After it was leaked online, the next generation of the Maruti Suzuki Swift has been spotted testing.
online, the next generation of the Maruti Suzuki Swift has been spotted testing. This is the first time that a prototype of the car has been seen in the flesh. Even though the car was heavily camouflaged, you can still see some of the design elements that were seen in the leaked images like the overall shape, new headlights and the hidden rear door handles, which are now on the upper corner of the window.
From the leaked images we can see that although the design of the car is a different, the overall shape of the hatchback has not changed. The design is sharper than before. It gets new headlight, new front bumper with larger air intakes, a floating roof, new tail lights, a crease running between the tail lights and new alloy wheels. The rear doors get hidden door handles.
On the inside, it gets a completely redesigned dashboard with a new multifunction steering wheel. The instrument cluster gets twin pods which look sporty and a small TFT screen between them. The centre console gets a touchscreen infotainment system with HVAC control systems below it. The new hatchback gets circular air vents which look rather old-fashioned.
The next version of the most popular hatchback in India will be powered by a 1.0-litre Boosterjet petrol engine. India could get a 1.2-litre petrol and a 1.3-litre diesel engine. The engines will be mated to a 5-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed manual transmission. A CVT automatic transmission or an AMT transmission could also be offered. The Swift Sport will get a 1.4-litre petrol engine with a 6-speed manual gearbox.
The next generation of the Maruti Suzuki Swift is expected to be unveiled by the end of the year and it will go on sale in 2017. It will be followed by the Swift Sport in 2017.
