Design-wise, the new Swift showcases a revamped appearance with updated elements such as a redesigned front bumper, a new grille, enhanced headlamps, and LED daytime running lights. The Suzuki logo now sits prominently on the bonnet, complemented by fresh dual-tone alloy wheels on the sides. Notable updates also include blacked-out ORVMs, roof, and pillars, while the rear end sports a redesigned tailgate, a new bumper with a skid plate, and LED tail lights with distinctive C-shaped DRLs. However, slight variations in design for the India-spec model are anticipated.
Moving to the interior, the cabin of the 2024 Swift is expected to receive a technology and comfort upgrade, possibly drawing inspiration from Maruti Suzuki’s Baleno and Fronx models. Safety features are set to include six airbags, a tyre pressure monitor, ABS with EBD and brake assist, electronic stability control, and hill hold control. Advanced driver assistance features like lane keeping assist, blind spot monitor, and warning systems for lane departure are also likely to be present, though the full ADAS suite may not be offered in the Indian market.
Under the hood, the Japanese variant of the Swift boasts a new Z-series 1.2-litre, three-cylinder petrol engine producing 82 hp and 108 Nm of torque, paired with a CVT transmission. A mild-hybrid version with a DC synchronous motor is also available, offering additional power and torque. Fuel efficiency for the standard and mild-hybrid models is rated at 23.4 kmpl and 24.5 kmpl, respectively, as per the WLTP cycle. Whether the India-spec model will include hybrid technology remains to be seen.
