2024 Maruti Suzuki Swift: Features

The new generation Maruti Suzuki Swift has a newly laid-out cabin with numerous features, which take care of comfort, convenience and safety departments. The revamped interior has a modern design language, which resembles the new-age Maruti cars like the Baleno, Fronx and Brezza. 

The exterior of the new Swift has LED lights at the front and rear. The front end has a clamshell bonnet with a revamped gloss-finished grille, flanked by LED projector headlamps, consisting of L-shaped LED DRLs. The rear end has a revamped bumper and revised tail lamps in C-shape. Further, this vehicle has also received a new set of 15-inch alloy wheels. 

The Swift’s interior features include an Arkamys-sourced sound system, Type-C charging ports, auto HVAC, rear A/c vents, a wireless charger, and a 9-inch SmartPlay Pro+ touchscreen infotainment unit, which supports Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Behind the leather-wrapped multifunction steering wheel, there is an analogue instrument cluster with an integrated 4.2-inch MID unit. This vehicle also has a connected car technology. The 40-connected car features can be accessed via the Suzuki Connect application.  

Furthermore, the new Maruti Suzuki Swift now has a stronger build quality. Its shell is now made of 45% of high tensile steel and 20% ultra-high tensile steel. In fact, the fourth-gen Suzuki Swift secured a four-star safety rating in the Japan NCAP crash test. 

On the safety front, the fourth-generation Maruti Suzuki Swift has six airbags as standard, across its variants. Besides that, this homegrown hatchback packs a three-point seatbelt, hill-hold assist, ABS with EBD, electronic stability program (ESP), and so on.
