At the rear, it features a re-designed tailgate, a new bumper with a skid plate, and an integrated rear spoiler with a stop lamp. Other highlights include LED taillights with C-shaped DRLs, blacked-out ORVMs, roofs, and pillars, and prominent character lines running across the door panels.

Inside, the new Swift takes inspiration from the Baleno and Fronx, featuring a new dashboard layout with a floating infotainment system. Expected features include wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, connected car tech, steering-mounted controls, automatic climate controls, and other convenience features.
Engine and Gearbox
The new Swift is expected to be powered by an all-new 1.2-litre, three-cylinder, naturally aspirated petrol engine, replacing the existing K12 four-cylinder engine. Detailed specifications are yet to be revealed, but it is expected to deliver over 85 hp of power and 110 nm of torque. Gearbox options will include a 5-speed manual or an AMT.
Maruti Suzuki India has commenced pre-bookings of the fourth-generation Epic New Swift at an initial payment of ₹11,000. The company has not yet announced a certain launch date for its hatchback car, which it describes as “sporty and has a dynamic driving performance.” The new Swift aims to blend its much-loved sporty DNA with modern expectations of environmental friendliness and low emissions.
Maruti Suzuki recently raised the price of the Swift and some Grand Vitara variants, with the Swift seeing a price increase of up to Rs 25,000. However, this price hike hasn’t deterred customers, as Maruti Suzuki’s yearly sales volume has surpassed two million units, showing a significant increase in net profit for FY 2023–24.
