It’s no surprise though as the Dzire has a hybrid petrol engine and Maruti Suzuki has always made frugal engines with class-leading fuel efficiency figures. In terms of performance, though, the Aura turbo blows everything out of the water. Its massive torque band covers the bottom and mid-range of the rev band and there’s nothing else in this class that can even come close to matching the Aura turbo’s performance. While the Maruti Suzuki Dzire has an exceptionally efficient engine, the Aura has an exceptionally torquey and powerful petrol engine.
