When it comes to the profile, it closely resembles the current-generation Swift, but the spy shots reveal a new set of blacked-out alloy wheels. One noticeable change is the rear door handle placement, which has been brought back on the rear door itself, in contrast to the existing Swift where it is positioned on the C-pillar. At the rear, the new Swift boasts redesigned LED taillamps, along with updated tailgate and rear bumper.

Expected Changes Inside

While the interior of the production-spec 2024 Maruti Swift has not been spied in detail, it is likely to get a dashboard layout similar to the one seen in the Japan-spec Swift concept. The spy shots also provide a sneak peek at the infotainment screen, which bears a resemblance to those 9-inch units found on other Maruti models.

In terms of features, the fourth-generation Maruti Swift is expected to get push button start/stop, wireless charging, cruise control and automatic climate control. The safety kit could include up to 6 airbags, electronic stability control (ESC), hill hold assist and rear parking camera.

What About Powertrain?

The India-spec 2024 Maruti Swift will most likely debut the updated version of the 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine showcased at the Japan mobility show which is expected to offer a bit more torque. The current Swift’s 1.2-litre, 4-cylinder petrol unit (90PS/113Nm) gets a choice between a 5-speed manual transmission and a 5-speed AMT. 

Expected Launch & Rivals

In India, the fourth-generation Maruti Swift is expected to go on sale with a starting price of Rs 6 lakh (ex-showroom). It will continue to rival the Hyundai Grand i10 Nios while being a sporty alternative to the likes of the Maruti Wagon R and Maruti Ignis.
