The new Maruti Suzuki Swift, now in its fourth generation in India, starts at Rs 6.49 lakh (ex-showroom). Bookings began on May 1, 2024, and by its launch on May 9, 2024, it had already received 10,000 bookings. Worldwide, 65 lakh people have chosen the Swift, with over 30 lakh buyers from India alone.
The new Maruti Suzuki Swift has familiar style but with noticeable inside and out, along with a new powertrain. It’s longer now but the wheelbase and the width remain the same. The headlamps have a distinct L-shaped LED design, and the front grille and bumper are new. On the side, there’s a noticeable crease and a floating-roof effect with blacked-out pillars. The rear features new C-shaped LED lights, but the overall shape remains mostly unchanged.
