New Maruti Swift: price starts higher than Nios, Tiago
Considering that the Tata Tiago and Hyundai Grand i10 Nios' prices start at Rs 5.65 lakh and Rs 5.92 lakh, respectively, the new Swift is definitely priced on the higher side. In addition, the range-topping petrol-automatic versions of Tata and Hyundai’s small hatchbacks cost Rs 7.95 lakh and Rs 8.56 lakh, each, which is again lower than the range-topping Swift variant.

While the new Swift’s design language is the same as the outgoing model’s, there are some obvious changes: new front bumper, a redesigned radiator grille, reshaped headlights and fog lights, conventionally placed rear door handles, new alloy wheel designs and new tail-lamps with a C-shape pattern. In addition, although the new Swift’s wheelbase is the same at 2,450mm, the new hatchback is 15mm longer, 40mm narrower and 30mm taller.
There are nine exterior colour options on offer, including three dual-tone paints, two new blue and red colours, and two accessory packages: Racing Roadstar and Thrill Chaser. The former adds sporty cosmetic changes inside and out like carbon patterns, while the latter adds what Maruti calls 'energetic exterior and glamorous interior' styling changes.
