Powertrain, Efficiency & (Light) Capability

Although not a traditional off‑roader or tow vehicle, some mechanical and capability points are relevant.

Engines & Transmissions

• 1.2L Z12E petrol
• 3‑cylinder, naturally aspirated
• 80 bhp (60 kW), 112 Nm
• DualJet, Dual VVT for efficiency and smoothness
• 5‑speed MT or 5‑speed AMT (AGS)

• 1.2L Z12E CNG bi‑fuel
• 3‑cylinder, NA
• 69 bhp (51 kW), 102 Nm
• Tuned for CNG operation with factory S‑CNG kit
• 5‑speed MT only

Fuel Efficiency (indicative)

Official Indian cycle figures for the Z‑series Dzire point to

• Petrol MT/AMT: ~24–25 km/l under test conditions
• CNG MT: ~30+ km/kg under test conditions

Real‑world mileage varies with usage and load.

Towing & Payload

• The Dzire is not rated for heavy towing; light utility trailers may be possible but manufacturer towing ratings are typically modest and not a core use case.
• Payload (passengers + cargo) is typical for a compact sedan; kerb weights around 910–1,000 kg and GVW near 1,400–1,500 kg imply a practical payload band in the 400–500 kg range depending on variant.

CNG Bi‑fuel Specifics (VXi CNG & ZXi CNG)

While the Dzire is not an EV or hybrid, the CNG bi‑fuel system has some key specification aspects similar to an alternate‑energy powertrain.

• Factory S‑CNG system with integrated petrol/CNG management via dual‑ECU.
• CNG tank mounted under the boot floor with reinforced substructure.
• Dedicated CNG filling nozzle and safety‑valve architecture.
• Switchable operation between CNG and petrol via a cabin switch.
• Separate fuel level indicators for petrol and CNG in the instrument cluster.
• Optimised intake and valve timing for CNG to maintain drivability with reduced power output.

These features apply specifically to VXi CNG and ZXi CNG; all other variants are petrol‑only.
