Powertrain On Offer

Suzuki is offering the UK-spec Swift with the new 1.2-litre 3-cylinder Z series petrol engine, as seen on the Japan-spec hatchback. While its power output is the same as the Japan-spec model, it makes a little more torque. Customers in both these markets can have the new hatchback with a 12V mild-hybrid system and both manual and automatic options. Just like the Japan-spec model, Suzuki will continue to offer the Swift with a choice of all-wheel drive (AWD) in the UK as well.

When the new Swift comes to India, we expect it to retain the same set of transmission options and continue with the 2WD setup.

Feature Highlights

The updated cabin and feature set for the new UK-spec Swift is also similar to that of the Japanese hatchback. It will be provided with a 9-inch touchscreen unit, 16-inch alloy wheels, auto AC, LED headlights, electrically adjustable ORVMs, and connected car tech. Its safety net includes multiple advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) such as lane departure warning and adaptive cruise control along with a reversing camera and rear parking sensors.

Many of these features are expected to make their way to the India-spec new-gen Maruti Swift as well with the exception of the full ADAS suite or heated seats. 

Expected India Launch And Price

The 2024 Maruti Suzuki Swift is expected to be launched in India in April, with prices likely to start from Rs 6 lakh (ex-showroom). It will renew its rivalry with the Hyundai Grand i10 Nios while also being an alternative to the sub-4m crossover MPV, the Renault Triber.
