Maruti Suzuki opened bookings for its upcoming refreshed compact sedan Dzire on Friday.

First unveiled on April 24, the new Dzire is "not a Swift with a boot, but an independent full-fledged sedan", the automaker emphasised.

The 2017 Dzire looks bigger than the outgoing version, which the company continues to sell to fleet-owners as Dzire Tour. Yet, it's just under four metres in length, 40mm wider and shorter in height

The new Dzire comes with all contemporary family sedan features, amid rise of new rivals such as the Tata Tigor, Ford Figo Aspire and the new Hyundai Xcent launched last month.

It gets the same 1.2-litre K-series petrol and the 1.3-litre DDiS diesel engines. Maruti Suzuki now offers five-speed manual and Auto-Gear Shift AMT gearbox options in both petrol as well as diesel.

Since its launch in 2008 and through a sub-four-metre makeover in 2012, over 13 lakh units have been rolled out of Maruti Suzuki's factories.
