Maruti Dzire Dimensions: Boot Space, Length and Legroom Compared

For a fleet owner or a person who wants best mileage (low running costs), Maruti Suzuki Dzire would mean a lot. And 2026 car sales explains that very well, since the model was the most selling one, clocking 2,14,488 units, overall. So, what’s special about the model which makes it so popular among Indian buyers?

The Dzire car has long been the answer for buyers who want a hatchback's ease of driving along with a proper boot behind it. It is a familiar sight outside housing societies, offices and airports. That being said, the foundation lies inside Maruti Dzire Dimensions, which thoroughly explains how much the car measures inside out.

So, let's find out what measurements the Dzire has and how it stacks up against its rivals like Mahindra Scorpio-N dimensions and the Maruti Ertiga.

Maruti Suzuki Dzire Dimensions: Overview

Before we get into individual measurements, here is a quick look at the numbers that define the Dzire's footprint and the space it offers inside. These figures are for the current fourth-generation model and they are the same as the Swift Dzire dimensions you may have seen quoted for the previous generation, apart from small changes in height and boot space.

Dimension	Measurement
Length	3,995 mm
Width	1,735 mm
Height	1,525 mm
Wheelbase	2,450 mm
Ground clearance	163 mm
Minimum turning radius	4.8 metres
Boot space	382 litres
Seating capacity	5 occupants
Fuel tank capacity	37 litres (petrol)

1. Maruti Suzuki Dzire Length

Length is the first thing most of us look at in a sedan. From the front bumper to the rear bumper, the Dzire measures 3,995 mm or 3.995 metres. That is just 5 mm short of four metres.

Length measurement	Value
Dzire car length	3,995 mm
In centimetres	399.5 cm
Dzire length in feet	13.11 ft
In inches	Approximately 157.28 inches

What does this imply for you? It is just a bit shorter than the average parking space in most societies, making it easy to park in most societies. It also offers a bit more boot space than other hatchbacks such as the Swift, which doesn't give space in the boot. This helps the car to grow without becoming too unwieldy to drive in traffic.

When thinking of a garage, keep the length of at least 16 feet in mind. The added legroom allows for more maneuverability when walking around the vehicle and opening the trunk without getting caught between the bumper and the vehicle.

2. Maruti Suzuki Dzire Width

The next key measurement is width. The Dzire is 1,735 mm wide, which comes to approximately 5.69 feet. This tells you how much lateral space the car occupies, which matters a lot in narrow lanes and tight parking bays.

Width measurement	Value
Overall width	1,735 mm
In centimetres	173.5 cm
Dzire car width in feet	5.69 ft
In inches	Approximately 68.31 inches

The Dzire is the broadest car in its class offering a paper-thin 180mm of width. The added width makes the rear seat easier to get in and out of, and allows three passengers to sit comfortably in the back without being cramped. Nevertheless, it is not so broad that it will be difficult to place it on a busy street.

When parking in the garage, keep in mind the space required to maneuver around and the space required for the mirror to fit.

3. Maruti Suzuki Dzire Height

Measured from the ground to the roof, the Dzire stands 1,525 mm tall. That is approximately 5 feet. This keeps the profile low enough for easy entry and exit and it is not a concern for underpasses or basement parking.

Height measurement	Value
Overall height	1,525 mm
In centimetres	152.5 cm
Dzire height in feet	5.00 ft
In inches	Approximately 60.04 inches

Where height really counts is headroom. Reviewers have pointed out that rear headroom is on the tighter side, partly because the sunroof lowers the headliner. If you or your regular passengers are tall, sit in the rear seat during the test drive before you decide.

4. Maruti Suzuki Dzire Wheelbase

The wheelbase is the distance between the centre of the front tyre and the centre of the rear tyre. The Dzire's wheelbase is 2,450 mm, which translates to approximately 8.04 feet.

Wheelbase measurement	Value
Wheelbase	2,450 mm
In centimetres	245 cm
In feet	8.04 ft
In inches	Approximately 96.46 inches

Why does it matter? A longer wheelbase generally leaves more room between the front and rear axles for the cabin. It also supports stability at highway speeds. The Dzire shares its wheelbase with the Swift, so the extra length of the Dzire does not come from the cabin. It goes into the boot.

5. Maruti Suzuki Dzire Ground Clearance

If your daily route is full of speed breakers and broken patches, Dzire ground clearance is a number worth checking. The Dzire offers 163 mm of unladen ground clearance.

Ground clearance measurement	Value
Unladen ground clearance	163 mm
In centimetres	16.3 cm
In inches	Approximately 6.42 inches

That is enough for ordinary city roads, but it is a little lower than some of its rivals, as the comparison table below shows. With a full load of passengers and luggage, the clearance reduces further. Take sharp speed breakers and steep ramps slowly and the underside should stay out of trouble.

