The design of the Swift has been made sharper and more aggressive than the current model. It gets refreshed headlights with updated DRLs and a new grille. It also gets sportier-looking alloy wheels and the rear doors now have conventional handles replacing the ones on the C-pillar, as seen on the current model. It features inverted C-shaped LED signature DRLs and black inserts on the rear bumper, giving it a sportier look.

The interior of the new Swift will get a completely fresh design for the dashboard. It will take inspiration from other Maruti cars such as the Fronx and Baleno. However, we expect it to come with a different colour theme.
In terms of features, the Swift is expected to get a 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system, wireless phone charger, a head-up display, connected car features, automatic climate control and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
The safety features on offer will likely include six airbags, front and rear parking sensors, and a 360-degree camera system.
We expect the 2024 Swift to be powered by the new 1.2-litre 3-cylinder petrol engine which produces 82 PS and 112 Nm, which could replace the 1.2-litre 4-cylinder petrol K-series dual-jet engine. Like before, it will be available with a 5-speed manual transmission and likely with an AMT, instead of the CVT offered overseas, to keep costs in check.
It is anticipated that the price of the next Swift will be made public in the early part of May. Compared to the current generation Swift, which is priced between Rs 5.99 lakh and Rs 9.03 lakh (ex-showroom), it is anticipated to cost more. In the Indian market, it will compete against the Hyundai Grand i10 Nios, Tata Tiago, Renault Triber, and Tata Punch.

2024 Maruti Swift: Elevating Cabin Comforts and Safety Standards
In the cabin, Maruti Suzuki aims to provide a heightened level of comfort and safety. Drawing inspiration from the Maruti Fronx, the new Swift is speculated to introduce a cutting-edge 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system featuring wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support, available in select variants. Additional cabin updates include refreshed colour schemes and the continuation of features like a head-up display unit, automatic climate control, and rear AC vents.
Safety takes precedence with the inclusion of six airbags, electronic stability control, ABS, EBD, and a tyre pressure monitoring system. Front and rear parking sensors, along with ISOFIX child seat mounts, further enhance passenger safety. While features like a 360-degree camera and ADAS remain exclusive to the international variant, the Indian model prioritizes essential safety elements.
Powering the 2024 Maruti Swift is a new 1.2-litre Z series, 3-cylinder petrol engine, delivering an estimated 83 horsepower and 112 Nm of torque. Offering versatility, the Indian variant will be available with both manual transmission and AMT gearbox options, ensuring a dynamic driving experience. With these enhancements, the next-generation Maruti Suzuki Swift aims to maintain its competitive edge against rivals such as the Hyundai Grand i10 Nios and the like.
