Not all cars are created equal. There are some vehicles that were designed to serve a specific purpose. Yet, there are those that are intended for general use. Here are some of the features that make the Suzuki Dzire an excellent runabout vehicle:
1. Fuel Efficiency. The Dzire was able to achieve a remarkable 25.81 kilometers per liter during Suzuki’s internal test that was observed and certified by the Automobile Association of the Philippines (AAP). Of course, actual fuel consumption varies depending on driving conditions but even only half of the rated figure is still a double-digit mileage.
2. Comfy Seating for 5. The cabin is quite spacious for a small car. There’s plenty of head room and legroom for all occupants. The air conditioning vent for passengers at the back help keep the interior cool even when driving under the sun.
3. Peppy Engine. The improved K12M engine is more compact with increased fuel efficiency compared to the previous model. It is equipped with direct action intake VVT, 4 Cylinder, DOHC, 16 valve that delivers a maximum 82 hp of power and 113 nm of torque.
4. Auto Gear Shift. You get the convenience of an automatic transmission and the level of control and efficiency of a manual. You can also engage the manual mode to enable you to shift gears as you please.
5. Pedestrian Injury Mitigating Body. The structure of Dzire’s bonnet, front windscreen wiper area, front bumper and other parts absorb impacts with the aim of mitigating head and leg injuries in the event of a collision with pedestrian.
6. New-generation Platform HEARTECT. The Dzire rests on a new-generation platform “HEARTECT” that delivers enhanced fundamental vehicle performance due to being light and highly rigid. A continuous frame that increases underbody stiffness. The new frame is characterized by a smooth, curving form that effectively disperses impact energy in the case of a collision. This greatly contributes to lower fuel consumption with vast improvements to the fundamental vehicle performance in terms of running , turning and stopping.
7. Styling with Character. The front incorporates a wide open grille with an aggressive bumper that truly fits in with the authentic sedan styling. The increased overall width emphasizes the boldness of the lower body and the compact cabin. The rear styling features a skirt-like bumper which catches the energy from the front and expressive side character lines.
