2024 Maruti Swift: Design, Features, Safety
As seen in the leaked photos, the new Swift now gets a curvy design. The refreshed front has a new bonnet, a new bumper, a new grille, and a new set of LED headlights. We suppose that the spied-on car is a top-spec model; hence, it gets LED foglights. The side profile looks a bit extended and bigger than the outgoing model.
The vertical door handles at the rear have now moved to the conventional positioning. Also, it gets a new set of 16-inch dual-tone alloy wheels. Look closely and the rear design has also been refreshed with a new curvy boot lid, stretched-out LED taillights, and a new bumper.
On the interiors, the dashboard is new with a refreshed center console and a bigger infotainment screen. This screen has been carried from the Maruti Brezza and it'll support the connected features like Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Additionally, the instrument cluster is a semi-digital unit carried from Fronx. The steering wheel, meanwhile, looks slightly refreshed with new piano black highlights. Important thing to note, the Swift model spotted doesn't get an auto-dimming IRVM.
A few leaked online reports hint that the new Swift will become safer. It'll get 6 airbags as standard and the build quality is also expected to get better.

2024 Maruti Swift: Engine, Gearbox, Fuel Economy
The biggest update with the new-gen model will be its new 1.2-lt Z-series engine. This 3-cylinder naturally-aspirated petrol motor will replace the current K series engine. This engine will be less on power and more on fuel economy. As per a leaked online document, it'll deliver a staggering 25.72 kmpl of ARAI-claimed fuel economy. This is 3 kmpl more than the outgoing model.
Maruti will debut the new Swift with the options of a 5-speed manual and a 5-speed AMT gearbox. There are no plans to introduce a CNG version at the launch. However, going forward we are sure that the CNG models will also be launched.
