Maruti Suzuki is also gearing up to launch the next-gen Swift in India next month. The new Maruti Suzuki Swift gets cosmetic updates in the form of angular headlamps, a wider grille, and a new bumper. The model that was unveiled in Japan last year boasted a free-standing 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system, wireless charging, a 360-degree camera, and an electric sunroof. However, these features are not expected to make it to the India-spec Swift. The Indian version of the hatchback will get safety features like ABS with EBD, ESP, and seat belt reminders for rear passengers as standard.

Next-gen Swift

The next-gen Maruti Suzuki Swift will be powered by a 1.2-litre three-cylinder Z12E petrol engine. This engine will be slightly tweaked to produce a better output on the India-spec model of the hatchback. Expect it to put up similar numbers as the K series engine powering the current-gen Swift. More details will be made available upon launch.

Conclusion

Prices for the current-gen Maruti Suzuki Swift now start at Rs 6.24 lakh and go up to Rs 9.03 lakh. It rivals the likes of the Hyundai Grand i10 Nios, Renault Kwid, Tata Altroz, and Tata Tiago.
