The highly anticipated arrival of the new-generation 2024 Maruti Swift in India is imminent. With numerous test mules spotted and recent launches in various international markets, including Germany, the upcoming hatchback promises more than just visual updates. This story will delve into the exciting array of new features that will distinguish the new model from its predecessor.
360-Degree Camera
In a bid to elevate the Swift’s premium appeal, Maruti has integrated a sophisticated 360-degree camera system in its international models. While this feature is expected to make its way to the India-spec model, it’s likely to be reserved for the higher variants, adding an extra layer of luxury and convenience for discerning customers.
9-Inch Touchscreen Infotainment Display
The 2024 Maruti Swift comes equipped with a larger 9-inch infotainment system, potentially sourced from the Baleno and Fronx models, surpassing the current model’s 7-inch touchscreen system. Anticipate sharper graphics, improved responsiveness, and the inclusion of wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay functionalities.
Suzuki Connect
As connected car features continue to rise in popularity, the upcoming new-generation Swift ensures it stays ahead of the curve by incorporating this technology. Accessible through Suzuki’s CONNECT app, these features will include live tracking, trip overviews, and safety notifications, all accessible with just a few taps on your smartphone, adding a new level of convenience and peace of mind to the driving experience.
Better Safety
While the current Maruti Swift might be perceived as lacking in safety features, the new-generation Swift aims to redefine safety standards. Setting a new benchmark, it will offer six airbags from its base variants, along with essential electronic aids like ABS with EBD and electronic stability control. This comprehensive safety package ensures enhanced protection for occupants, reflecting Maruti’s commitment to prioritizing driver and passenger safety.
ADAS
The latest iteration of the Maruti Swift showcases an array of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) features, including autonomous braking assist and automatic high beam assist, in global markets. While there’s speculation that ADAS features might be omitted in order to maintain competitive pricing in the Swift’s segment, sightings of test mules with radar modules and blind spot monitoring suggest that Maruti could offer ADAS features in higher trim levels of the new Swift, striking a balance between safety and affordability for potential buyers.
Expected Price Range
In addition to the aforementioned new features, the 2024 Maruti Swift brings numerous other updates, all detailed in our image gallery article. With these enhancements, prices for the Swift are expected to rise. Currently, prices range between Rs 5.99 lakh and Rs 9.03 lakh (ex-showroom). Positioned as a formidable competitor, the new Swift will challenge vehicles such as the Tata Punch, Hyundai Grand i10 Nios, and Renault Triber.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the upcoming 2024 Maruti Swift promises to be a significant leap forward in terms of features, safety, and technology. With an impressive array of updates, including larger infotainment screens, advanced safety features, and enhanced connectivity options, the new Swift is poised to redefine expectations in its segment. While prices are expected to reflect these advancements, the Swift’s reputation for reliability, affordability, and driving enjoyment will undoubtedly continue to make it a compelling choice for Indian consumers. As it gears up to compete against formidable rivals, the new Swift is poised to maintain its position as a leading contender in the hatchback market.
