Suzuki Philippines officially launched the All-New Dzire Hybrid at the 2025 Manila International Auto Show (MIAS), introducing a more efficient and feature-packed version of its compact sedan. The launch was led by Norihide Takei, Director and General Manager for the Automobile Division, as part of the company’s 50th anniversary in the Philippines.
“We are proud to unveil the All-New Dzire Hybrid—a vehicle designed to give every Filipino a stylish yet practical driving experience,” said Takei. He emphasized the brand’s ongoing commitment to offering fuel-efficient and innovative vehicles tailored for local needs.
The new Dzire Hybrid features a refreshed design with a revised front fascia, chrome-accented grille, and updated LED headlamps. Its exterior is further enhanced with a sculpted body and redesigned rear combination lamps. The cabin offers a spacious layout with premium dual-tone accents, ergonomic improvements, and a driver-focused dashboard. The GLX variant has a 9-inch touchscreen display audio system that supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Rear passengers get added comfort with dedicated AC vents, ample legroom, and a foldable center armrest.
Suzuki’s new 1.2-liter Z12E 3-cylinder gasoline engine powers the sedan, paired with a hybrid system and Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). The hybrid setup enables features such as auto start-stop and electric motor assist, which aim to improve both fuel efficiency and driving comfort.
Safety has been upgraded significantly, with six standard airbags across all variants. Additional features include Electronic Stability Program (ESP), Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD), Hill Hold Control, and a rear parking camera with sensors. The vehicle has received a 5-Star ASEAN NCAP Safety Rating for Adult Occupancy.
