Suzuki rolls out a slick new look for the Dzire
The budget‑friendly compact sedan gets a fresh, all‑black cabin – a first for the model line.
A new interior to match a new exterior
Suzuki’s latest fourth‑generation Dzire hit the South African road in May 2025. It was launched with a clean, beige‑trimmed cabin that many drivers found a bit bland. That’s now behind the scenes. The local arm of the Japanese automaker has given the sedan a facelift, swapping the old beige interior for a sharp, black‑uppholstered interior.
“We wanted the Dzire to feel more modern and upscale without inflating the price, so we went with a darker, more premium feel inside,” said a Suzuki spokesperson.
The black interiors come in two variants:
| Feature | Beige‑trimmed (old) | Black‑trimmed (new) |
|---|---|---|
| Seat fabric | Light tan | Matte charcoal |
| Dashboard trim | Light wood‑tone | Darker grey laminate |
| Door panels | Beige accent | Black accents |
| In‑car tech finish | Light silver | Dark aluminium |
The change is subtle but noticeable. Drivers should be able to see the difference as soon as they slide into the car.
Why the change matters
- The black interior offers a more contemporary look that appeals to younger buyers.
- The palette gives the Dzire a sleeker, more premium feel without raising the price point.
- The update demonstrates Suzuki’s commitment to keeping the lineup fresh and competitive in the crowded compact‑car market.
Pricing
Suzuki hasn’t disclosed exact figures in the press release, but the updated Dzire will come in the same trim levels as before (the base model, the mid‑range, and the top‑tier). Full pricing details are available on the official Samsung website or at a local dealership.
What to watch for next
Suzuki plans to continue refining the Dzire’s features in the coming months, possibly incorporating more advanced tech and safety options. Keep an eye on dealer releases for any additional updates.
