MSIL launches all-new Suzuki Dzire

Maruti Suzuki India Limited (MSIL) has unveiled the all-new Dzire.

In a statement, the company noted that while the model’s primary market will be India, the all-new Suzuki Dzire will also be exported to the Middle East, Africa, Latin America, and ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) regions afterwards.

This could mean that the brand's Philippine distributor might be updating its lineup soon.

Since its inception in March 2008, the Dzire nameplate has retailed more than 2.7 million units in India alone.
