The new-generation Maruti Swift is gearing up for its launch in India in the first half of 2024. With an updated design, new engine options, and a revamped cabin, the 2024 Swift is expected to share several features with its larger sibling, the Maruti Fronx.
1. Bigger 9-inch Touchscreen
The 2024 Swift is set to receive a larger 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system, similar to the one found in the Maruti Fronx. This system will support wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity, providing a seamless and modern user experience.
2. Wireless Charging
To enhance convenience, the new Swift could feature wireless smartphone charging, a feature already available in the Fronx. This eliminates the need for cables and keeps the center console area tidy.
3. Heads-Up Display (HUD)
The Swift may also adopt the heads-up display (HUD) from the Fronx, which projects crucial information like speed, RPM, and fuel economy onto a small glass piece. This allows the driver to stay informed without taking their eyes off the road.
4. 360-Degree Camera
With the inclusion of the larger 9-inch touchscreen, the 2024 Swift is expected to offer a 360-degree camera system from the Fronx. This feature aids in navigating tight parking spots and maneuvering through congested traffic.
5. 6 Airbags
For enhanced safety, the new Swift is anticipated to come equipped with up to six airbags, matching the safety standards of the Fronx. While not currently standard in the Fronx, the upcoming mandate for six airbags could see this feature become standard in the 2024 Swift as well.
Expected Price & Rivals
The 2024 Maruti Swift is expected to be priced starting at Rs 6 lakh (ex-showroom). It will continue to compete with the Hyundai Grand i10 Nios and serve as an alternative to the Maruti Wagon R and Maruti Ignis hatchbacks.
The 2024 Maruti Swift is set to bring a host of new features borrowed from the Maruti Fronx, enhancing its appeal in the competitive hatchback segment. With its updated design, modern features, and improved safety, the new Swift is poised to continue its legacy as a popular choice among Indian car buyers.
