrors;
- type-C and type-A USB ports;
- electric windows;
- six airbags;
- rear parking sensors;
- Electronic Stability Programme;
- Hill Hold
For the GL+, the 14-inch steel wheel make way for 15-inch alloys, the radio prep for a seven-inch infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and the sealed inlets on the flanks of the front bumper for fog lamps.
Additional standard kit includes a multi-function steering wheel, a reverse camera, chrome exterior detailing and cruise control.
Based on the same Heartect platform, once again, as the Swift, the DZire retains the same three-cylinder 1.2-litre normally aspirated Z12E petrol engine as before, with outputs of 60kW/112Nm.
The standard transmission is a five-speed manual, with a CVT being optional on the GL+ only.

- Arctic White Pearl;
- Bluish Black Pearl;

Now available, the DZire’s price tag continues to include a five-year/200 000 km warranty as well as a four-year/60 000 km service plan.
