When Maruti Suzuki launched the first-generation Swift in 2005, no one except the manufacturer themselves had the idea that the car would go on production and sale for more than 15 years. However, the company took the risk and it paid off in the long run for the company as well as for its customers. Till 2017, before the 3rd Generation swift was launched Maruti Suzuki had already sold 12,02,119 units—at a little under 2 lakh units per year. In November 2020, Maruti sold 18,498 units of Swift in India. Find out more about best selling Maruti car for 2020.

Maruti Swift has been a performance vehicle since its inception in India. It has been one of the quickest hatchbacks in India and presents a great acceleration experience. This has been the key selling point for Swift in India. The 2020 Maruti Swift is based on Maruti’s HEARTECT platform which makes the premium hatchback lighter than previous Swift models. Under the hood, Maruti Swift features a 1.2-litre petrol engine which generates 83bhp of maximum power and 115Nm of torque. Diesel variant was also first available which was discontinued after BS6. Both manual and automatic transmission is present with the car. Fuel efficiency of 20+ km/l is also a pretty strong point with the BS6 engine.

Better Sales

According to data published by JATO dynamics India, Maruti Suzuki sold 15,798 units of the Swift every month on an average between the period June 2020 and November 2020. Out of 10 best-selling models each month over the last six months, seven of them have consistently been a Maruti Suzuki car. With about 55% of the total market share in the passenger vehicle segment, there is no doubt why Maruti Suzuki is the largest carmaker in the country. Hyundai follows up in second place with at least two models in the 10 best-selling list each month consistently with their sister brand, Kia, joining the fray recently with the Seltos and even the Sonet.
