The 2025 Suzuki Dzire is a subcompact sedan that has earned its place in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia as one of the most affordable and practical city cars. Built on the same lightweight Heartect platform as the third-generation Suzuki Swift, the Dzire offers a spacious cabin, excellent fuel economy, and low ownership costs. It is sold in two trims in the KSA market — GL and GLX — both powered by a fuel-efficient engine paired with an automatic transmission. The Dzire’s balanced combination of reliability, comfort, and price point has made it a popular choice for individuals, small families, and even fleet buyers across the Kingdom.
The Suzuki Dzire features a single engine and transmission configuration across both available trims. Under the hood is a 1.2-litre 4-cylinder petrol engine producing 82 horsepower and 113 Nm of torque. It is paired with a 5-speed automatic transmission and a front-wheel-drive (FWD) layout, making it suitable for urban commutes and short highway trips.
The Dzire’s engine may not deliver thrilling performance, but it shines in terms of smoothness, fuel economy, and reliability. It accelerates comfortably in city traffic and offers a light steering feel, ideal for navigating tight roads or crowded parking lots in cities like Riyadh and Jeddah.
Where the Suzuki Dzire truly excels is fuel efficiency, with an average consumption of around 21.0 km/l, making it one of the most economical cars in its segment. The GL and GLX trims share this same powertrain, though the GLX benefits from slightly more refined suspension tuning and improved ride quality, especially at higher speeds.
The Suzuki Dzire exterior reflects a clean and compact design, with subtle chrome touches and a wide front grille that give it a more upmarket appearance than its price suggests.
The base GL trim includes halogen headlamps, body-colored door handles and side mirrors, and 14-inch steel wheels with full wheel covers. It is a practical and functional setup suited for daily driving without added embellishments.
Stepping up to the GLX trim, the Dzire gets a touch of elegance. Chrome accents are added to the front grille and door handles, while the headlights are equipped with LED daytime running lights. It also features front fog lamps, power-adjustable and power-folding side mirrors with integrated turn signals, and stylish 15-inch dual-tone alloy wheels, all of which enhance its road presence.
Inside, the Suzuki Dzire interior offers a well-laid-out cabin with good space for a compact sedan. The rear seat provides ample legroom, and the overall cabin layout focuses on functionality.
The GL trim comes equipped with fabric seats, manual air conditioning, a basic infotainment system with USB and AUX connectivity, and a 2-speaker sound setup. In contrast, the GLX steps up the comfort with automatic climate control, a 7-inch touchscreen display with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, rear AC vents, push-button start, and steering-mounted controls. The upholstery and materials also feel more refined in the GLX, offering a more premium experience without a significant price jump.
The technology suite in the Suzuki Dzire focuses on essentials, especially in the base trim. Both trims come equipped with dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, rear parking sensors, and ISOFIX child seat anchors.
The GLX trim adds a few more modern touches such as a rearview camera, Bluetooth hands-free calling, and smart keyless entry. The infotainment system is responsive and supports smartphone mirroring, allowing drivers to use navigation apps, stream music, and take calls easily.
While it may not be packed with advanced driver-assistance features, the Dzire covers all the basics and includes thoughtful tech that supports safe and convenient driving.
The Suzuki Dzire in KSA is known for its durability and minimal upkeep. Backed by Suzuki’s distributor, Najeeb Auto in Saudi Arabia, the Dzire benefits from a wide service network and affordable maintenance packages.
The sedan comes with a 3-year/100,000 km warranty, and routine servicing is recommended every 10,000 km or 6 months, whichever comes first. Spare parts are easy to find and cost-effective, which contributes to its reputation for low ownership costs. Owners in the KSA have consistently praised the Dzire for its reliability in everyday use and low incidence of mechanical issues.
