2020 Maruti Suzuki Dzire LXI base variant walkaround review on video

Maruti Suzuki, India’s largest car manufacturer launched the facelifted version of the Dzire just before the lockdown started in India. Since the transportation and manufacturing of new cars were not allowed after the lockdown, the new Dzire did not reach the dealerships. However, with the relaxed lockdown rules, Maruti Suzuki has started dispatching the Dzire to the dealerships. Here is a walkaround video that shows the new facelifted Dzire from all around.

This video has been put by Arun Panwar and it shows the base LXI version of the car. The video describes all the specifications and features of the base version. He starts by showing the front-end of the vehicle that gets a new grille. The new single slat grille is larger in size and since this is the entry-level base version of the car, it does not get any chrome surroundings. The headlamps of the base variant get regular halogen lamps with integrated turn indicators. There are no DRLs and projector headlamps available with this version. Also, there are no fog lamps. The base LXI version comes with body-coloured bumper and black door handles and mirrors. This version also gets regular 14-inch steel rims. The rear does not get any changes.
