The Maruti Suzuki Swift has long been one of India’s best-selling hatchbacks. Known for its sporty appeal, fuel efficiency, and practical performance, the Swift continues to be a go-to choice for a wide range of customers—from young professionals to small families. With the 2024 update, Maruti has refined the Swift even further, making it more attractive, tech-loaded, and safer than before. Here’s a detailed look into what the latest Swift offers.
Exterior Design: Sporty and Modern
The 2024 Maruti Swift gets a more dynamic and aggressive exterior. The front grille now features a sleeker, honeycomb-style pattern with chrome accents. The LED projector headlamps with stylish DRLs (Daytime Running Lights) enhance the car’s sporty look. The dual-tone alloy wheels add a fresh vibe, while the rear design remains clean with subtle tweaks to the taillights and bumper.
Interior: Enhanced Comfort and Features
Step inside, and the new Swift welcomes you with an improved, dual-tone dashboard and updated upholstery. The cabin now includes a 9-inch SmartPlay Pro+ touchscreen infotainment system that supports both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Features like automatic climate control, rear AC vents, engine start/stop button, steering-mounted controls, and adjustable driver seat boost convenience and comfort.
Maruti has also improved cabin insulation, offering a quieter driving experience.
Engine and Performance: Smooth and Efficient
Under the hood, the Swift 2024 comes with a 1.2-litre DualJet, Dual VVT petrol engine, delivering 90 PS of power and 113 Nm of torque. This engine is tuned for both city comfort and highway performance. The car is available with both a 5-speed manual and a 5-speed AMT gearbox.
The engine is refined and peppy, providing brisk acceleration and easy overtaking ability, especially in urban traffic.
Mileage: A Key Advantage
Fuel efficiency remains one of the Swift’s biggest strengths. The 2024 Swift offers a mileage of up to 23.76 km/l for both manual and AMT variants (as claimed by the company). This makes it one of the most fuel-efficient cars in its segment, ideal for both daily commutes and long drives.
Safety: Upgraded for Peace of Mind
Maruti Suzuki has increased focus on safety with the 2024 Swift. It now includes dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, rear parking sensors, ISOFIX child seat mounts, and a high-speed alert system. The top variants also feature a reverse parking camera and hill-hold assist (for AMT).
Variants and Pricing
The new Swift is offered in multiple variants: LXi, VXi, ZXi, ZXi+, and AMT trims. Prices start at approximately ₹6 lakh and go up to ₹9 lakh (ex-showroom). The wide range of variants ensures there’s a Swift for every budget and preference.
Conclusion: Still a Leader in Its Class
The Maruti Suzuki Swift 2024 continues its legacy as a fun-to-drive, stylish, and value-packed hatchback. Whether you’re looking for a fuel-efficient daily commuter or a small car with a premium feel, the Swift remains a solid contender in its category.
