3. 2024 Maruti Swift: Gets You More Mileage, But...

The 2024 Swift debuts a fresh mild-hybrid powertrain, showcasing a 1.2-liter, three-cylinder, Z Series petrol engine calibrated to produce 81.58 PS power and 112 Nm of torque. Offered with both 5-speed manual and AMT transmissions, the new engine delivers enhanced fuel efficiency while marginally sacrificing power. The AMT version achieves an impressive mileage of 25.75 kmpl, while the manual variant returns 24.80 kmpl, marking a notable 14% increase for the AMT and a 10% boost for the manual gearbox. These improvements resonate positively with Indian consumers. However, compared to the previous engine that produced 89 Ps power, this one takes a slight hit in numbers.
