Maruti Suzuki has launched the new-gen Dzire Tour S in India. Designed to cater to the fleet market, it is based on the latest-generation model of the Dzire and will be available in both petrol and CNG models. Priced between Rs 6.51 lakh and Rs 7.36 lakh (ex-showroom), Maruti Suzuki Dzire Tour S will replace the existing model based on the second-generation Dzire. It joins other Tour S models such as the Ertiga (Tour M) and Wagon R (Tour H3) while retailed through Maruti Suzuki’s Arena and commercial dealerships.
The new Dzire Tour S is aimed at enabling the company to achieve greater economies of scale, compared to the past, when two generations of the cars were offered simultaneously. Maruti Suzuki Dzire Tour S is available in two variants: petrol and bi-fuel CNG. The petrol manual version would cost Rs 6.51 lakh while the bi-fuel CNG variant will cost Rs 7.36 lakh.
