It is a well-equipped and a stylish variant of the new Swift, and probably the best choice available

The 2024 Maruti Swift Zxi variant packs in a lot of premium features over the previous Swift Vxi (O) trim. It gets many comfort and convenience features, while being a more stylish offering as well. Do these feature additions make it the ideal value-for-money option of the 2024 Swift without stretching to the top variant? Let’s find out:

Variant	1.2-litre petrol-MT	1.2-litre petrol-AMT
Zxi	Rs 8.30 lakh	Rs 8.80 lakh
Zxi+	Rs 9 lakh	Rs 9.50 lakh
Difference	Rs 70,000	Rs 70,000

Why Consider The Swift Zxi?

For a premium of Rs 73,000 over the Vxi (O), Maruti has provided the Swift Zxi with premium design elements such as auto-LED projector headlights, LED DRLs, and 15-inch alloy wheels. Also, you get a well-rounded equipment set on offer that includes wireless phone charging, auto AC with rear vents, and even a rear wiper with washer.

Here’s what all you get in terms of features:

	Exterior	Interior	Comfort and Convenience	Infotaiment	Safety
Highlight features	Auto-LED Projector headlights LED DRLs 15-inch alloy wheels	Adjustable rear seat headrests 60:40 split-folding rear seats	Auto AC with rear vents Wireless phone charging Height adjustable driver seat Rear Type-A and Type-C USB ports	7-inch touchscreen unit Connected car tech	Rear wiper and washer Six airbags Rear defogger

Why Skip The Swift Zxi?

Although the Swift Zxi gets many creature comforts you could expect in your hatchback at this price, it doesn’t offer the full premium experience that Maruti is promising with the new Swift. The headlining features such as a bigger touchscreen, cruise control, and a reversing camera are limited to the top-spec Zxi+ trim. Also, the Zxi+ becomes your only option if you want the Swift in a dual-tone paint shade.

Variant	Verdict
Lxi	Covers just the basics with a strong focus on safety. Skip to Vxi for more comfort features and the option of an automatic gearbox.
Vxi	The true entry-level variant of the new Swift. Also, the only choice if you want the AMT option.
Vxi (O)	Consider only if you want connected car tech and a couple of extra features over the Vxi. Else, skip to the Zxi for a more stylish car and better features.
Zxi	Our recommended variant as it gets a lot more tech at a justifiable premium. Skip only if you want the full premium experience of the new Swift.
Zxi+	Pick the fully loaded Zxi+ variant if you want the full premium experience of the new-gen Swift and a dual-tone paint option.
