The Swift gets dual-tone variants for the first time
Maruti has launched the facelifted Swift and with it come a couple of updates to the design, engine, and features. The hatchback also gets dual-tone variants that are priced at a premium above the top-spec ZXI+ variants. Let’s take a look at what’s new in the updated Swift:
A New Face
The facelift includes only one significant design change: a new honeycomb mesh grille with a chrome strip in the middle. Unfortunately, the major design updates from the Japan-spec model like the sportier bumper haven’t made it to our shores.

The Swift is now dearer by up to Rs 25,000. The new dual-tone variants, which are restricted to the top-spec ZXI+ trim, carry a premium of Rs 14,000 over the standard ZXI+. The dual-tone options consist of three combinations: Pearl Arctic White with Pearl Midnight Black roof, Solid Fire Red with Pearl Midnight Black roof, Pearl Metallic Midnight Blue with Pearl Arctic White roof.
With this facelift, the Swift sees only one noticeable update in its design: a new honeycomb mesh grille with a chrome strip in between. Inside, it gets new features such as cruise control, idle start-stop, and auto-foldable ORVMs. It also gets a new 4.2-inch TFT driver’s display borrowed from the Baleno. Safety is covered by dual airbags, ABS with EBD, rear parking sensors, rear parking camera, ISOFIX, and seatbelt reminder in the front seats. The Swift’s AMT variants also come equipped with new safety features such as electronic stability control (ESC) and hill-hold function
