Maruti Suzuki Hybrid Version Launched: The country’s largest car company Maruti Suzuki has launched the hybrid version of its popular sedan Dzire in the Philippines.
This is the same car that was updated in India last year and became Maruti’s first 5-star safety car. Now with hybrid technology, this car can also rock in terms of mileage. It is expected that it will soon come to India as well.
These cars will compete
Maruti has tested Swift Hybrid in India, which suggests that Dzire Hybrid may also come to the Indian market soon. This car will compete with cars like Hyundai Aura, Honda Amaze and Tata Tigor.
