Maruti Suzuki has recently launched the highly anticipated new Swift in India, with a starting price of Rs 6.49 lakh (ex-showroom). Known for its excellent value, the Swift has consistently been a top-seller in the hatchback segment.
While an official release date hasn't been announced, a CNG version of the Swift is anticipated soon. Like other models in its category, the new Maruti Suzuki Swift CNG is expected to feature a factory-installed kit in the trunk. It will likely be available only with a manual transmission and have slightly lower power and torque compared to the petrol version.

The Swift CNG is expected to be priced around Rs 90,000 higher than the petrol model. The new Swift offers a fuel efficiency of 24.80 km/l with the manual transmission and 25.75 km/l with the automatic. In its CNG variant, it is projected to deliver a mileage of over 32 km/kg. Other than the powertrain, the design and features are expected to remain unchanged.
Entering its fourth generation, the Swift boasts several enhancements, including a new engine. Retaining its iconic design, the hatchback now features a refreshed bumper, new alloy wheels, updated headlamps, modern fog lamps, and signature C-shaped tail lamps. It is offered in five key variants: LXi, VXi, VXi (O), and ZXi+, each providing multiple features to meet a variety of customer needs.

The revamped Maruti Suzuki Swift now features a new 1.2-litre, three-cylinder Z12E engine, delivering 81bhp and 112Nm of torque. Though it generates 8bhp and 1Nm less than the previous K-Series engine, it excels with an ARAI-rated fuel efficiency of 25.72 km/l, which is about 3 km/l better than the previous model.
Measuring at 3,860mm in length, 1,735mm in width, and 1,495mm in height, with a wheelbase spanning 2,450mm, the new Swift retains its familiar exterior dimensions, albeit with subtle refinements. Among these enhancements is the introduction of a sleek all-black octagonal grille featuring honeycomb mesh inserts and gloss-black surrounds. Accompanying this is a refreshed clamshell bonnet and modest adjustments to the front and rear bumper.
