This powerhouse, paired with a choice of either a five-speed manual or a five-speed AMT gearbox.

Interestingly, the automaker claims an impressive mileage of 25.72 kmpl. The dimensions of the new Swift have also received a subtle yet effective makeover, with a 15mm increase in length, 40mm narrower profile, and a 30mm taller stance compared to its predecessor.
