The new generation Swift has made its debut at the Japan Mobility Show. While the overall silhouette looks familiar to the current model, it has a host of elements that are new and differentiating.
On the outside, the new Swift gets a new grille that is finished in gloss black, redesigned clusters for the LED headlamps, and a fresh pattern for the 16-inch alloy wheels. The Japan-spec Swift has an identical rear profile but for 2024 will get smoked elements for the tail lamps.
Inside, the new Swift gets a newly laid dashboard that is similar to the India-spec Maruti Suzuki Baleno and Fronx. The dashboard is dominated by a nine-inch touchscreen infotainment system, an analogue instrument cluster, and a black theme.
Suzuki has introduced a hybrid powertrain with the new Swift in Japan along with Level 2 ADAS. However, when launched in India next year, the Swift is likely to continue with the current 1.2-litre petrol engine. The motor will be coupled with a five-speed manual and an AMT unit.
