2017 Suzuki Swift Design


The 2017 Suzuki Swift is based on the Baleno’s lightweight platform and hence has shed weight by 100kg over the present model. On the exterior, the new Swift gets a hexagonal grille with chrome inserts, projector headlamps with LED DRLs ( Daytime Running Lamps) , LED tail lamps, ORVM’s indicator and fog lamps. Along with this, the hatchback features blackened out A, B & C pillars and rides on 16-inch alloy wheels. A key change in the new Swift is the placement of the rear door handles on the C-pillar, similar to theChevrolet Beat.


2017 Suzuki Swift Engine


The 2017 Suzuki Swift Japanese spec model receives two engine options - 1.0 litre, 3-cylinder Boosterjet engine and 1.2 litre DUALJET petrol motor, based on the new ’HEARTEC’ platform with SHVS technology. The 1.2 litre petrol motor produces 89 hp of power and 120 Nm of torque mated to a 5-speed manual and CVT transmission. The RSt variant receives the 1.0 litre Boosterjet engine which delivers 100hp of power and 150 Nm of torque mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission with a 2WD configuration. It is expected that the India bound Swift will get the existing 1.2 litre K-Series petrol motor and 1.3 litre DDiS motor mated to a 5-speed manual a CVT transmission. However, the company might launch the Swift RSt as a limited edition model in the country.


2017 Suzuki Swift- Interior


The Japanese model of the 2017 Suzuki Swift has received major updates inside the cabin such as a new touchscreen infotainment system compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. In addition, it also features a flat-bottomed three-spoke steering wheel, automatic climate control and instrument cluster with MID screen. These features are expected to be launched in the India-spec version too although, the availability might differ from one variant to the other.


2017 Suzuki Swift Safety


In terms of safety, the Japanese-spec model of the Swift gets features such as 7 airbags, ABS with EBD, ESP, reverse parking camera and rear seat belt pre tensioner. In addition, the new Swift gets a new safety feature Dual Sensor Brake Support ( DSBS) , a collision mitigating system and an Adaptive Cruise Control ( ACC) system, which automatically adjusts the speed of the car to maintain the safe distance. In India, we expect dual-front airbags and ABS with EBD to be standard across the model range. Higher versions could be offered with additional safety features.


2017 Suzuki Swift Price


Suzuki launched the new Swift between a price of 1.34 million Yen ( INR 7.78 lakh) to 1.84 million Yen ( INR 10.69 lakh) in Japan, It is expected that the new Swift when launched in India, might be priced at a premium of around Rs 35, 000 over the present model, pushing the starting price to about Rs 5.10 lakh, ex-showroom. When launched in India, the 2017 Swift will compete with the likes of Ford Figo andHyundai Grand i10 in its segment. TheMaruti Suzuki Swift has already made its mark in the Indian car segment in almost all aspects. Swift highlights


March 08, 2017: Suzuki has showcased the third-generation Swift at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show. As seen in its home country, Japan, debut last December, the all-new Swift retains the design of its predecessors and shares its platform with the Baleno and the Ignis. It becomes Suzuki’s first car to get the SHVS mild-hybrid tech with the 1.0-litre Boosterjet turbo petrol motor. And this engine could become the debutant petrol motor from Maruti Suzuki to get the SHVS mild-hybrid tech in India. Speaking of its Indian debut, the new Swift is expected to launch at the 2018 Indian Auto Expo early next year.


Speaking of the current model, Maruti Suzuki had introduced the facelifted second-generation Swift in October 2014. The updated Maruti Swift came with subtle aesthetic improvements along with a few additional features – such as push-button engine start-stop, reverse parking sensors, electronically foldable outside rear-view mirrors, Bluetooth phone integration, and others – over the previous version.  And it also came with a new upholstery. Mechanically, the Swift’s fuel efficiency was improved by 10 per cent with the mid-life update and, to deliver it, its existing ( 1.2-litre petrol and 1.3-litre diesel) engines were tweaked slightly.

Expert Review of Maruti Swift


PROSCONS


Refined petrol and punchy diesel engine makes it quite fun to drive! Light on the wallet! Claimed efficiency = 20.4kmpl ( petrol) / 25.2kmpl ( diesel) All-new interiors are better on quality, fit and finish compared to the outgoing version.


Standout Features


?


Among the best handling hatches in its class. Steering feels direct, suspension is a nice blend of comfort and dynamics. Great and affordable modification potential.


Cardekho Verdict


The Swift name has gained its popularity for all the right reasons. It’s a stylish, easy and fun to drive hatchback and feels quite well made too. The 1.2-litre petrol engine is peppy and responsive, while both engine options offer great fuel economy figures as well. Backed by Maruti Suzuki’s after-sales network and support, the Swift is, indeed, a can’t-go-wrong-option if you’re a first time car buyer, or someone upgrading from a budget hatchback. It’s also a fantastic buy if you’re a driving enthusiast.


The only drawback is it’s average cabin space and boot volume, which mean it isn’t the most practical car in the segment.

EXTERIOR INTERIOR


A decade has passed since Maruti Suzuki first brought the Swift to Indian shores. A city-slicker in the truest sense, the hatchback has found countless homes across the country and is among the best-selling Marutis of all time.Naturally, updating a blockbuster like the Swift is no easy task. Get the recipe wrong, and you risk ruining an icon. What’s the second avatar of the hatchback like? Let’s take a look!

Cons


Rear seat space is severely limited. Headroom at the rear isn’t great either due to the sloping roof.Boot space is a meagre 204-litres. Can accommodate a couple of backpacks at the most.
