डिजायर 2017-2020 AMT ZDI Plus रिव्यू

The Maruti Dzire diesel AMT is available in three trim levels - VDi, ZDi and ZDi+. The Maruti Suzuki Dzire ZDi Plus AMT, which is the range-topping diesel automatic version, is priced at Rs 9.41 lakh (ex-showroom, New Delhi, as of April 18, 2017).

As this is the top-spec diesel auto trim, the Maruti Dzire ZDi+ automatic is loaded to the gills. Most of its features are carried forward from the ZDi trim. The standout goodies of the ZDi Plus AMT are automatic LED projector headlamps with daytime running LEDs, 15-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels and a 7-inch SmartPlay infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support.

As far as safety is concerned, all variants of the Dzire, including the ZDi Plus diesel AMT, come with dual-front airbags (driver and front passenger) along with ABS (anti-lock braking system), EBD (electronic brake-force distribution) and brake assist. Moreover, the Dzire also comes with child seat anchors and seat belts with pre-tensioner and force limiter as standard. The ZDi Plus additionally offers a rear camera with parking sensors, front fog lamps and rear defogger.

The Fiat-sourced 1.3-litre DDiS motor that powers the automatic versions of the Maruti Dzire diesel is one of the most common engines in Maruti's lineup. The 1,248cc, four-cylinder diesel puts out 75PS of max power and 190Nm of peak torque and is mated to a 5-speed AMT (automated manual transmission) in the Maruti Suzuki Dzire 1.3 DDiS ZDi+ automatic. The ARAI-certified fuel efficiency of the Maruti Dzire diesel AMT automatic is 28.40kmpl, which is identical to its 5-speed manual counterpart. This makes the diesel Dzire MT/AMT, the most fuel efficient car in the Indian market.

The Maruti Suzuki Dzire 1.3-litre diesel AMT automatic goes up primarily against the Tata Zest 1.3-litre Quadrajet AMT and the VW Ameo 1.5-litre TDI DSG.
