Launch of Suzuki Dzire Hybrid: Why is it special?
Suzuki introduced its new hybrid car, Dzire Hybrid, for the first time at the 2025 Manila International Auto Show. The event was held on April 10. Suzuki Philippines Director and General Manager Norihide Takei led the launch event. He described the car as a “stylish and practical driving experience for every Filipino”. It has Suzuki’s 12V mild hybrid system, which consumes less fuel and improves performance.
Design and Look:
The look of the Suzuki Dzire Hybrid is quite attractive. Its front is new and a bit bold, with a chrome grille and multi-light LED headlights. Its body lines are smooth, and the rear lights have been redesigned, which makes this car look more premium. Talking about the inside, the dual-tone theme, comfortable seats, and a dashboard designed keeping the driver in mind make it even more special.
Apart from this, it also has features like a 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system, push-button start, and automatic climate control. Getting so many features in a budget-friendly package makes it a special deal.
Engine and Performance:
The new Dzire Hybrid car has a special 1.2-liter petrol engine called Z12E. This engine is a three-cylinder, and gives a very powerful performance. It produces 82 horsepower, which increases the fun of driving. Also, it gives a torque of 111 Newton-meters, which helps in moving the car forward quickly.
This vehicle has a 12-volt mild hybrid system, which works in conjunction with the engine. Also, it has a CVT gearbox, which makes driving even easier and more comfortable. It has features like auto start-stop and electric motor assist, which further improve the fuel efficiency of the car.
There is no confirmed news or official statement from the company about the mileage of this vehicle. But, the non-hybrid variant of Dzire, which is available in India, can run up to 24.79 km in one liter of petrol. The mileage of the vehicle depends on how you drive it. So, more can be expected from the hybrid version. This is great for those who want power as well as fuel savings.
Safety Features:
Suzuki Dzire Hybrid does not compromise on safety. Every model of this vehicle has six airbags, which provide protection from the front, sides, and top. This facility is included in all variants, so that every passenger can be kept completely safe.

This new hybrid model of the Suzuki Dzire has been introduced in the Philippines. It has been launched in two different variants. Both variants have their own features, which are designed to attract customers.
- GL CVT Hybrid: PHP 920,000 (approx. ₹13.9 lakhs)
- GLX CVT Hybrid: PHP 998,000 (approx. ₹15.08 lakhs)
This price is much higher than the non-hybrid Dzire sold in India, which starts at ₹ 6.84 lakh. But the reason for the high price is the hybrid technology and CVT gearbox provided in it.

According to some reports, Maruti Suzuki may soon launch this hybrid model in India as well. Dzire is already the best-selling sedan car in India. If hybrid technology is added to it, then it can become the choice of even more people. Its popularity can increase more than before, because it is not only stylish but will also save fuel. However, no confirmed information has been given by the company yet.
