2024 Maruti Swift bookings open, officially teased for the first time in India
The fourth generation Maruti Swift has been teased officially for the first time in India. India’s largest carmaker is all set to launch the new generation hatchback on 9th May. Bookings have commenced, you can book the new hatchback for Rs. 11,000/- on their official website or at their dealerships across India.
The new Swift comes with a similar silhouette but a completely new styling including new front grille, redesigned LED headlamps with integrated DRLs, updated front and rear bumper along with new alloy wheels and sharper looking tail lamps.
The interior also gets many changes including new dashboard design, larger touchscreen infotainment system, new instrument cluster, etc. Features list has not been confirmed yet for the Indian market but you can expect new tech and more equipment.
While global markets have seen the introduction of a new 1.2-litre Z12E 3-cylinder petrol engine, it remains uncertain whether Maruti Suzuki will introduce this powertrain to the Indian market or stick with the 1.2-litre 4-cylinder K12C motor currently in use.
The new Swift went through the Japanese NCAP recently, it scored 177.8 out of a total 197 points, with notable strengths in preventive safety performance. Equipped with advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) in its top-spec model, including features like adaptive cruise control and autonomous emergency braking, the Swift demonstrated commendable preventive safety capabilities, securing an impressive 88.7 out of 89 points.
While the Japan-spec Swift showcased promising safety features, it’s essential to note that results from JNCAP testing may not directly apply to the India-spec model. The India-bound Swift is likely to undergo separate safety assessments, such as Bharat NCAP in the future.
