MARUTI SUZUKI SWIFT
ONE OF THE most anticipated launches of the year is the fourth-generation Maruti Swift, which will get a significant upgrade with a refreshed design inside and out. Design updates include a honeycomb pattern for the rounded grille, all-LED lighting and new alloy wheels. Inside, it will sport the same steering wheel, climate control panel and instrument cluster as the Baleno and Grand Vitara. It will reportedly feature a new 1.2-litre, three-cylinder petrol engine (82 PS/108 Nm), paired with a choice of a five-speed manual transmission and an automatic option. Feature additions could include a bigger nine-inch touchscreen, up to six airbags, and blind spot detection. Cruise control, auto AC and a reversing camera will continue to be on offer.
Is it worth waiting for? Yes. It will have plenty to offer in terms of design, features and powertrains. It’s also expected to have better mileage, compared to the current India-spec model.
