Other Updates
Recently, some leaked images of a Swift Sport surfaced on the internet, which got us thinking. As of now, there are no hints from Maruti Suzuki regarding the Swift Sport for India. And thus, we cannot say anything in concrete. Leveraging the global alliance of Toyota and Suzuki, both the carmakers are working on launching a Creta rival soon. Reports suggest that the trial production for this mid-size SUV has already begun. Once launched, the mid-size SUV segment will have yet another option, thus making it one of the most crowded segments in the Indian market.
