In India, the Maruti Suzuki Swift is a well-liked hatchback that is renowned for its dependable performance, plush amenities, and aggressive styling. The current Swift model has a 1.2-liter K-Series Dual-Jet Dual-VVT engine that produces 90PS and 113Nm, and it costs between Rs 5.99 lakh and Rs 9.03 lakh (ex-showroom). The engine is available with a 5-speed manual or 5-speed AMT gearbox, and a manual gearbox with CNG is also an option. The car’s stated mileage is 30.90 km/kg for CNG, 22.56 km/l for petrol AMT, and 22.38 km/l for petrol MT.
It is anticipated that the fourth-generation Maruti Suzuki Swift will make its Indian debut in the first part of May 2024, possibly during the second week. The vehicle made its debut at the Japan Mobility Show in 2023, and it has since been spotted in India going through road testing. The front of the 2018 Swift has been changed with new fog lamps, a reworked front bumper, boomerang-shaped LED DRLs, and a revised grille and headlights. Although the alloy wheels are new, the car’s side profile resembles that of the current model. The vehicle has a redesigned rear bumper, a tailgate, and new LED taillamps on the back. Moreover, the vehicle has a 360-degree camera setup that includes cameras mounted on the tailboard, grille and ORVMs.
The new Swift’s cabin draws inspiration from the company’s current model lineup, with the Maruti Suzuki Baleno serving as a source for the infotainment system and temperature control unit. The steering wheel doesn’t change. It is not anticipated that the India-spec Swift would include ADAS or ventilated front seats when it is introduced. The Swift concept was shown off at the Japan Mobility Show in 2023. The instrument panel is still analogue in nature.
The price of the new Maruti Suzuki Swift will be more than that of the existing model, and it’s unclear if the engine—a 1.2-liter K-Series Dual-Jet Dual-VVT—will remain the same or be modified for even greater fuel economy.
