2024 Maruti Swift Epic Edition: Base Variant Gets Brimmed Up!
The 2024 Maruti Swift is now even more appealing than before with plenty of standard features. Taking it a notch up, dealerships are accessorizing the base variant to shed the inhibitions associated with lackluster entry-level trims. With the new Epic Edition, the base LXi trim now gets a total of 26 new features and elements and this accessory pack is priced at an additional Rs. 67,878.
The 2024 Maruti Swift Epic Edition presents a range of upscale enhancements, including a refined piano gloss black grill, LED fog lights with an OEM switch on the dashboard, front quarter panel decals, roof decals, distinctive bonnet decals, gloss black 14-inch wheel caps, door visors featuring chrome inserts, chrome lining along the shoulder line, a gloss black roof spoiler with chrome detailing, chrome door handles, side molding, an antenna, and ORVM cap with a carbon fiber effect, among other features.
Inside, it offers a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system by Pioneer, complemented by four speakers two from Pioneer and two from JBL, along with dual-tone leatherette seat covers, a leatherette steering cover, mats, and more. As for whether the new Swift Epic Edition justifies its price, that's ultimately subjective and depends on individual preferences and priorities. Some may find it reasonable, while others will be happy with the regular variant sans any add-ons.

The Epic Edition is a take on everything that the base variant can be. While the additional pricing is set around Rs. 68,000, it solely comes down to what you aspire your base variant should look like.
