Suzuki Philippines unveils the all-new Dzire with hybrid technology at the 20th MIAS
Suzuki Philippines made a strong mark at the 2025 Manila International Auto Show (MIAS) with the launch of the All-New Suzuki Dzire Hybrid, a stylish and smart compact sedan now equipped with Suzuki’s hybrid system. The reveal was led by Suzuki Philippines’ Director and General Manager for Automobile Division Norihide Takei as part of the brand’s milestone celebration of 50 years in the Philippines.
In his speech, Takei highlighted the significance of this launch in Suzuki’s journey. “We are proud to unveil the All-New Dzire Hybrid—a vehicle designed to give every Filipino a stylish yet practical driving experience. With advanced features, hybrid efficiency, and premium styling, it redefines what a compact sedan can be,” he said while emphasizing Suzuki’s continuing efforts to offer innovative, fuel-efficient vehicles tailored for the Philippine market.
The all-new Dzire Hybrid showcases a more refined exterior with a redesigned front fascia, chrome-accented grille, and multi-light LED headlamps. Its sleek silhouette and sculpted body lines flow seamlessly into its new rear combination lamps, giving it a bold and elegant presence on the road. Inside, the Dzire features a spacious cabin with a premium, dual-tone interior accents, improved ergonomics, and a driver-centric dashboard layout. The GLX variant is equipped with a 9-inch touchscreen display audio system – compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto – delivering both function and connectivity. Rear passengers benefit from ample legroom, AC vents, and a foldable center armrest for added comfort.
Under the hood is Suzuki’s new 1.2L Z12E 3-cylinder gasoline engine paired with a hybrid system and a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). This setup enhances both driving performance and fuel efficiency, while the hybrid system enables energy-saving features like auto start-stop and electric motor assist. Drivers can expect smoother acceleration and quieter operation—ideal for both city and highway drives.
Safety remains a top priority with the All-New Dzire Hybrid, with six airbags now standard across all variants—including front, side, and curtain airbags for comprehensive occupant protection. It also comes equipped with Electronic Stability Program (ESP), Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD), Hill Hold Control, and rear parking sensors with a camera. Combined with its reinforced body structure, these advanced safety features have earned the Dzire a prestigious 5-Star Global NCAP Safety Rating for Adult Occupancy, offering confidence and peace of mind on every drive.
Suzuki Philippines announced that the All-New Dzire Hybrid will be available nationwide at all Suzuki dealerships by the end of the month, with prices set at P920,000 for the GL CVT Hybrid and P998,000 for the GLX CVT Hybrid.
