The fourth-generation Maruti Swift is about to be launched on May 9 with bookings open. Ahead of its price announcement, its claimed fuel efficiency has now leaked online among other details. The new Swift will reportedly be offered in five broad variants: LXi, VXi, VXi (O), ZXi, and ZXi+.

Leaked Engine, Gearbox And Mileage Details

As per the online report, the new Swift is confirmed to get the new 1.2-litre 3-cylinder Z series petrol engine to replace the outgoing model’s 1.2-litre 4-cylinder K-series petrol unit. According to the leaked details, this engine has a claimed mileage of 25.72 kmpl, but the source does not specify if this is for the manual or automatic transmission variant. Here’s how the specifications compare:

Specification	2024 Maruti Swift	Outgoing Maruti Swift
Engine	1.2-litre, 3-cylinder petrol	1.2-litre, 4-cylinder petrol

The outgoing Swift is also available with a CNG powertrain, with a reduced output of 77.5 PS/98.5 Nm, mated to the manual gearbox only. That said, the new Swift won’t be offered with the CNG powertrain, at least at the time of launch.

Features And Safety

Maruti will offer the new Swift with a bigger 9-inch touchscreen unit, wireless phone charger, a heads-up display, and auto AC. In terms of safety, it will likely come with six airbags (as standard), electronic stability programme (ESP), a 360-degree camera, and blind spot detection (as seen on one of its test mules).
