Maruti Swift (2016) Updates

Tuesday, 01 October 2024 10:23 PM Maruti is offering discounts of up to Rs 59,000 on the Swift this October, along with a limited-run Blitz Edition that comes with accessories worth Rs 39,500. I think these offers will help boost sales during the festive season.

Thursday, 30 May 2024 05:33 AM The 2024 Maruti Suzuki Swift has been launched in India with a starting price of Rs 6.49 lakh and going up to Rs 9.59 lakh (ex-showroom). The new model features a new Z-Series, 1.2-litre, three-cylinder petrol engine producing 82 hp and 112 Nm of torque. I think this new engine will be a game-changer in terms of efficiency.

Friday, 17 May 2024 12:33 AM The new Swift comes with significant design updates, including a larger grille with a honeycomb pattern, an SUV-like clamshell bonnet, and new LED tail lamps. The rear door handles have been moved from the C-pillars to the rear doors. I believe these subtle changes will appeal to both old and new buyers.

Thursday, 16 May 2024 07:53 PM Inside the new Swift, the interior takes inspiration from the Baleno and Fronx, featuring a new dashboard layout with a floating infotainment system, rectangular AC vents, and a dual-tone finish. It also includes a 9.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. I think the modern look will be a hit with tech-savvy buyers.

Thursday, 16 May 2024 02:59 PM Safety features in the new Swift include six airbags, ESP, hill hold control, and a three-point seatbelt standard across all variants. The car also features a rear parking camera with sensors and ISOFIX child seat anchorages. I believe these safety features will significantly enhance the cars appeal.

Thursday, 16 May 2024 02:44 PM The new Swift is built on Marutis HEARTECT platform, featuring 45% high tensile steel and 20% ultra-high strength steel. The car has a kerb weight of 920 kg and comes with a standard warranty of 2 years or 40,000 km. I believe the build quality is acceptable, though not as solid as some competitors.

Thursday, 09 May 2024 04:26 PM The new Swift is available in five variants: LXi, VXi, VXi (O), ZXi, and ZXi+. A new limited-run Blitz Edition has also been launched, available with the base-spec Lxi, Vxi, and Vxi (O) variants. I think the variety of options will cater to a wide range of buyers.

Thursday, 09 May 2024 08:11 AM The dimensions of the new Swift have slightly changed, with it being 15mm longer and 10mm shorter in height compared to the old model. The wheelbase and width remain the same, but the boot space is slightly reduced to 265 litres. I think the slight reduction in boot space wont be a major issue for most buyers.

Thursday, 09 May 2024 09:46 AM Maruti Suzuki has announced that the CNG variants of the new Swift will be launched in the coming months. The current petrol variants offer claimed fuel efficiencies of 24.8 kmpl for manual and 25.75 kmpl for AMT. I believe the CNG option will be a welcome addition for those looking for better fuel efficiency.

Thursday, 09 May 2024 03:59 PM The new Swift features connected car technology with over 40 connected car features, including safety and security, location and trips, and vehicle information. It also includes an onboard voice assistant and over-the-air updates. I think this tech will make the driving experience more convenient and connected.
