It’s also bigger in some ways - not in length but width which is up 40mm while wheelbase has increased by 20mm. But with the new third-gen model, the Dzire has finally turned desirable - it’s fresh, contemporary and looks like a sedan from a segment above. Much like most of its counterparts in the segment, it did come across as a hatchback that’s been stretched to look like a sedan. Despite its immense success, the older Dzire was never a looker.
