Ha Ha Ha! I got my white Maruti Swift Dzire (Vdi) now! I have been a little late in sharing this news with you all! I finally got my hands on this car on 14th of July. Three days after my birthday. Gosh!!! It was so much waiting for this beautiful car.
Maruti Swift Dzire is one of the best available cars in India, that gives such a great mileage beside being pretty impressive in looks and performance. Other close competitors were Ford Fiesta, which gives almost same average but people have had lot many bad experiences with after sale service, plus it was some 80,000 INR expensive than Maruti Dzire. The only other competitor was Renault Logan. Humm, i have nothing to say about it. It gives 3kms more than Dzire do in a litre of diesel plus it was fairly cheaper in price too, but Bad interiors, Bad exteriors, no modification can easily make it look good. I am talking about the Indian Logan. It badly needs some changes. Anyways….since no other option, i had to go for Dzire. Plus’ i had already waited for 3 months…so i needed it whatsoever.
To those who understand the technical functionalities, Maruti Swift Dzire (Diesel) has a 1.3L Diesel Direct Injection System a.k.a the DDIS Engine. This engine delivers so much performance, fuel efficiency, driving pleasure and durability. And reduced noise and vibration levels is the other important thing. It has a 1248cc engine that delivers 75bhp@4000rpm and maximum torque of 190@2000 along with Turbocharger and Intercooler! 5 Gear shifts, superor drive and low fuel consumption. It’s suppose to give a mileage of 22kms in a litre of diesel. Fot US conversion, i think it should be 84kms a gallon of diesel. It’s body type is known as “Notchback“. The car by default comes with 14″ tubeless JK tires. Umm….That needed a change big time. So i bought good 10 spoke 15″ alloys and got Yokohama‘s tires to make my car get a little sporty look. Ofcourse i got Sun Control Fiming on the glasses.
For those who are not into so technical things, you may just want to know the details in one line. It’s a pearl arctic metallic white colored Dzire with black filming and good looking alloys! 
For everyone, enjoy some pics and if you have any question, please do ask me.

Congrats for such a wonderful car……

Nice car… I own one tooo….
Need to post some better pictures, especially front, back and side profiles with a steady hand on camera and proper sunlight.
Congrats
About Sunlight, well it was specially parked half way across garage so that i could take pic in both shade and sunlight at same time.
“Special Effects” Bidu!
As for the steady hands, i took these pics with iPhone camera. So clarity and Image Stabilization were compromised. Don’t worry….i will take more pics time to time with my Canon IXY Digital 25 IS
Thanks for sharing your dream of having a swift dzire car. It’s really good and keep
your dreams sharing with friends. May this car bring great success in your life!
Thanks WSI. I wish you success with your site as well
Congrats Sharat
Nice car selected there..
Thanks Chetan
congrats
i am also looking for dzire vdi from last 3-4 months,how u get the car tell me the way
Vishal, it all depends on place to place. Dzire’s availability increases as you go south in India. There is a bit waiting period here in my city. I waited for nearly 3 months.
If you want it sooner, then purchasing it as premium is the only option. Any colored Dzire (Diesel) is available at 30-40k price and white is available at 50k etc. Think about it!
thanks
Hi Sharat, I’ve booked Swift DZire VDI too and the waiting period is 4 month (expected to get it in November). Iwas planning to change tyre 165/80R14 to 185/70R14 (as suggested by some experts), but you went for 15″? What’s the mileage now? Can you post more pics of back view as well as front view to have a good look at the 15″ tyres. Doesn’t the 15″ tyre protrude outside. Kindly advise.
[...] my friend Sumit Bahl suggested in my previous post “Maruti Swift Dzire – Owned!“i needed to put some better quality pics of my new Swift Dzire. I took the last pictures with [...]
KKK, 185/70R14 was suggested to me by Maruti guys as well. That’s the best option in Dzire considering the fact that you are going for 14″ alloys/tyres.
When i went shopping for alloys, i could hardly find any good alloys in 14″ category. All good alloys started with 15″ alloys. So after consulting some people i decided to get 15″ alloys with Yokohama’s A-Drive 195/60/R15. It works well and neither do they touch anywhere inside when i make sharp cuts, nor do they protrude outside. It’s perfectly fine.
As for average, well i still have to get the first service done! But after the first fuel tank refill, the car gave me an average of 16kmpl with A/C. My friend who have the same car got the average of 16kmpl as well! So it does not look that tyres will have a heavy impact on average!
As for the pics, i have posted some new pics here>> My Maruti Swift Dzire. It has some pics of alloys. But i will add more pics for your requirement!
Thanks
Hi Sharat,
Reading ur comments ,i m now proud owner of Dezire VDI(great car), & went to alloy wheel shop but i was not able to find good alloys in 14″& i went for 15″(195/60/15) But the concern is that now ride has become bit bummpy so what is ur opinion on changing it to 195/65/15.???will 65 going to touch the shell of the car while turning left right??
Yes Gagan. 195/65/15 may not suit Dzire. It may touch the inside panel of the wheelbase while making sharp turns. Plus anytime 3-4 guys are sitting in car, it’s bound to touch anyways.
Maybe you can try low profile tires along with the 15″ alloys! Will make sense.
Plus i hope you have the right air pressure in the tires. 30-32 is what i have got filled in. Most probably your car’s bumpy ride is because of extra air pressure. Get it checked!
Thanks a lot…. Sharat
Clarifications required :
1. Low profile tyres mean??
2.I have gone for Federal tyres & they are looking very broad , i hope it is same with u also , kindly send the Front & rear Pics .
2. 30-32 for which tyres (front & rear)?
Thanks
Gagan,
Low profile tires are the one with lesser width between the tire edge and the alloy/rim. In 195/65/15, 65 is the width of the tire. Low profile tires have very low width. Some of my friends have got 17″ alloys in Dzire along with low profile. I do not know the exact dimension details.
My car’s tires do not look very broad. They are broader than the default provided by Maruti but not very. It’s 195 in width, and am guessing it’s same with you! I haven’t clicked any pics recently. However you can check some pics in the other post i have. Click here >> Maruti Dzire. Click on those pics for a large view!
30-32 is Rear-Front air pressure! Don’t worry. When you approach for air check at Gas station, just tell the guy to fill in 30-32. He knows more than we do!
Hi Sharat,
Thanks for ur suggestions, and removing my doubts.
i m based in Chandigarh working in IT Park,will meet sometime.
Thanks a lot
Bye
Sure Gagan.
I live just around the corner. I can see IT Park from my home! (Am At M.D.C)
So….will catchup sometime.
Hi
I am planing to Buy Swift Dzire VDi, please tell me after your first service whats you are getting AVG,
how much these allyos wheels & Tyre cost to you.
revert
Dinesh
Dinesh, i am getting an average of 17kmpl at the moment, after first service, with AC and in city!
As for the tires the total expenses came out to be around 20k INR. I exchanged the company fitted tires on the day one and got Rs 1300 off on each tire. So it’s always better to exchange the tires the very first day to get better value!
Hi Sharat,
Thanks for ur feedback, i would like to know what is the mileage the swift dzire you are getting now and whether any maintenence issues you have faced till date.
Thanks Sharat
Hi Cavin
I am getting a mileage of 17kmpl in city with A/C, after one service.
I haven’t had any maintenance issues so far! All looks to be perfect as on now!
Hi Sharat,
As You are using Yokohama A drive tyres. What is the performance in respect of comfort and noise.
How much did you pay for one tyre(A drive), I m planning to change it to Yokohama or Michillin XM1. Just suggest
Regards
Thanks
