The Maruti Suzuki Swift has long been a favorite in the Indian hatchback market — and now, in August 2025, it’s back with a fresh twist. Still cheeky and youthful, the new Swift arrives with a more premium design, better fuel efficiency, and modern tech — all while keeping its budget-friendly badge.
Whether you’re a first-time car buyer or just looking for a smart city companion, the new Swift may just tick all your boxes.
Engine
At the heart of the new Swift is a newly developed 1.2-litre, 3-cylinder Z-Series petrol engine. This powertrain focuses more on efficiency than outright performance. Maruti claims a mileage of 25.75 km/l with the AMT — making it one of the most fuel-efficient hatchbacks in India.
You get to choose between a 5-speed manual or a 5-speed AMT. So whether you love the feeling of shifting gears or just want an easy drive in traffic, there’s something for you.
Design
Maruti didn’t mess too much with the compact shape — and that’s a good thing. The Swift still looks familiar, but now comes with sharper design cues. It gets:
- A bolder front grille
- New LED headlamps and DRLs
- Redesigned tail lamps
- Stylish alloy wheels
The car now looks younger and more upmarket without losing its sporty edge.
Cabin
Step inside and you’ll immediately spot the upgrades. The cabin now feels a lot more refined and tech-savvy. Key features include:
- A 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system
- Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay
- Rear parking camera
- Push-button start/stop
The interior strikes a fine balance between practicality and premium feel — perfect for the urban crowd.
Safety
Maruti has finally taken safety seriously across all variants. The 2025 Swift comes standard with:
- Six airbags
- ABS with EBD
- Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
- Hill hold assist
- ISOFIX child seat mounts
That means even the base variant won’t compromise on passenger protection — a welcome change for the segment.
Pricing
The expected starting price is ₹6.5 lakh (ex-showroom). For what it offers — safety, style, fuel efficiency, and brand trust — the pricing seems just right. Maruti knows its target audience and has made sure the Swift stays affordable, yet aspirational.
So, what’s the verdict? If you want a hatchback in 2025 that looks smart, drives well, returns killer mileage, and won’t cost a fortune — the new Swift deserves a spot on your shortlist. It’s still the car we all loved, just grown-up and better in all the right ways.
