The next-gen Maruti Suzuki Swift retains the iconic DNA of the hatchback but sports some notable cosmetic upgrades that elevate its looks and bring them up to the current competition. The glossy black front grille exudes a premium look. The LED headlamps, bumper, and fog lights have been reworked too. In profile, the hatchback looks unmistakably Swift. The alloy wheels feature a new design and the rear door handles have been moved from the C-pillar to their conventional position.
Inside, the Maruti Suzuki Swift draws inspiration from the Baleno and Fronx. It gets a floating 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a 4.2-inch instrument cluster, wireless charging, Head-up Display, automatic climate control, rear AC vents, push start/stop, and more. Standard safety features include six airbags, Electronic Stability Program+, Hill Hold Assist, Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist, and 3-point seat belts for all seats with reminders.
Under the hood, the Maruti Suzuki Swift rocks a new 1.2-litre 3-cylinder Z12E engine that produces a maximum power output of 80hp and 112Nm of torque. This engine can be mated to a 5-speed manual or AMT gearbox. Unlike its Japanese counterpart, the Swift is not available with mild-hybrid tech in India. The hatchback offers a mileage of up to 25.75kmpl.
Speaking on the occasion, Mr Hisashi Takeuchi, Managing Director & CEO, Maruti Suzuki India Limited, said, “Since its launch in 2005, the Swift brand has been a symbol of excellence in the Indian automotive landscape. It pioneered the dynamism in the premium hatchback segment and captured the hearts of millions of customers. Our vision for the Epic New Swift is to build on its strong legacy by redefining the Joy of Mobility for Swift lovers and driving enthusiasts alike. The all-new Z-Series engine is a futuristic powertrain that brings about a new dimension of performance and sustainability, making it the most efficient hatchback in its segment. We are committed to meet and exceed our customers’ aspirations and will continue to steer the transformation of the Indian automobile industry by introducing advanced technologies for delivering superior performance.”
