New Delhi: In a landmark achievement, Maruti Suzuki India Limited (MSIL) has announced that its beloved sedan, the Maruti Suzuki Dzire, has crossed the 3 million production milestone. This accomplishment underscores the model’s enduring popularity, cementing its place as a cornerstone in India’s automotive landscape.
Introduced in 2008, the Dzire has become synonymous with reliability, style, and efficiency in the sedan segment. It achieved its first million-unit milestone in 2015 and doubled that figure in just four years by 2019. Now, in December 2024, the Dzire joins the elite league of Maruti Suzuki models—alongside the Alto, Swift, and WagonR—that have reached this coveted milestone.
A Legacy of Innovation and Excellence
Hisashi Takeuchi, Managing Director & CEO of Maruti Suzuki India Limited, attributed the success to unwavering customer trust and support. “The Dzire’s journey from 2008 to today’s 3 million milestone is a testament to our commitment to delivering excellence. Our customers’ feedback has been the driving force behind each innovation, and the latest Dzire launched last month epitomizes this ethos,” he said.
The newly launched 4th-generation Dzire boasts a progressive design, luxurious two-tone interiors, and industry-first features. It also redefines efficiency, setting new benchmarks in fuel performance, a critical factor for Indian consumers.
Driving Global Presence
Beyond its dominance in India, the Dzire has made significant inroads into international markets. Since the commencement of exports in 2008, approximately 2.6 lakh units have been shipped to 48 countries across Latin America, Africa, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East. In FY 2023-24, the Dzire was Maruti Suzuki’s second-most exported model, further solidifying its global footprint.
A Champion of Sedans
For 16 consecutive years, the Dzire has reigned as the leader in the Indian sedan segment. Its appeal lies in its versatility, offering a blend of elegance, advanced features, and affordability that resonates with a broad spectrum of buyers.
The Road Ahead
As Maruti Suzuki looks toward the future, the Dzire remains a key pillar of its success. With a rich legacy and an ever-evolving design philosophy, the Dzire continues to set benchmarks for sedans in India and beyond.
This remarkable milestone not only celebrates a car but also a legacy built on trust, innovation, and excellence. For millions of Indians, the Dzire isn’t just a vehicle—it’s a part of their journey.
