Sporty design: Eye-catching style
The new Swift’s design is the first thing that catches the eye. Maruti has given it a sporty and dynamic look, which makes it stand out on the road. The front features a glossy black grille, which is complemented by boomerang-shaped DRLs (Daytime Running Lights). The smoked projector headlamps (halogen in the base variant and LED in the higher variants) give the car an aggressive look. The side profile features a wrap-around character line and precision-cut
dual-tone alloy wheels (in the higher variants), adding to its sporty appeal. At the rear, C-shaped taillamps and LED combination lamps give the car a modern touch. Overall, the car measures 3860 mm in length, 1735 mm in width, and 1520 mm in height, making it compact yet spacious.

In terms of the interior, it features a driver-oriented cockpit. The ergonomic seats are comfortable, and the cabin space is ample for a family. The higher variants come with automatic climate control, wireless charging, and a 22.86 cm SmartPlay Pro+ touchscreen infotainment system that supports wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The “Hey Suzuki” voice assistant allows you to control the car with voice commands. Rear AC vents and 60:40 split rear seats (in select variants) add to its practicality. The boot space is 265 liters,
which is sufficient for daily use. Color options include Sizzling Red, Bluish Black, Luster Blue, Novel Orange, Magma Grey, Splendid Silver, and Pearl Arctic White. Dual-tone options like Sizzling Red with a Bluish Black roof make it even more attractive. This design not only appeals to young buyers but also makes it easy to maneuver in city traffic.
Powerful performance and engine: Double the fun on the road.
The new Swift features an all-new 1.2L Z-series petrol engine, a 1197cc 3-cylinder unit. It delivers a maximum power of 81.58 PS at 5700 rpm and 111.7 Nm of torque at 4300 rpm. The S-CNG variant produces 69.75 PS of power and 101.8 Nm of torque. The Idle Start-Stop (ISS) feature saves fuel in the petrol variant. Transmission options include a 5-speed manual (MT)
and a 5-speed automated manual transmission (AMT). The suspension consists of MacPherson struts at the front and a torsion beam at the rear, ensuring a smooth ride. Brakes are ventilated discs at the front and drums at the rear. The tires are 165/80 R14 or 185/65 R15, providing good grip.
In terms of performance, this car is excellent on both city streets and highways. The minimum turning radius is 4.8 meters, which makes U-turns easy. The ground clearance is 163 mm, which is perfect for Indian roads. The fuel tank has a capacity of 37 liters, which is sufficient for long drives. The total weight is 920-990 kg, making it lightweight and agile. It is also environmentally friendly, complying with BS VI emission standards. If you enjoy sporty driving, this car will not disappoint you.
Excellent mileage: Less burden on your pocket, more miles.
The biggest USP of the new Swift is its mileage. The petrol MT variant delivers 24.80 km/liter, the petrol AMT 25.75 km/liter, and the CNG MT 32.85 km/kg. According to users, a mileage of over 30 km per liter makes it class-leading, especially the CNG variant, where fuel costs are significantly reduced. The combination of the Z-series engine and S-CNG technology makes it economical without compromising on performance. In city traffic, where other cars consume
more fuel, the Swift’s ISS (Idle Start-Stop) feature automatically shuts off the engine, saving fuel. If you commute daily, this car can potentially halve your fuel bill. The CNG option is also cleaner from an environmental perspective. Overall, in terms of mileage, this car is ahead of its competitors like the Hyundai i20 or Tata Punch.
