That being said, Maruti Suzuki had already commenced the bookings for the all-new Swift hatchback in India. Moreover, the booking amount for the new Swift has been capped at Rs 11,000.

To overcome this power deficit, the new Maruti Suzuki Swift is a lot more fuel efficient, courtesy of its new engine. According to Maruti Suzuki, the manual variant returns a fuel efficiency figure of 24.80km/l, whereas the AGS variant is even more efficient with a mileage of 25.75km/l.
In terms of features, the new Swift now comes with more features than ever before with features such as a bigger infotainment unit, rear AC vents, automatic climate control, and much more.
With the new Swift, Maruti Suzuki also seems to have stepped up the safety game as the model recently scored an impressive 4-star safety rating at the Japan NCAP crash tests.
