Maruti Suzuki, India's leading car manufacturer, has announced a price increase for its popular Swift hatchback model. The revision in the price tags affects various variants, with hikes ranging from Rs 15,000 to Rs 39,000.
This latest price adjustment to the ever-popular Maruti Suzuki Swift hatchback comes at a time when car enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting the launch of the upcoming next-generation Maruti Suzuki Swift hatchback, slated for release in mid-May 2024.
Price Adjustments Across Variants
The most significant increase is observed in the ZXi+ variant of the Swift, with the manual version seeing a Rs 39,000 jump. Other variants, including the VXi, VXi AMT, and VXi CNG, have seen a more modest rise of Rs 15,000. The table below details the new pricing structure for the Maruti Swift variants:
| Variant | New Price | Old Price | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| LXI | Rs 6.24 lakh | Rs 5.99 lakh | Rs 25,000 |
| VXI | Rs 7.15 lakh | Rs 7 lakh | Rs 15,000 |
| VXI AMT | Rs 7.65 lakh | Rs 7.50 lakh | Rs 15,000 |
| ZXI | Rs 7.93 lakh | Rs 7.68 lakh | Rs 25,000 |
| ZXI AMT | Rs 8.43 lakh | Rs 8.18 lakh | Rs 25,000 |
| ZXI+ | Rs 8.78 lakh | Rs 8.39 lakh | Rs 39,000 |

Despite the price adjustments, the Maruti Swift remains unchanged in both looks and mechanics. It continues to offer the reliable performance of its 88.7bhp, 113Nm, 1.2-litre, four-cylinder petrol engine. The engine pairs with either a 5-speed manual or a 5-speed AMT gearbox.
Anticipation for the Next-Gen Swift
With the next-gen Maruti Suzuki Swift's launch on the horizon, this price revision is seen as a strategic move. Automakers often adjust prices of current models before introducing a new generation, to better position the upcoming release.
The upcoming all-new Swift, codenamed YED, promises a fresh design, an updated interior, and an all-new 1.2-litre, three-cylinder petrol engine. Notably, it will feature a larger 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system and potentially, six airbags as a standard offering.
DriveSpark Thinks
As the automotive industry and consumers alike look forward to the next-gen Swift, the question of pricing remains. Will Maruti Suzuki maintain the current price range, or will the new features and updates lead to a higher price point? Only the official launch will reveal the final details.
