Maruti Suzuki to launch all-new Swift at Auto Expo 2018

Maruti Suzuki’s all-new Swift, which is built to perform, is all set for the India premier at Auto Expo 2018. Pioneering the compact car segment in India, Swift has evolved in this new avatar for young and ever-changing customers of India.

The bookings for the new Swift have been opened with an initial payment of Rs 11,000.

The iconic Swift, which continues to feature among the top five best selling cars in India for over a decade, now comes with a brand new design.

The completely new Swift is engineered with the best of Suzuki’s design capabilities and built on the innovative fifth generation Heartect platform. The platform gets more strength and rigidity and helps to improve the power to weight ratio, leading to better acceleration performance for a peppy and fun to drive experience.

The company is also planning a global premiere of its new compact car known as Concept FutureS at the Auto Expo in February 2018. The Concept FutureS is a compact car with SUV like characters and will create its own positioning by breaking away from the conventional proportions of a compact car.

The all-new Swift is wider, compact and with longer wheel base allowing more cabin space, headroom as well as luggage space.


Commenting on the all-new Swift, RS Kalsi, senior executive director - Marketing and Sales at Maruti Suzuki India, said: “We will take the excitement to a new height with the all-new Swift. The all-new Swift with its distinctive design, advanced technology, uplifting performance and enduring driver experience will bring disruption in the premium hatchback segment. In its newest avatar, the Swift undergoes a bold transformation to meet the aspiration of young and ever changing customer. We are delighted to open bookings for the all-new Swift and look forward to a grand launch at the Auto Expo 2018.”

The all-new Swift will now be available with Maruti Suzuki’s acclaimed Auto Gear Shift (AGS) technology in both petrol and diesel trims, and it is more aerodynamic and poised to offer superior ride, handling and drivability.

New Maruti Suzuki Swift: All you need to know



India's leading carmaker Maruti Suzuki has finally unveiled the third-generation Swift for the Indian market. After opening bookings for the new model on Thursday, the company has now handed over its official brochure to us and has updated its website as well.

NEW DELHI: India's leading carmaker Maruti Suzuki has finally unveiled the third-generation Swift for the Indian market. After opening bookings for the new model on Thursday, the company has now handed over its official brochure to us and has updated its website as well. So, let's see what the updated version is going to offer.

The new Maruti Swift will be launched at the Auto Expo 2018 and will be offered in 12 variant options with Automated Manual Transmission (AMT) available in both petrol and diesel trims. While the car looks all-new in its updated avatar, the engines and the transmissions have been carried forward from the existing model without any change in the state of tuning.
The petrol version is powered by the 1.2-litre K-series engine which delivers 83PS at 6,000rpm and a peak torque of 113Nm at 4,200rpm. Propelling the diesel variants is the successful Fiat's 1.3-litre Multijet engine that produces 190Nm of torque at just 2,000rpm while offering a power output of 75PS at 4,000rpm. Both the engines come mated to a five-speed gearbox with the AMT option available in the selected variants only.

The new Swift is based on the company's latest Heartect platform which offers 20mm larger wheelbase while making the car much more (over 85kg) lighter than the outgoing model. It will surely help the new version to deliver better performance as well as the fuel efficiency than the existing one.
n its fifth-generation, the platform has also been claimed to provide the car with enhanced rigidity, improved strength and better NVH level. The length of the car in the new version has been reduced by 10mm while the width has been extended by 40mm to offer more cabin space as well as an increased boot space by 58 litres, around 28 per cent more than the second-generation Swift.

The new Swift will be available in 12 variant options, starting with the LXi/LDi trims while the top-end trims will be ZXi/ZDi. These variants will offer following features:

Features of the new Swift LXi and LDi:
  • Body coloured bumpers
  • 14-inch steel wheels with 165/80 R14 tyres
  • Five-sped manual transmission
  • Amber backlit instrument cluster
  • Gear shift indicator
