The wait is finally over! The much-anticipated fourth-generation Maruti Suzuki Swift is set to hit the Indian market in May 2024. This popular hatchback received a global refresh last year, boasting a revamped design, feature-rich cabin, and an improved powertrain. Here’s a comprehensive look at everything you need to know about the upcoming Maruti Suzuki Swift 2024:
Sportier Design with a Modern Touch
While retaining the familiar Swift silhouette, the 2024 model gets a stylish makeover. The exterior features a redesigned grille, sleek bumpers, new 15-inch alloy wheels, updated taillights, and a sportier rear spoiler. In a significant change, the rear door handles are now positioned traditionally on the doors, unlike the C-pillar placement in the outgoing version.
Upgraded Cabin for a Delightful Driving Experience
The new Swift welcomes you with a lighter and more contemporary cabin theme. The dashboard design takes inspiration from Maruti’s recent offerings like Baleno and Fronx. Expect a focus on comfort and convenience with features like:
- Large Touchscreen Infotainment System: Enjoy a 9-inch touchscreen system, likely compatible with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay for seamless smartphone integration.
- Heads-Up Display (Expected): Keep your eyes on the road with vital information displayed conveniently.
- Automatic Climate Control: Maintain a comfortable cabin temperature for all passengers.
- Wireless Phone Charging (Expected): Ditch the cables and conveniently charge your phone on the go.
- Cruise Control: Effortless highway cruising for a relaxed driving experience.
Safety Features You Can Trust
Maruti prioritizes safety in the new Swift. The car is expected to be equipped with:
- 6 Airbags: Enhanced protection for occupants in case of a collision.
- ABS with EBD: Ensures optimal braking performance and prevents skidding.
- Electronic Stability Control (ESC): Maintains vehicle stability during sharp turns and sudden maneuvers.
- Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS): Alerts you to underinflated tires for improved safety and fuel efficiency.
- Parking Sensors: Makes parking in tight spots a breeze.
- ISOFIX Child Seat Anchors: Securely fasten child seats for your little ones’ safety.
- 360-Degree Camera (Possible): Get a bird’s-eye view for enhanced parking ease and maneuverability (availability to be confirmed).
- Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (Possible): Blindspot monitoring could potentially be included for additional safety (availability to be confirmed).
New Engine Option with Improved Efficiency
The 2024 Swift gets a new 1.2-litre, 3-cylinder petrol engine churning out 82 PS and up to 112 Nm. This engine pairs with either a 5-speed manual transmission or a CVT (availability of CVT in India to be confirmed). While the international market might see a mild-hybrid version and an all-wheel-drive option, these are not expected in India.
Expected Price and Rivals
The 2024 Maruti Suzuki Swift is estimated to start at Rs 6 lakh (ex-showroom). It will compete with the popular Hyundai Grand i10 Nios and serve as a compelling alternative to the Renault Triber. Following the Swift’s launch, Maruti is also expected to introduce the updated Maruti Dzire, the sub-4m sedan based on the Swift platform.
