The much-anticipated 2024 Maruti Suzuki Swift is gearing up for a grand entrance in India. The launch is set for May 9th, 2024. Maruti Suzuki will introduce the Swift with a fresh wave of technology, safety, and design enhancements.
The new Swift features a refreshed design, including a redesigned front bumper and a new grille. Updated headlamps and LED daytime running lights (DRLs) contribute to a more modern and sleek appearance. The Suzuki logo is now positioned prominently at the top of the bonnet. On the sides, it gets newly-designed dual-tone alloy wheels. Notable updates also include blacked-out ORVMs, roof, and pillars.
Moving to the rear, there’s a redesigned tailgate and a new bumper with a skid plates underneath. Additionally, it features an integrated rear spoiler with a stop lamp, LED tail lights with distinctive C-shaped DRLs. However, it is likely that the India-spec Swift won’t be exactly the same as the one sold overseas and might feature a slightly different bumper and some other tweaks here and there.
The cabin is expected to receive a significant upgrade in terms of technology and comfort. The new Swift might borrow inspiration from Maruti Suzuki’s Baleno and Fronx models, featuring a larger touchscreen infotainment system. In terms of safety, the global Swift gets six airbags, a tyre pressure monitor, and ABS with EBD and brake assist. It also has electronic stability control and hill hold control for better handling on slopes. Plus, it comes with advanced features like lane keeping assist, blind spot monitor, adaptive cruise control, and warning systems for lane departure. However, the ADAS suite is something that the Indian customers might not get.
Under the hood, the 2024 Swift will be equipped with a new 1.2-litre Z Series petrol engine, capable of delivering 83 bhp and 108 Nm of torque. This engine will be available with both manual and automatic transmission options, including a CNG variant.
