New Maruti Suzuki Swift Spotted Testing – Launch In 2024

Upcoming Maruti Suzuki Swift Spotted Testing In India | V3Cars

Suzuki showcased the latest generation Swift at the Tokyo Motor Show in late October. Now, Maruti Suzuki have started testing the 2024 Swift on our roads ahead of its India launch next year. Check out the latest spy shots of the new Swift.

New Maruti Suzuki Swift Spotted Testing

As many as 3 new Swifts were caught testing recently. We believe one of them could be a base or mid variant while the others could be the top-spec variant of the upcoming Swift hatchback. All 3 test mules were covered in heavy camouflage. However, we already know what the new Swift looks like after it was showcased at the Tokyo Motor Show. As far as features are concerned, the latest spy shots suggest that the new Swift could get a blind spot detection system in the top variant. 

The global-spec Swift was showcased with Level-2 ADAS (advanced driver assistance system), however, we do not expect the complete suite of ADAS features to make it to the India-spec Swift at launch. Instead, Maruti Suzuki could offer features like lane keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, and automatic emergency braking with the new hatchback.

2024 Maruti Suzuki Swift Features

We expect the upcoming Swift to offer more features than its predecessor. The top variants of the new Swift are likely to come equipped with the Baleno’s 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system as well as 360-degree parking camera. We could also expect the B1-segment hatchback to offer front parking sensors, and 3-point seatbelts and adjustable headrests for all passengers.

Upcoming Swift Powertrain Options

Arguably, the most exciting new feature of the new Swift is the new 1.2-litre 3-cylinder petrol engine codenamed the Z12. While the new Z12 engine is expected to replace the older K12 engine in global markets, we expect Maruti Suzuki to offer the 2024 Swift with the tried-and-tested 1.2-litre 4-cylinder K12C petrol engine with a 5-speed manual and automated manual transmission (AMT) as the current model, at least initially.

In India, the Swift is perceived as an enthusiast’s choice when compared to the more premium and spacious Baleno. While the stronger low end torque of the new engine will be appreciated by many, the loss of the Swift’s rev happy nature combined with a CVT will not. Furthermore, Maruti Suzuki do not offer a CVT in any of their sub-Rs. 10 lakh cars anymore after the discontinuation of the last-generation Baleno. The new Baleno and Fronx, like other hatchbacks from MSIL’s stable, utilise a tried-and-tested AMT and automatic car buyers seem to be lapping up the frugal nature of this powertrain combo. Hence, there isn’t any reason why Maruti Suzuki should fix something that isn’t broken.

Hence, we expect Maruti Suzuki to offer the new Swift 2024 with the current engine and gearbox options at launch. Later, the brand could offer the new Swift with the 1.0-litre 3-cylinder turbo petrol for those craving more performance. Like the Fronx, the Swift turbo petrol could come with 2 transmission options – a 5-speed manual and a 6-speed TC automatic. Meanwhile, Maruti Suzuki could introduce the new 1.2-litre Z12 mild hybrid engine with the introduction of the new-gen Dzire and could even offer it with the Baleno, when it receives a facelift in a couple of years. By taking this route, Maruti could keep the Swift enthusiast, the Baleno family car buyer and the Dzire fleet operator happy. To know more about the latest Swift 2024, check out the links below.
