In a recent instance, Maruti has hiked the prices of the Swift hatchback by up to Rs 39,000. Now that’s not the sole reason for not buying this car. We already know that Maruti is all set to launch the new gen Swift in India. Also, you will not have to wait for too long as the reports say that the new Swift will be launching next month in May 2024. So it really makes no sense to buy the current model of Swift. The new model will bring a lot of changes, especially on the inside and in the engine departments!

We have already shared detailed information about the design of the new Swift, so we are keeping that short today. For starters, Suzuki has maintained the overall silhouette of the old Swift which has been loved for decades. However, it gets new blacked out headlamps with new front grille and bumpers. The side profile is the same with new alloy wheels and repositioned door handles. This has helped Suzuki to add a quarter glass panel, making the cabin feel less claustrophobic. At the rear, the new Swift gets clear lens tail lamps and new rear bumpers.
The new Swift gets an all new dashboard which is similar to other Maruti cars like Baleno and Fronx. It is a multi layered dashboard with light colours all over the dashboard and cabin. However, we may see all black interiors on the inside. It also gets a new 9.0-inch touchscreen system along with other features like blind spot monitoring system, ARKAMYS surround sound system, connected car technology, and more. Globally, the Swift also gets an electronic parking brake and ADAS but Suzuki will likely not get those features on the Indian variant.

Powering the new Swift is an all new Z-series engine from Suzuki. This engine is down from 4-cylinder on 3-cylinders but Suzuki assures to offer a refined unit. That said, the new Swift comes with a 1.3-litre petrol engine which produces 80bhp and 108Nm of peak torque. Transmission duties will be handled by the manual and AMT gearboxes.
