What’s New In The Suzuki Swift?

Calling all hatchback lovers! The wait is over – the iconic Maruti Suzuki Swift has arrived in its much-anticipated 2024 edition! This marks the fourth generation of the Swift, a car that’s earned its place as India’s favorite hatchback thanks to its sporty design, legendary reliability, and impressive fuel efficiency.

Fresh Design, Unmatched Performance

The 2024 Swift ups the ante with a stunning new design that’s sure to turn heads. The front features eye-catching LED projector headlamps with L-shaped DRLs, while a sleek new grille proudly displays the Suzuki logo. The bonnet’s sharp crease line flows seamlessly to the tail lamp, creating a dynamic silhouette.

On the sides, a key change is the return of the rear door handle to its familiar position. The sloping roofline adds a sporty touch, while the new 15-inch alloy wheels enhance the visual appeal. The rear retains the recognizable C-shaped LED taillights, adding a touch of continuity.

Revamped Interior with Tech-Savvy Features

Step inside the 2024 Swift and discover a completely revamped dashboard that retains a touch of familiarity with other Maruti Suzuki models like the Brezza. Gone are the manual AC controls; the new Swift boasts sleek toggle switches for temperature and fan speed. The AC vents are conveniently located between the controls and a massive 9-inch infotainment system with Maruti Suzuki’s Smartplay Pro+ and Suzuki Connect connectivity. A brushed aluminum strip adds a touch of sophistication, while the redesigned instrument cluster with dial needles offers a sporty feel.

The Right Size for City Adventures

The 2024 Swift comes in at a manageable 3860mm long, 1735mm wide, and 1520mm high, with a wheelbase of 2450mm. This makes it perfect for navigating city streets and tight parking spots. Its turning radius of 4.8m and ground clearance of 163mm ensure easy maneuverability. The car weighs in at a lightweight 925kg, contributing to its impressive fuel efficiency.
