The highly anticipated fourth-generation Maruti Swift is poised for launch in India, with bookings already underway. Excitement brews as the model begins to grace Maruti’s Arena dealerships nationwide. A sneak peek reveals subtle yet distinct design modifications tailored for the Indian market.
Design Insights
Comparing images, the Indian iteration shares striking similarities with its international counterpart. However, notable enhancements include front bumper fog lamps and updated alloy wheels. While the showcased model flaunts a sleek monotone white finish, anticipation mounts for potential dual-tone color options.
Interior Highlights
Interior aesthetics mirror global standards, boasting a captivating ‘floating’ 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system, asymmetrical analogue dials, and a digital AC panel for climate control. Despite its refinement, the India-bound Swift may lack Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) technology.
Trim Options
Expected to offer variants ranging from the entry-level LXI to the top-tier ZXI, the showcased model likely represents the premium ZXI trim. Ensuring safety, all variants promise six airbags and seat belt reminders for all occupants. Additional features such as a rear camera, defogger, and wash/wipe enhance convenience, particularly in higher-spec trims.
Powertrain Innovations
The upcoming Swift introduces the new Z12E engine, a 1.2-liter three-cylinder naturally aspirated powerhouse generating 84hp and 112Nm of torque. While marginally reduced in power compared to its predecessor, it compensates with remarkable fuel efficiency, boasting an ARAI-rated mileage of 25.72kpl. Both manual and AMT transmission options are anticipated, with a CNG variant expected to expand the lineup in the future.
With anticipation reaching a fever pitch, the new Maruti Swift promises a blend of sophistication, efficiency, and performance tailored to captivate Indian consumers.
