Maruti has launched the new Swift Dzire Tour in India. The new car is based on the outgoing second generation Swift Dzire compact sedan. The model will be called the Dzire Tour leaving out the Swift prefix.

The new Dzire Tour comes with the option of a petrol and diesel engine mated to a five speed manual gearbox. The car is stripped off most its features. It comes with a black plastic front grille, black plastic mirrors and silver steel wheels. In the inside, it comes with dual tone interiors, manual AC and power windows. There is no music system included.

The petrol model is priced at Rs. 5.24 lakh and diesel at 5.99 lakh ex showroom Delhi. A CNG variat is expected to be launched later.

The new Dzire Tour will rival the Hyundai Xcent Prime in the Indian taxi and fleet market.
