The new Dzire 2017 is a light car and is based on an all new 'Heartect' platform. It offers more space and is powered by the same set of reliable and frugal engines that powered the car before. In terms of equipment however, there are a lot of additions. So how does it stack up against the rest of pack, we find out.
All cars are priced attractively, however, it's the Dzire that's most attractive. Even the base variant of the car gets features like ABS, EBD, two airbags, ISOFIX etc. The Dzire is the widest, the Tigor has the best ground clearance, while in terms of length, all are close to four meters.
The new Xcent offer a more powerful (1.2 litre) diesel motor. Tigor does not offer automatic as yet, while there AMT as well as manual with Dzire and you get it with both the engine choices, making it the most versatile package. Xcent offers a traditional automatic with petrol along with the manual option.
Dzire is now reasonably equipped and offers all the features like rear AC vents, projector headlamps, touch-screen system etc. The competition is really neck and neck, the Tigor offers an 8 speaker music system from Harman which sounds great. Xcent, like the Dzire offers touch-screen system that supports Navigation, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
