It’s anticipated that the fourth-generation Maruti Suzuki Swift would soon hit the Indian market. It has already been introduced in its native nation, Japan, and will soon be available for purchase in the UK in April. Suzuki has now disclosed every aspect of the UK-spec Swift, including its dimensions, engine specifications, available versions, and some of its most important features.
The current India-spec variant on sale is 15 mm shorter than the UK-spec model. Nevertheless, its wheelbase and width are the same as those of the Swift built for India. The model sold in our nation is up to 35 mm longer than the UK-spec model.
Available Powertrain
The new 1.2-liter 3-cylinder Z series petrol engine, which is seen on the Japan-spec hatchback, is available for the Suzuki Swift in the UK. It produces a bit more torque but the same amount of power as the Japan-spec variant. Customers in these two markets can choose between a manual and automatic 12V mild hybrid system for the new hatchback. Suzuki will continue to provide the UK-spec Swift with an all-wheel drive (AWD) option, just as the Japan-spec vehicle.
They anticipate that the new Swift will stay with the 2WD layout and have the same selection of gearbox options when it arrives in India.
Highlights of the Features
The new UK-spec Swift shares many features with the Japanese hatchback, including a revised cabin. A 9-inch touchscreen, 16-inch alloy wheels, auto air conditioning, LED headlights, electrically movable ORVMs, and linked automotive technology will all be included. Its safety net consists of several advanced driving assistance systems (ADAS), including rear parking sensors, a reversing camera, and adaptive cruise control.
Price And Anticipated India Release
Prices for the 2024 Maruti Suzuki Swift are anticipated to begin at Rs 6 lakh (ex-showroom) when it is introduced in India in April. It will resume its fight with the Hyundai Grand i10 Nios and serve as a substitute for the Renault Triber, a sub-4 million crossover MPV.
