As one can see from the table, the only variant that didn’t get a price increase is the entry-level Dzire GA MT variant.
Suzuki PH also didn’t mention any reasons for the price increase. That said though, it is common practice for manufacturers to adjust a model’s price tag year by year for a variety of reasons. This may be related to the supply of the said model, the global chip shortage, the demand for the said vehicle, and many other possible reasons.
Of note, the Suzuki Dzire is a subcompact four-door sedan that comes equipped with a 1.2-liter inline-4 gasoline engine. The said power unit puts out 82 hp and 113 Nm of torque.
