Following its debut in Japan, the Maruti Suzuki Swift 2024 has been frequently sighted testing in India, suggesting that it will go on sale the following year. A number of minor adjustments have been made to the Swift to give it a modern look, but there have also been some significant improvements made to the features and safety.
Here are six safety features and features of the 2024 Maruti Suzuki Swift that are absent from the current generation vehicle.
Swift 2024 vs. Current Generation: Safety and feature comparison
Information and entertainment system
The current generation of the Swift gets a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system, while the upcoming 2024 Maruti Suzizki Swift gets a larger 9-inch unit, similar to the Brezza, Baleno, and Fronx, with wireless smartphone connectivity, navigation, and connected car tech. Infotainment systems in cars are becoming larger and smarter.
Charging wirelessly
In India, wireless charging has gained popularity as well. While the current-generation Maruti Suzuki Swift lacks this function, the upcoming 2024 model will include wireless charging. Wireless charging is handy, however it can cause issues with charging if the phone wanders around due to poor roads.
shifters with paddles
A new 1.2-liter three-cylinder Z-series petrol engine will power the Maruti Suzuki Swift in 2024. It is anticipated to produce marginally more power than the present 1.2-liter four-cylinder K-Series engine, which produces 89 horsepower and 113 Nm of torque. Paddle shifters are an option with the new engine, although it is unknown if the gearbox is an AMT or an automatic.
Park brake using an electronic device
The electronic park brake on the Maruti Suzuki Swift 2024 will be a significant improvement over the cable-operated unit on the present model. In addition to being more effective, e-park brakes eliminate the requirement for manual adjustments to accommodate stretched cables because they don’t have a cable.
360-degree lens
Having an additional pair of eyes is always beneficial, especially if they can see in all directions. The Maruti Suzuki Swift that is now on sale lacks a 360-degree camera, which the new model has to monitor the environment around the vehicle.
ADAS
Although it is unlikely that the ADAS technology found in the Maruti Suzuki Swift international specification would find its way into Indian vehicles, some functions, such as blind spot monitoring, which was tested on a test mule, will be retained. This function is absent from the current generation Swift, thus if Maruti Suzuki introduces the Swift with ADAS, it will be the most reasonably priced ADAS-equipped vehicle in India.
