The 2024 Maruti Swift, now in its fourth generation, marks a significant introduction in the Indian automotive market with its affordable pricing starting at Rs. 6.5 lakh (ex-showroom). Positioned competitively against rivals such as the Tata Tiago and Hyundai Grand i10 NIOS, the Swift offers a lineup of variants ranging from LXI to ZXI+ AT, maintaining the trim hierarchy seen in its previous iteration.
Retaining its iconic Mini Cooper-inspired design, the new Swift presents a bold and muscular appearance characterized by a clamshell-type bonnet, larger grille, and more aggressive bumper. Enhanced by LED projector headlights and fog lamps, along with fresh alloy wheel designs, the Swift exudes a captivating profile. At the rear, sharper tail lights and sporty bumpers complement conventional door handle placements.
Inside the cabin, the Swift introduces a revamped dashboard featuring a 9-inch freestanding infotainment screen with wireless connectivity for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Noteworthy interior amenities include a wireless charger, Suzuki Connect telematics, and rear AC vents, adding to passenger comfort. Safety remains a priority with standard 6 airbags across all variants, in addition to ABS, EBD, and other safety features.
Under the hood, the new Swift is powered by a brand-new 1.2L Z12E 3-cylinder NA Petrol engine, delivering improved fuel efficiency at 25.72 km/l while promising enhanced low-end torque and acceleration. Paired with a new suspension system and clutch setup, the Swift aims to provide superior driving comfort and performance.
