2024 Maruti Suzuki Swift: What To Expect?
In this image, you can see that the rear design of the upcoming Swift is quite similar to the current one, but there are some subtle changes like a tweaked bumper and updated tail lamps featuring an inverted C motif.
Earlier spy shots offered a sneak peek at the Swift's front design, showcasing new headlights with integrated L-shaped DRLs. The side profile resembles the current model but with a more noticeable shoulder line. The spy shot also revealed a fresh grille design and a shift in the placement of rear door handles, opting for a more conventional position rather than the C-pillar. Additionally, the car sports new alloys, a departure from the current design.
While we haven't seen the interior images yet, the new model is expected to feature a redesigned dashboard hosting a 9-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto. The three-spoke steering wheel and AC controls borrowed from the Fronx are anticipated. Inside, there will be wireless phone charging, cruise control, and keyless entry with push-button start/stop.
In terms of safety, Hyundai recently announced a significant upgrade by making 6 airbags standard across all models, a move likely to influence other brands. The upcoming Swift may follow suit, enhancing safety with 6 airbags, ESC, ABS with EBD, and a standard reverse parking camera with parking sensors.
