The upcoming 2024 Maruti Suzuki Swift, recently unveiled at the Japan Mobility Show, is generating considerable anticipation for its radical design and advanced features. Expected to land on Indian shores later this year, the next-gen Swift aims to be a feature-rich offering, challenging its rivals. In this exploration, we delve into five features expected to be adopted from the Maruti Suzuki Brezza enhancing the Swift's appeal in the competitive Indian market.
9-Inch Touchscreen
The 2024 Maruti Suzuki Swift is set to upgrade its infotainment system with a larger 9-inch touchscreen, a feature borrowed from the new Brezza. This enhancement promises sharper visuals, improved responsiveness and support for wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay providing an immersive and tech-savvy driving experience.
6 Airbags Standard
Addressing safety concerns, the new Swift is expected to rectify its lax safety measures. With the adoption of six airbags as standard equipment, along with electronic safety features like electronic stability control and ABS with EBD, the Swift aims to prioritize occupant safety across all variants.
Wireless Phone Charging
Catering to the high demand for convenience features, the next-gen Swift is likely to incorporate wireless phone charging, a technology sourced from the Brezza. This feature not only adds practicality but also complements the wireless smartphone connectivity ensuring the driver's device remains charged on the go.
360 Degree Camera
To enhance maneuverability in tight spaces, Maruti Suzuki is expected to introduce a 360-degree camera in the India-spec Swift. This feature, already present in the Swift sold overseas, will likely be available in higher trims, providing drivers with a comprehensive view for navigating through challenging lanes.
Heads-Up Display (HUD)
The inclusion of a Heads-Up Display (HUD) is anticipated in the 2024 Swift, contributing to an improved driving experience. By projecting crucial information onto the windscreen the HUD allows drivers to focus on the road ahead enhancing safety and reducing distractions.
As the 2024 Maruti Suzuki Swift embraces these advanced features from the Brezza, it is poised to be a more technologically sophisticated and formidable contender in the market. While the addition of these features may result in a higher price point compared to its predecessor, the enhanced driving experience and safety offerings position the Swift competitively against rivals such as the Tata Punch, Hyundai Grand i10 Nios, Nissan Magnite, and Renault Kiger.