That is enough for ordinary city roads, but it is a little lower than some of its rivals. For buyers who prioritise higher ground clearance and a more rugged stance, you can also check the Mahindra Bolero Neo dimensions.

6. Maruti Suzuki Dzire Turning Radius

Ever struggled with a U-turn in a narrow lane? That is where turning radius comes in. The Dzire has a minimum turning radius of 4.8 metres, which suits tight city streets.

Turning measurement	Value
Minimum turning radius	4.8 metres
In centimetres	480 cm
In feet	Approximately 15.75 ft

Keep in mind that turning radius is not the same as the road width needed to complete a U-turn. If you drive through narrow lanes every day, try the car in similar conditions before you buy it.

7. Maruti Suzuki Dzire Boot Space

This is where the Dzire pulls ahead of the hatchbacks. The boot offers 382 litres of space, which is comfortably enough for a family's luggage on a weekend trip.

Boot space detail	Specification
Boot capacity	382 litres
Seating capacity	5 occupants
Fuel tank capacity	37 litres (petrol)

There are two things to keep in mind. First, the rear seat backrest is fixed and does not fold down, so you cannot extend the boot into the cabin for long items. Second, the CNG version gives up some boot space to the cylinder, so check the boot in person if you are considering it.

8. Maruti Suzuki Dzire Legroom and Cabin Space

There are no official measurements of legroom available for Maruti, but the wheelbase and actual cabin experience are the best ways to gauge the legroom. The Dzire is quite spacious with a wheelbase of 2,450 mm and a width of 1,735 mm providing ample rear knee room and reviewers say it's comfortable for two adults and three for shorter journeys.

Long-distance traveling comfort is provided by a fold-down centre armrest and rear AC vents. The biggest giveaway is headspace and it doesn't seem like much for those around six feet tall. If you're traveling full load regularly, ensure that everyone is in your vehicle before you make a decision.

Maruti Swift vs Maruti Dzire: Dimensions Compared

Both cars share a platform, so it is natural to compare the two. Here is how the Swift Dzire dimensions stack up against the Swift hatchback.

Dimensions	Maruti Suzuki Dzire	Maruti Suzuki Swift
Length	3,995 mm	3,860 mm
Width	1,735 mm	1,735 mm
Height	1,525 mm	1,520 mm
Wheelbase	2,450 mm	2,450 mm
Ground clearance	163 mm	163 mm
Boot space	382 litres	265 litres

The Dzire is 135 mm longer than the Swift and almost every millimetre of it goes into the boot, which grows by 117 litres. Width, wheelbase and ground clearance are identical, so you get the same cabin and the same stance with a much bigger boot.

Both cars share a platform, so it is natural to compare the two. Here is how the Swift Dzire dimensions stack up against the Swift hatchback. For a detailed breakdown of the hatchback’s measurements, check our complete Swift dimensions guide.

Maruti Dzire vs Honda Amaze vs Hyundai Aura vs Tata Tigor: Dimensions Compared

The Dzire is one of four compact sedans in this space. Here is how they compare on paper.

Dimensions	Maruti Dzire	Honda Amaze	Hyundai Aura	Tata Tigor
Length	3,995 mm	3,995 mm	3,995 mm	3,993 mm
Width	1,735 mm	1,733 mm	1,680 mm	1,677 mm
Height	1,525 mm	1,500 mm	1,520 mm	1,532 mm
Wheelbase	2,450 mm	2,470 mm	2,450 mm	2,450 mm
Ground clearance	163 mm	172 mm	165 mm	170 mm (petrol)
Boot space	382 litres	416 litres	402 litres	419 litres

All four are almost identical in length. The Dzire is the widest, which helps with rear shoulder room. The Amaze has the longest wheelbase and the most ground clearance, while the Tigor and the Amaze lead on boot space. The Dzire has the smallest boot of the four, but the gap to the Aura is only 20 litres.

Ultimately, the best fit depends on your parking space and your passengers, not on the numbers alone.

Conclusion

The dimensions of the Swift Dzire make it a good option for those who do not want to sacrifice the size of their sedan. It's easy to handle in the city at 3,995mm and plus the 382-litre boot is a step up on that of the Swift hatchback. Enough for normal roads, the Dzire ground clearance at 163 mm is lower than some of its competitors.

However, that's not the only thing. Before purchase inspect the garage length as well as for space for doors and mirrors and sit in the rear seat to test headroom. The Dzire car is a late buy and it doesn't lack fault to find.

Ultimately, the best fit depends on your parking space and your passengers. If you prefer a compact SUV with higher ground clearance and a more versatile cabin, compare these figures with the Tata Nexon dimensions.
