By The Swift is one of the most popular models of Maruti Suzuki in India. According to new reports, the company will officially commence production of the new generation Swift next month in India. Internally known as Maruti YED, the upcoming Swift has already been undergoing rigorous road testing in India and is set to commence production next month at the Hansalpur plant in Gujarat. The Swift has been a consistent performer for Maruti, with an impressive average of around 18,000 units sold each month.
While the overall styling retains the unmistakable Swift DNA, a closer inspection reveals numerous new design elements. The front end features a flatter nose with sharp headlamps, complete with LED daytime running lamps and a projector setup, showcasing a production-ready design. The grille has undergone a makeover, now larger and rounded on the edges, adorned with a gloss black and dark chrome finish, with the Suzuki logo positioned just under the bonnet. The front bumper showcases new cuts and creases, exuding a sportier aesthetic.
The side profile of the new Swift introduces a prominent character line that seamlessly integrates with the headlamps. The roofline and glass house retain the familiar Swift design, but the doors, particularly the rear door, feature a revised handle placement. Moving to the rear, the updated styling includes angular design cues, a redesigned bumper, and a refreshed tailgate. The Swift will be powered by a new 1.2 L three-cylinder, naturally aspirated unit which is codenamed as Z12 and it is expected to power lots of Maruti models in India.
