New Maruti Suzuki Swift vs Old Model: Design

With its fourth generation, Swift has evolved its design while staying true to its roots. From every angle, you can see its Swift identity. It's got new angular headlights, a sleeker grille, and updated taillights for a more modern feel. One notable change is that it now has regular rear door handles instead of ones on the C-pillar like before. Plus, small tweaks like redesigned windows and a smoother line from the front to the back make it look even stronger overall.
