The Suzuki Dzire, rebranded as the Suzuki Swift Sedan in Colombia and Guatemala, is a subcompact notchback sedan manufactured by Suzuki primarily for the Indian market since 2008. This model was created as a sedan version of the popular Swift hatchback.
Initially released in 2008, the Dzire was based on the first generation of the Swift hatchback. It was designed to cater to the Indian market's preference for smaller sedans, offering a compact yet spacious sedan option. To take advantage of tax benefits available for vehicles under 4 meters in length in India, Suzuki transformed the Dzire into a sub-4-meter sedan.
