2024 Maruti Swift India Launch Nears – New Spy Shots Of Interiors

With its timeless design and affordable pricing, Maruti Swift continues to be a popular choice in the entry-level segment. While an increasing number of buyers are shifting to SUVs, it’s cars like Swift that have been instrumental in preserving the hatchback segment. Users can expect a better overall experience with the 4th-gen Swift.

While there are no changes to Swift’s elegant design, the hatch does get some visual enhancements. For example, the front fascia has been updated with refreshed lighting elements, a larger grille and a sportier lower bumper. Side profile has been enhanced with the introduction of a new set of sportier alloy wheels.

These are likely to be 15-inch units. Another key change is regular rear door handles in place of the C-pillar mounted door handles. Updates at the rear include new tail lights, refreshed bumper and a more prominent roof spoiler. One can also notice a change in the positioning of the reflectors.

Smartphone pairing will be more convenient now, as the touchscreen supports wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Other parts such as steering wheel and instrument cluster are the same as the 3rd-gen model. International-spec 4th-gen model has more advanced equipment such as ADAS. However, these are unlikely to be offered in India.

Powering 4th-gen Swift will be a new Z Series, 1.2-litre, 3-cylinder engine. It comes with a 12V mild-hybrid setup. It is possible that the new 2024 Swift could be more fuel efficient. The existing 3rd-gen Swift utilizes
