Maruti Suzuki has launched a limited edition model of their popular hatchback Swift in India. Known as Swift Deca, it is based on the current-gen Swift's VXi and VDi variants.. This may be Maruti's way of reviving the slowing down sales of the Swift because a lot of buyers are preferring Hyundai i20 Elite and Maruti Suzuki Baleno over Swift.

The Swift Deca is available in two variants – the mid-spec VXi priced at Rs 5.94 lakh and VDi priced at Rs 6.87 lakh.
