Expectations from the Fourth-generation Maruti Swift

– *It may be raining SUVs everywhere but there’s one car among the crop that’s always managed to stir up the pot whenever it is in the news and that’s the Maruti Suzuki Swift.*

– *There will be a new-generation of the popular hatchback for India next month; here is everything that you can expect from the fourth-generation Maruti Swift.*

Design highlights

– <strong>Modern</strong> and <i>sleek</i> design elements

User-friendly interface

– <i>Responsive</i> web design for mobile compatibility

<h2>Key Features</h2>

– <strong>Customizable</strong> <i>themes</i> and <i>layouts</i>

Integrated social media sharing buttons

Car Evolution

Despite being termed an all-new generation for the hatchback, the car looks more like an evolution of the outgoing model. You get the same silhouette but with a new face that's dominated by a new grille and shape for the *headlamps*.

Changes in the Design:

In profile, the rear door handles have moved back to the door and there's a new design for the alloy wheels. The rear has become little chunkier thanks to a larger rear bumper and smaller tail lamps that now have a more prominent *C-shape design*.

– Rear door handles moved back to the door

– New design for the alloy wheels

– Larger rear bumper

– Smaller tail lamps with a more prominent C-shape design

The interior is an all-black affair with a new vertically stacked dashboard, HD quality 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system and bigger full-colour MID. Suzuki has also revised the design for the climate control interface with the dials making way for toggle switches.

Description

The second row is functional more than anything else and you get features like bottle holders in both the doors, headrests for the middle rear occupant and the single cup holder between both the front seats.

Car Specifications

The *car* has grown in overall length by 20mm but the wheelbase has no changed and you are expected to get similar levels of space as compared to the current model. This means the 268-litre boot will return unchanged.

– Overall length increased by 20mm

– Wheelbase remains the same

Internationally, in addition to the usual like climate control, connected car technology, LED light package, touchscreen infotainment with wireless phone mirroring, height adjustment for the driver's seat, Suzuki has also included level-2 ADAS for the first time to comply with new safety regulations. In fact, this level-2 ADAS has earned it a 5/5 score in 6 out 7 tests conducted as a part of the JNCAP.

Let’s be realistic, the level-2 ADAS is not expected to come with the Indian-spec Swift as it would hike the price of the car significantly and also at the time of making this video, Maruti had not introduced ADAS for either the Grand Vitara or the Invicto, its flagship products.

Powertrains

The <i>powertrains</i> of modern vehicles are becoming more efficient and environmentally friendly. With advancements in technology, manufacturers are constantly improving the performance and fuel efficiency of engines.

<strong>Electric vehicles (EVs)</strong> are gaining popularity due to their zero-emission operations and lower maintenance costs. These vehicles are powered by electric motors and battery packs, providing a clean alternative to traditional gasoline vehicles.

<ul>

<li><strong>Hybrid vehicles (HEVs)</strong> combine an internal combustion engine with an electric motor to improve fuel efficiency. These vehicles can run on both gasoline and electricity, allowing for better mileage and reduced emissions.</li>

<li><strong>Plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs)</strong> offer the flexibility of running on electric power alone or using a gasoline engine for longer trips. Drivers have the option to recharge the battery by plugging into an external power source.</li>

<li><strong>Fuel cell vehicles (FCVs)</strong> use hydrogen gas to generate electricity, powering an electric motor to drive the vehicle. The only emission from these vehicles is water vapor, making them a truly green option for sustainable transportation.</li>

</ul>

In conclusion, advancements in <i>powertrains</i> are revolutionizing the automotive industry, providing consumers with more options for efficient and eco-friendly vehicles.

Globally

– There is a new *mild-hybrid three-cylinder petrol engine* mated to either a *five-speed manual* or a *CVT*.

India

– However, for India, we expect the 1.2-litre K12C motor to continue unchanged.

– This engine produces *88bhp/113Nm* and can be had with either a *five-speed MT* or a *five-speed AMT*.

– The same engine can also be had in a CNG guise with an output of *76bhp/98.5Nm* and only available with a *five-speed manual*.
