Discussing the interior attributes, you'll find a generous 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system equipped with seamless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration. Analog dials accompanied by a multi-info display, a single-zone climate control, keyless entry with push-button start, a convenient wireless phone charger, and steering-mounted audio controls contribute to a well-rounded set of features. Prioritizing passenger safety, the vehicle incorporates multiple airbags, ABS with EBD, electronic stability control, and notably, advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) features.
Now, if you're picturing the interior of the Maruti Suzuki Swift in the UK, think of it like the dashboards in Fronx or Grand Vitara. The colours black, white, and silver give the cabin a sporty feel, making your ride in the 2024 Swift not just safe but stylish too.
Beneath the surface, the UK version of the Suzuki Swift boasts a fresh 82 PS 1.2-litre three-cylinder petrol engine, coupled with a 12 V mild-hybrid system. Although the details about transmission choices are not yet disclosed, it is likely to come with a 5-speed manual and CVT options, similar to the Japanese model. However, in India, the CVT might be substituted with an AMT to manage costs effectively.
Anticipated to hit the market in 2024, the 2024 Suzuki Swift is projected to come with a slightly higher price tag compared to the current model, which starts at Rs 5.99 lakh (ex-showroom).
Verdict
The 2024 Maruti Suzuki Swift presents a promising update with its refreshed design, enhanced engine, and modern interior features. The infusion of safety technologies and a mild-hybrid system adds to its appeal, positioning it competitively in its segment. This updated version will once again compete with rivals such as the Hyundai Grand i10 Nios and Tata Punch.
