Though, as expected, the 2020 Dzire facelift doesn't get too many bells and whistles as standard features. It is even bereft of body-coloured door handles and mirrors. The sedan rides on 14-inch steel wheels and the wheel covers are not a part of standard fitment. The company has included black stripes which are cheaper in cost to replace the chrome window trim in LXi entry-level variant. The cabin too is pretty plain with dual-tone fabric upholstery, Multi-Information Display (MID) and gear shift indicator being the only major features on offer. However, Maruti Suzuki has offered a plethora of safety features in the new sedan in the form of dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, front seatbelt reminder, ISOFIX child seat, reverse parking sensors and speed alert system.
