2024 Maruti Suzuki Dzire vs Hyundai Aura specs comparison — Too similar?

The new Maruti Dzire has redefined standards of the sub-compact sedan segment in terms of styling, features, as well as safety ratings. How do other sedans such as the Hyundai Aura compare with the updated Dzire? Here’s a 2024 Maruti Suzuki Dzire vs Hyundai Aura specs comparison to make it easier for you to arrive at an answer.

Engine and transmission options

The new Dzire has ditched the four-cylinder motor for a three-cylinder that debuted on the latest Maruti Swift earlier this year. The Aura continues to come with a 1.2-litre four-cylinder motor. Both engines get the option of a factory-fitted CNG kit or an AMT gearbox. Power and torque outputs are comparable and are mentioned in the table below.

Design and dimensions

The new Maruti Suzuki Dzire looks upmarket with updated headlamps, rear lamps, and a large front grille. The design resembles that of a German luxury brand and that strengthens its appeal. The overall exterior design looks sophisticated and quite appealing. The Hyundai Aura, on the other hand, looks sportier with curves and a larger rear spoiler. The styling of the Aura isn’t inferior either, it’s rather different and comes together well. We believe that it comes down to personal choice in the styling department.

Interior and features

Both cars get a dual-tone dashboard with a similar placement of functions and elements. Most of the features are also common, but the Dzire gets some like a sunroof and 360-degree cameras that the Aura misses on. The Aura gets a cooled glovebox which isn’t found on the Dzire. Climate controls on both cars have thankfully been kept physical, while rest of the functions can be accessed via the touchscreen.
