Maruti Suzuki Swift was spotted testing in Europe a couple times and we know it’s going to come with Hybrid powertrain, and few design tweaks over the exterior and interiors. We’ll down everything about the upcoming next-gen hatchback so far, and what we expect it to feature!
Maruti Suzuki is going to launch the next-gen Swift in India sometime in 2024 and it’s going to introduce some new features. Maruti Suzuki was spotted testing the Swift in Europe with an expected reveal coming in October 2023. The test mule was spotted with a bolder design and could get new LED headlamps and bumpers. The side profile was spotted with a new alloy wheel design and door-mounted handles instead of the C-pillar mounted handles in the outgoing version. Moving to the rear, the LED tail lamp design could be slightly tweaked, and maybe sport sport-connected tail lamp design.
We know for certain that the upcoming Swift is going to come with a Strong Hybrid Setup. It’ll come with a 1.2 L Petrol engine paired with the Toyota’s Strong Hybrid setup, and this 1.2 L Petrol engine won’t be 4 Cylinder but a 3 Cylinder with an eCVT Gearbox and can expect mileage somewhere between 35 – 40 KMPL. Other than that, it’ll continue to provide the option of Petrol-only, and CNG fuel options.
In Features, expect Maruti Suzuki to load Swift with new features like the 9-inch SmartPlay Pro+ infotainment system with Wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto, and wireless charging pad. In Safety, we can expect Maruti to add 360 Surround View Camera, 6 airbags, and possibly Heads-up Display (HUD). Other than that, we don’t expect Maruti to add anything else as the big highlight will be the Strong Hybrid, and both Maruti and Toyota are trying to heavily localize the hybrid thing to bring it to their other affordable cars.
