Dubbed the Blitz, the special edition gets a free accessories package worth Rs 49,848. This means that the new Swift Blitz is priced the same as the standard version, from Rs 6.49 lakh to Rs 8.02 lakh (ex-showroom). The Blitz is available in three variants of the hatchback – LXI, VXI, and VXI(O) – and adds a rear underbody spoiler, front fog lamps, illuminated door sills, a rear upper spoiler, door visors, and side body cladding.
