Maruti Suzuki is gearing up to launch the new Swift in the Indian market on May 9. Meanwhile, the third-generation model, currently on sale, gets a discount worth up to Rs 38,000. It is important to keep in mind that the offer may vary depending on the variant. The hatchback, which is sold via the brand's Arena dealerships, is eligible for maximum benefits of up to Rs 38,100 for automatic variants. However, for the manual variants, Maruti Suzuki is providing savings of up to Rs 33,100. Furthermore, the CNG-powered versions of the model get up to Rs 18,100 off. As far as the price is concerned, the Swift costs between Rs 6.24 lakh and Rs 9.14 lakh. Both prices are ex-showroom figures.

Last month, the carmaker increased the Swift's price by up to Rs 39,000, depending on the variant opted for. Before the hike, the model carried an ex-showroom starting price tag of Rs 5.99 lakh. Currently, the on-sale Swift is available for Rs 6.24 lakh (ex-showroom).
The outgoing version of the Swift is powered by a 1.2-litre four-cylinder petrol engine. The unit can dish out 88bhp of maximum power and 113Nm of peak torque. On the transmission front, the available options include a five-speed MT or a five-speed AMT gearbox. The CNG variant puts out 75bhp of peak power and 98.5Nm of torque.

New Maruti Suzuki Swift
The fourth-generation Maruti Suzuki Swift gets major updates in terms of its exterior, interior, features, and drivetrain. The new iteration appears more upright than the outgoing model. The current generation's angular headlamps have also been adjusted, and the bonnet line seems higher than the third-generation version. The model's length has increased along the sides by the broad shoulder line, and the glasshouse is also slightly redesigned. The door handles are back to their original positions on the rear door, which now features a new rear quarter glass.
The new Z-Series 1.2-litre three-cylinder engine, which has already made its international debut, will replace the current K-Series petrol unit. The power and torque output stand at 89bhp and 113Nm, respectively. On the other hand, the global-spec model produces 82bhp of maximum power and 112Nm of peak torque. In addition to Maruti Suzuki's SHVS mild-hybrid technology, the engine should be offered with either a manual or an automatic gearbox.
An extensive feature list will make the upcoming Maruti Suzuki Swift an impressive product. The hatchback comes equipped with a 9.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system, an Arkamys sound system, rear air conditioning vents, a wireless charger, and A and C-type USB connectors. The safety suite includes six airbags, LED fog lights, three-point seatbelts for the back seat, an anti-lock braking system (ABS), and electronic stability control (ESP).
