New Maruti Swift : Maruti Suzuki’s latest Swift hatchback bursts onto Indian roads with a cheeky design that echoes the premium Mini Cooper, all while keeping prices grounded for the everyday buyer.

This peppy pocket rocket blends sporty British-inspired curves with Japanese reliability, offering city slickers a fun drive without breaking the bank.

From bustling Mumbai streets to highway dashes, the new Swift promises zippy performance, modern tech, and space that punches above its class—all starting under ₹6 lakh.​

Sporty Design Channels Mini Cooper Flair

The Swift’s exterior nails that playful Mini Cooper essence with a compact footprint—3,860mm long, 1,735mm wide—but wrapped in bolder lines and a grinning front fascia.

Honeycomb grille flanked by slim LED headlights and chunky C-shaped taillamps give it a premium wink, while 16-inch alloys add stance without bulk.

Dual-tone paint jobs in fiery reds or midnight blues pop like a Cooper S, and the coupe-like roofline keeps it agile.​

Ground clearance at 163mm tackles potholes like a champ, and aero tweaks promise 25+ kmpl efficiency.

It’s not a clone—Maruti’s HEARTECT platform adds lightness—but the vibe screams fun urban runabout, turning heads at traffic lights for half the Mini’s sticker.​

Z12E Engine Delivers Punchy Thrills

Under the hood hums the new 1.2L three-cylinder Z12E petrol, churning 80 bhp and 112 Nm through a slick 5-speed manual or AMT auto.

Idle start-stop tech and mild-hybrid assist stretch mileage to 25.75 kmpl ARAI, real-world 22-24 kmpl on mixed runs. CNG variant dials to 69 bhp/102 Nm for 32+ km/kg frugality.​

Acceleration feels lively—0-100 kmph in 12 seconds—with peppy low-end torque for overtakes. No turbo lag, just smooth revs to 5,700 rpm, and the cabin stays hushed thanks to better insulation.

It’s no hot hatch, but zips past rivals like WagonR or i20 with grin-inducing verve.​

Spacious Cabin Punches Above Weight

Slide inside to a surprisingly roomy nest for five: 2,450mm wheelbase stretches rear legroom to 900mm, letting adults chill without knees in ears.

265L boot expands with 60:40 folds, swallowing weekend bags or grocery hauls. Dual-tone dash with 7-inch touchscreen, wireless Android Auto/CarPlay, and Arkamys audio feels upscale.​

Top ZXi+ trims add cruise control, push-button start, and auto AC—ventilated seats optional? Nah, but cooled glovebox and rear vents keep it fresh.

Steering wheel mounts controls; 360-view camera aids tight spots. Build quality shines with soft-touch plastics—feels premium without Mini’s price tag.​

Safety and Tech Keep It Modern

Six airbags standard across board (up from old models), ABS with EBD, ESC, hill-hold, and rear parking sensors earn nods—though Global NCAP lags at one star, Bharat NCAP tests loom promising.

ISOFIX anchors, seatbelt reminders, and Suzuki Connect telematics ping breakdowns or geo-fence kids.​

Head-up display on toppers, auto headlamps, and rain-sensing wipers add polish. It’s loaded for lakhs less than a base Cooper, with OTA updates keeping infotainment fresh.​

New Maruti Swift Ride, Handling, Ownership Joy

Suspension balances plush city bounces with planted corners—McPherson fronts, torsion beam rear grip like glue.

Light steering darts through traffic; brakes haul confidently. Highway stability impresses at 120 kmph, wind noise minimal.​

Variants span LXi (₹6.49L ex-showroom) to ZXi+ (₹8.3L), CNG from ₹8L. Service every 10K km, resale sky-high—Swift’s the used-car king.

Three-year warranty, extendable. Against Hyundai i20 or Tata Altroz, Swift wins on cost, mileage, network.​

Fuel up cheap, drive with flair—new Swift’s the smart buy for Cooper dreams on a budget. Test one; addiction starts at first twist.
