The dual-tone option is offered with the Zxi+ variant for a premium of Rs 14,000. Maruti is offering three dual-tone colours for the facelifted Swift: red with black roof, white with black roof, and blue with white roof. Overall, the facelifted Swift costs up to Rs 25,000 more than the pre-facelift model. 

Maruti now offers the petrol engine from the Baleno and the facelifted Dzire in the Swift. It produces 90PS (7PS more than before) while torque output is unchanged, at 113Nm. It gets the same 5-speed manual and AMT transmission options. The petrol-MT has a claimed mileage of 23.20kmpl and the AMT option of 23.76kmpl, an improvement over the previous claimed mileage of 21.21kmpl thanks to the addition of auto idle start-stop functionality.

The Swift gets a new mesh grille design with no notable changes to the interior. Its dashboard style is unchanged with the 7.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system in the centre. The feature list gets additions such as idle stop start, cruise control, and a 4.2-inch colour multi-information display as well as auto fold functionality for outside rearview mirrors. For the AMT variant, the Swift now gets hill hold assist (it does not allow the vehicle to roll-back on inclined slopes in stop-start traffic condition) and electronic stability control as standard. 

The Swift continues to rival the likes of the Hyundai Grand i10 Nios, Ford Figo, Maruti Ignis as well as the Renault Triber.
