Next-gen Maruti Suzuki Swift India launch next month, to get new Z-Series engine
The Maruti Suzuki Swift is generating significant buzz as it prepares to unveil a new generation model in May. This highly anticipated update will bring a fresh design, enhanced features, and a new 1.2-litre Z-Series three-cylinder petrol engine with mild-hybrid technology. This overhaul is expected to elevate the Swift's appeal and mark a significant advancement for the popular hatchback.
The new generation Maruti Suzuki Swift made its global debut at the 2023 Japan Mobility Show. Since then, the hatchback has gone on sale in global markets like Europe and Japan. Now, India is going to be added to that list. The India-spec next-generation Swift would be similar to the global model. However, the new generation Swift sits on the same platform as the current model.
