Suzuki Dzire 2023 1.2L GLX

While the Honda City 2023 has a starting price of AED 70,900, the Suzuki Dzire 2023 1.2L GLX is priced at AED 42,900 including VAT. This model features one of two available trim levels, the 1.2L-GLX, which is equipped with essential safety and comfort features such as Airbags, Brake Assist (BA), Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD), immobilizer, and central locking. Additional conveniences include cupholders, fabric seats, foldable rear seats, door mirrors with side turn signals, electric door mirrors, halogen headlamps, and power windows for both front and rear.

Powered by a 1.2-litre 4-cylinder petrol engine, the Dzire generates 82 horsepower and 113 Nm of torque, making it a reliable choice for urban commuting. In comparison, the Honda City boasts a more powerful 1.5-litre engine.

For the United Arab Emirates, the average price of the Dzire across all versions is AED 39,900. Considering an annual depreciation of 15%, we anticipate the 1.2L-GLX will be valued around AED 36,465 in the used car market by next year.

With a 37-litre fuel tank and an average fuel consumption of 6L per 100 kilometers, filling up the 1.2L-GLX will cost approximately AED 108.41, given the current fuel price of AED 2.93 per liter for unleaded gasoline 95. Assuming an average commute of 25,000 kilometers per year, this translates to about six fill-ups, totaling AED 650 annually.

The Dzire is particularly popular in the UAE for its affordability and efficiency, making it a favored choice among first-time buyers and those seeking a budget-friendly sedan. With its compact design, the Dzire is well-suited for navigating busy city streets while offering ample interior space for passengers and cargo. The model's reputation for reliability and low maintenance costs further enhances its appeal in the competitive UAE market.
