Maruti Suzuki has updated its best-selling hatchback with the 2025 Swift facelift. Praised for its fuel efficiency and pint-sized appeal, the new version now features significant design and technology upgrades to keep it ahead in its class. From design tweaks to new tech and improved fuel efficiency, the new Swift retains its heritage while looking forward to the future. Here’s the lowdown.
Battery Configuration and Mild Hybrid Assistance
The 2025 Swift facelift comes with a 1.2-litre three-cylinder Z Series petrol motor, which is mated to a mild-hybrid system. The configuration is meant to improve overall fuel economy while delivering greater low-end torque. Even though not a plug-in hybrid or full-electric, the mild-hybrid system assists the engine during acceleration and contributes to improved fuel saving.
Performance and Practicality: Engine and Camera
The petrol engine provides approximately 82 PS and 112 Nm of torque. This keeps the Swift sprightly in urban traffic and prompt on highways. The options of a five-speed manual and a five-speed AMT gearbox provide flexibility in driving options. On the technology front, the new Swift has a rear parking camera for added convenience and safety in close manoeuvres.
Design, Comfort, and Features All Around
Design-wise, the 2025 Swift facelift gets an updated front fascia with a slimmer grille, new LED headlamps, and refreshed bumpers that provide it with a contemporary look. The interior is equipped with a fresh 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay support. Some of the added features are automatic climate control, push-button start, keyless entry, and rear AC vents—making it a complete package for comfort and usability.
Variants, Price Tag, and What’s on Offer
The facelift Swift is likely to arrive in various variants, across different budget segments. While the prices will be officially announced in proximity to its India launch, preliminary estimates hint at a minor premium over the existing car. Considering the design revamp and technological additions, the facelift is warranted in this move. Further details regarding individual trims and launch offers will be communicated later.
