The 2024 Maruti Swift, the latest version of the popular hatchback, is gearing up for its release in India very soon. Excitement is building as we've already spotted several test models, and the car has already made its debut in various international markets, with Germany being the most recent one. This new version will come with more than just a fresh look it is set to bring in a host of new features that will distinguish it from the previous model. While you can find a detailed comparison between the old and new models elsewhere this article will focus on highlighting all the exciting new features that the 2024 Maruti Swift will offer.
Let's dive in:
Enhanced Infotainment System
The 2024 Maruti Swift will come equipped with a larger 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system, an upgrade from the current 7-inch display. This new system, likely borrowed from the Baleno and Fronx models promises sharper graphics and improved responsiveness. Moreover, it will support wireless connectivity for both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
360-Degree Camera
To elevate the premium feel of the Swift, Maruti has introduced a 360-degree camera system in its international models. This feature is expected to be available in the India-spec version as well, though it may be limited to higher trim levels of the Swift.
Connected Car Technology
Keeping up with the trend, the new-gen Swift will come equipped with connected car features. Through Suzuki's CONNECT app, drivers will have access to functionalities such as live tracking, trip summaries, and safety notifications, all conveniently accessible through their smartphones.
Enhanced Safety Features
Unlike its predecessor, which was somewhat lacking in safety features, the new-gen Swift will prioritize safety. It will come standard with six airbags across all variants along with other electronic safety aids like ABS with EBD and electronic stability control.
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)
The new Swift will offer a range of ADAS features, including autonomous braking assist and automatic high beam assist, in international markets. While these features may not be standard in all variants due to pricing considerations, test models have been spotted with radar modules and blind-spot monitoring, indicating the possibility of ADAS being available in higher trim levels.
In addition to these exciting new features, there are numerous other updates to look forward to in the 2024 Maruti Swift. With these enhancements, the prices of the Maruti Swift are expected to increase. Currently, prices range between Rs 5.99 lakh and Rs 9.03 lakh (ex-showroom). Rivals like the Hyundai Grand i10 Nios, Renault Triber, and Tata Punch will give the new Swift fierce competition.
