The upcoming 2024 Maruti Swift is set to feature a larger 9-inch touchscreen, akin to the premium Maruti Nexa models such as the Baleno and Fronx. This enhanced display not only offers a more immersive experience but also supports wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity, a significant upgrade from the current model’s smaller 7-inch screen, which requires a wired setup.
Enhanced Safety with Six Airbags
Maruti is anticipated to equip the new Swift with up to six airbags, aligning with the safety standards seen in its newer offerings. There’s speculation that Maruti might make six airbags a standard feature to meet the forthcoming mandate. Currently, the Swift comes with dual front airbags only.
Improved Maneuverability with 360-degree Camera
The inclusion of a 360-degree camera setup, a feature possibly inherited from the new Baleno, is expected to aid in navigating the hatchback through tight parking spaces, traffic congestion, and sharp turns. However, it’s likely to be reserved for the higher-spec variants of the fourth-gen Swift.
Safety Boost with Blind Spot Detection
Blind spot detection, observed on recent test mules, is another significant safety feature poised to enhance the new Swift’s capabilities. While it’s part of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), the complete suite may not be incorporated due to cost considerations. Nonetheless, this feature will prove invaluable in India’s bustling traffic scenarios.
Enhanced Driver Information with Heads-up Display
Maruti may introduce the heads-up display from the new Baleno to the fourth-gen Swift, offering essential information like speed, clock, drive mode (for AMT variants), RPM meter, instant fuel economy, door ajar warning, and climate control data. This feature could likely be exclusive to the higher-spec variants.
Expected Launch And Price
Anticipated to debut in India in the first half of the year, the fourth-gen Maruti Swift is expected to be competitively priced, starting from approximately Rs 6 lakh (ex-showroom). It will renew its rivalry with the Hyundai Grand i10 Nios while also providing an alternative to the Renault Triber, a sub-4m crossover MPV.
These anticipated features promise to elevate the driving experience of the new Maruti Suzuki Swift, enhancing both safety and convenience. What additional features would you like to see in the new hatchback? Share your thoughts in the comments section below!
