Swift
Since its introduction in 2005 to the Indian market Maruti Suzuki Swift was one of the most loved hot hatchback of India with over 2.4 million units sold within the country over a time span of 16 years!!!
It took 6 years to get a second generation Swift which was out in 2011 and another 6 years for the third generation Swift to hit the Indian roads in 2017.
Now we have got a long awaited facelift of the third generation Swift which will help to compete against all the newbies like Tata Tiago, Hyundai Santro and i10 NIOS.
Swift 2021 Facelift
The all new Facelift Swift gets a little bit of cosmetic changes from the outside with a new heart to rev, some additional features that might make it more safer and dual paint scheme which makes it look like a Mini Cooper.
Exterior
The all new Swift gets a new grill that gets a silver finish on the grille mesh along with a chunky chrome strip in the centre which divides the air intake into half.
The 2021 Maruti Suzuki Swift gets three new dual-tone colours - Pearl Arctic White with Pearl Midnight Black roof, Solid Fire Red with Pearl Midnight Black roof, Pearl Metallic Midnight Blue with Pearl Arctic White roof.
Powertrain
There is a new powertrain as well with the older 1.2-litre K-Series motor replaced with the new-generation 1.2-litre Dual Jet VVT petrol engine that is also seen on the Baleno hatchback. The new engine also comes with increased power output, up from 82 bhp to 88 bhp at 6000 rpm and 113 Nm of peak torque at 4200 rpm. The new engine gets Idle Start Stop (ISS) technology for enhanced efficiency, while it also gets Dual VVT and Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system that help achieve lower emissions. As a result, the new Swift is now more fuel-efficient and claims an ARAI certified 23.20 kmpl on the manual and 23.76 kmpl on the AMT version.
Other features
The new Swift facelift comes with cruise control, key synchronised auto foldable ORVMs, revised twin-pod instrument cluster with a 4.2-inch MID coloured TFT display. There's a new 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with SmartPlay Studio that offers better usability with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. On the safety front, the model now comes with Electronic Stability Program (ESP) with Hill-Hold on the AMT versions, bigger brakes at the front and rear, as well as revised steering with a better return-ability mechanism. Other features include dual airbags, ABS with EBD, pre-tensioner and force limiters, seatbelt reminder for the front seats, ISOFIX anchors, reverse parking sensors with camera and more.
