More powerful Swift

The biggest change in the new Swift facelift is its engine. It now powered by the 1.2-litre DualJet petrol K12N engine that generates a maximum power of 89 PS of maximum power and 113 Nm of peak torque. It is an increase of about 7 PS from the outgoing model. However, the torque output remains the same. The new Swift will get a 5-speed manual or a 5-speed AMT automatic based on the variant. The engine is equipped with an Idle start-stop technology that will definitely increase the overall fuel efficiency of the vehicle.

On the outside, it gets a revised front-end with a new honeycomb mesh grille and chrome slat dissecting through it. The headlamps are also tweaked but look largely similar to the outgoing version. Maruti Suzuki has also tweaked the bumper but the shape of the fog lamps remain the same.

 

From the side, the Swift remains identical to the outgoing version. It gets a dual-tone colour theme and also there are new alloy wheels that look similar to the international spec model. The rear end of the vehicle remains identical except for the slightly tweaked bumper.

The cabin gets new chrome surrounds on the central console, steering controls and instrument panel and it looks quite good against the all-black cabin. The instrument cluster also gets a few feature additions and the MID is now a coloured screen like the Baleno. Other features like the SmartPlay infotainment system and automatic climate control system remain similar to the previous version
