8 Things The India-spec 2024 Maruti Suzuki Swift Misses Out Compared To The UK-spec Model

Maruti Suzuki has launched the new-gen 2024 Swift at Rs 6.49 lakh (ex-showroom). The new Swift has received upgrades both inside and outside, making it more premium and attractive than the outgoing model. Even though it gets many new features and a new engine, it does miss out on a couple of things which are available on the Swift which is sold in the UK. Let’s take a look at that these features are:

ADAS

Along with improving fuel economy, the mild-hybrid system also aids in torque assist. However, both the models produce the same power and torque figures, 82 PS and 112 Nm, respectively.

More Colours Offered

The 2024 Swift sold in India is available in 6 colour options. It misses out on black and yellow colour options which are available on the model in the UK.

CVT gearbox With Paddle Shifters

The UK-spec model of the 2024 Maruti Swift features a CVT gearbox which can also be manually controlled with the help of
