Bookings for the new hatchback are already available and unveiled photos of the vehicle have just made their way onto the internet, showcasing the India-spec Swift for the firs t time. What we can learn from this 2024 Swift that shows up at a dealership is as follows.
External Details
The new Swift that is pictured here is probably the fully equipped model because it is painted in a white color. The LED fog lamps in the bumper, the long L-shaped LED DRLs, and the new, rather oval-shaped grille are all visible. Sharper dual-tone alloy wheels and wraparound LED tail lights are two further external modifications.
A Fresh Cabin and Outfit
Maruti’s interior design for the new Swift has a blend of bright and dark grey materials. Along with these updates, it now has a larger 9-inch touchscreen, similar to the Fronx and Baleno, and an updated temperature control panel.
In addition, there is push-button start/stop, auto AC, heads-up display, cruise control, and a wireless phone charger. Six airbags (as standard), an electronic stability program (ESP), and maybe a 360-degree camera with blind spot identification (based on previously observed test mules) would likely make up its safety net.
Options for Engine and Gearbox
A brand-new 1.2-liter, 3-cylinder Z series petrol engine (82 PS and up to 112 Nm) will power the 2017 Swift. Either a 5-speed AMT or a 5-speed MT will be included (as seen in these photographs). At least not at launch, a CNG version won’t be available.
Anticipated Cost And Rivals
The starting price of the Maruti Swift in 2024 is anticipated to be Rs 6.5 lakh (ex-showroom). It will compete with the Hyundai Grand i10 Nios and be available as a sub-4 million crossover MPV option for the Renault Triber.
News & Top StoriesDealerships Get to See the Mahindra XUV 3XO MX3 Variant
Although official reservations for the Mahindra XUV 3XO have not yet begun, we have just recently received pricing information. However, dealerships are now receiving the vehicle in some different configurations. There are five main variations of the XUV 3XO available: MX1, MX2, MX3, AX5, and AX7. This post will examine the features and appearance of the XUV 3XO’s mid-spec MX3 model in nine real-world photos.
in Front
The SUV‘s mid-spec MX3 model has the identical bumper and grille as its higher-spec siblings. Nevertheless, because of its halogen projector headlights, it appears to be a lower-end model. It has LED daytime running lights with turn signals, but no front fog lamps.
Side
The MX3 version of the Mahindra XUV 3XO has body-colored door handles from the side, while the ORVMs (outside rear view mirrors) and A and C-pillars are blacked out. This specific XUV 3XO model has no roof rails and 16-inch steel wheels covered in wheel covers.
Back
Although the XUV 3XO MX3 variation has LED tail lights, it lacks the linked configuration seen in the MX3 Pro variant, which is a grade higher. Other features that set it out as a lower-spec model include the lack of a rear wiper washer, rear defogger, and an expanded roof spoiler. Nonetheless, the SUV’s bumper design is still the same as previous higher-spec models.
Interior
Although the 3XO MX3’s design may suggest a cheaper model, its inside delivers a mid-range experience. The dashboard and door panels are two-tone black and white. On this version, however, the temperature control panel is derived from the XUV300 before the makeover.
Its features include an analog instrument cluster, a 4-speaker sound system, a wireless phone charger, a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wired Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto, and a single-pane sunroof. This version boasts all-wheel disc brakes, electronic stability control, six airbags, and rear parking sensors for added passenger protection.
This XUV 3XO type is a mid-spec model, and it has black cloth seat upholstery. The extra convenience of rear passengers is enhanced by the provision of rear AC vents.
Powertrain
Mahindra provides turbo-petrol and diesel engine options for the XUX 3XO’s MX3 version. The details of the requirements are listed below:
| Specifications | 1.2-litre turbo-petrol | 1.5-litre diesel |
| Power | 112 PS | 117 PS |
| Torque | 200 Nm | 300 Nm |
| Transmission | 6-speed MT / 6-speed AT | 6-speed MT / 6-speed AMT |
The more potent T-GDi (direct injection) turbo-petrol engine is not available for the MX3 version.
