The biggest change in the updated Dzire is its engine. The sedan now offers BS6 compliant 1.2-litre K12C DualJet engine that also powers the Baleno. The new engine replaced the K12B engine. It produces 90 PS of maximum power and 113 Nm of peak torque. The sedan continues to offer the 5-speed manual and the 5-speed AMT automatic transmission options. The new Dzire is also more fuel-efficient compared to the older model. It returns a maximum of 24.12 km/l for the AMT of the 23/26 km/l for the manual.

It should be noted that Maruti Suzuki does not offer the diesel engine options in their line-up anymore.
