It’s anticipated that the fourth-generation Maruti Suzuki Swift will soon hit the Indian market. It has already been introduced in its native nation, Japan, and will soon be available for purchase in the UK in April. Suzuki has now disclosed every aspect of the UK-spec Swift, including its dimensions, engine specifications, available versions, and some of its most important features. Let’s investigate them:
Specifications Of The New Swift
Dimensions | UK-spec Swift | Current India-spec Swift | Difference |
Length | 3860 mm | 3845 mm | +15 mm |
Width | 1735 mm | 1735 mm | No difference |
Height | 1495 mm (2WD)/ 1520 mm (AWD) | 1530 mm | -35 mm/ -10 mm |
Wheelbase | 2450 mm | 2450 mm | No difference |
The current India-spec variant on sale is 15 mm shorter than the UK-spec model. Nevertheless, its wheelbase and width are the same as those of the Swift built for India. The model sold in our nation is up to 35 mm longer than the UK-spec model.
Available Powertrain
The new 1.2-liter 3-cylinder Z series petrol engine, which is seen on the Japan-spec hatchback, is available for the Suzuki Swift in the UK. It produces a bit more torque but the same amount of power as the Japan-spec variant. Customers in these two markets can choose between a manual and automatic 12V mild hybrid system for the new hatchback. Suzuki will continue to provide the UK-spec Swift with an all-wheel drive (AWD) option, just like the Japan-spec vehicle. We anticipate that the new Swift will stay with the 2WD layout and have the same selection of gearbox options when it arrives in India.
Feature Highlights
The new UK-spec Swift shares many features with the Japanese hatchback, including a revised cabin. A 9-inch touchscreen, 16-inch alloy wheels, auto air conditioning, LED headlights, electrically movable ORVMs, and linked automotive technology will all be included. Its safety net consists of several advanced driving assistance systems (ADAS), including rear parking sensors, a reversing camera, and adaptive cruise control.
Except for the complete ADAS suite and heated seats, many of these features are anticipated to also be available on the new Maruti Swift built for the Indian market.
Pricing and Anticipated India Launch
The 2024 Maruti Suzuki Swift is anticipated to go on sale in India in April, with a starting price of approximately Rs 6 lakh (ex-showroom). It is going to rekindle the rivalry between the Hyundai Grand i10 Nios and the Renault Triber, a sub-4 million crossover MPV.
