Conclusion
Now that the 3rd-gen Dzire is available as a different model under the Maruti Tour range, the base LXi variant of the new car could have been equipped with basic infotainment, which is a miss here. For Rs. 1 lakh more than the base variant, the VXi trim with rear A/C vents, rear armrest, 7-inch infotainment head-unit and wireless Android Auto & Apple CarPlay is available. This variant also comes with AMT and CNG options, which increases the value for money quotient.
The ZXi and ZXi+ are priced at Rs. 1.10 lakh and Rs. 1.90 lakh, respectively, over the VXi variant. While the ZXi comes with a CNG option, the ZXi+ comes in petrol only. However, most of the features in the top variant are just “nice to have” and can be traded for the fuel-efficient CNG options of the mid variants.
Do you think that VXi is the most value-for-money variant, also if you had to buy, which variant would you pick?
Here’s what BHPian saikishor had to say in this matter:
Easy pick. ZXi+ MT for me. It has all desirable features. Picking this variant will not make one feel like they lost something down the line. I am all against AMT transmissions.
ZXi is good vfm and so is VXi.
Meanwhile, here’s what BHPian ram.iyer95 shared:
As someone who is planning to buy this car in a few months, I would pick the ZXi in the AMT guise.
I was contemplating between the VXi and the ZXi. VXi is VFM alright, but those skinny 165 section R14 tyres look terrible; atleast for the sake of better grip and safety, a tyre upgrade will be necessary. ZXi+ alloy wheels are available as an MGA optional accessory and cost around ₹34k for a set of 4. 185/65 R15 tyres would cost around ₹5.5k-6.5k each, depending on the brand. A reverse camera will also need to be added.
So, all in all, I’ll have to shell out another ₹50k-₹60k extra if I get the VXi, to make it suitable for my needs.
For ₹1.2-₹1.3 lakh extra (on road price difference) over the VXi, the ZXi provides all these features plus a lot more niceties like keyless push start, automatic climate control, LED headlamps, TPMS, tweeters etc. So, I feel the ZXi delivers better value.
ZXi+ can also be considered if the budget allows for it, but for the AMT variant, the price delta will be a lot higher due to increased tax.
