As the festive season is around the corner and Ford launching the new Figo hatchback in October in order to continue its good run in the hatchback segment, Maruti Suzuki too will be launching a special edition of their hot-selling Swift called, the Swift SP. This limited edition version will be based on the LDi/LXi variants and will incorporate additional features like 4-speaker integrated audio system with Bluetooth and USB connectivity, reverse parking sensors, central locking with keyless entry, all four power windows, 60:40 rear seat split, seat and steering covers, fog lamps, wheel covers, blacked out pillars, body colored ORVMs and body side molding.
