The 2023 Suzuki Swift Is Longer Than The India-spec Maruti Swift

The 4th-generation Swift is expected to enter the Indian market sometime next year

• While its length is more than that of the current version, it falls back in terms of width and height.

• The India-spec version could come with the new 3-cylinder 1.2-litre petrol engine.

• New features include a 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system and blind spot monitoring.

• Expected to be priced from Rs 6 lakh (ex-showroom).

The fourth-generation Suzuki Swift was unveiled recently in Japan and the details of its engine options, drivetrain and features were revealed. Recently, Suzuki has also revealed the dimensions of its updated hatchback, and here is how its size differs from the current India-spec Maruti Swift.

Dimensions

Compared to the India-spec version, the 2024 Suzuki Swift is slightly longer but has the same wheelbase. However, it is much narrower and shorter than the Maruti Swift, which could result in less space inside the cabin for passengers. That said, Maruti could tweak its suspension and ride height for a slightly taller appeal when it launches the updated Swift in India.

Powertrain

Maruti could offer the latest version of Swift in India with the all-new 3-cylinder 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine showcased at the Japan Mobility Show. This engine is expected to offer more torque than the current Maruti Swift’s 4-cylinder 1.2-litre petrol engine (90 PS/ 113 Nm).

While the new-gen Swift, in the international market, will offer a CVT automatic, the India-spec version will most likely continue with the 5-speed manual and 5-speed AMT options. Globally, it also comes with the choice of all-wheel-drive but it will stay limited to front-wheel-drive for India.

Features & Safety

Not just the design and powertrain, the features list has also been updated. The new-gen Swift comes with a new cabin layout sporting a bigger 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system, semi-digital driver’s display, cruise control, automatic climate control, multiple airbags, electronic stability control (ESC) and ADAS features including blind spot detection.

Launch, Price & Rivals

The new-generation Maruti Swift could be launched in India by early next year at an expected starting price of Rs 6 lakh (ex-showroom). It will continue to rival the Hyundai Grand i10 Nios and will be an alternative to similarly priced models like the Renault Triber, Maruti Wagon R and Maruti Ignis.
