New Maruti Suzuki Swift: Interior and Features

The new Swift's interior is similar to that of the Fronx, Brezza, and Baleno.

When it comes to the dimensions, the new Swift measures 3,860mm in length, 1,735mm in width, and 1,495mm in height. The wheelbase stands at 2,450mm. The new-generation Swift's overall exterior style is comparable to the existing model since Swift's design has been one of its most distinguishing features. Nonetheless, it receives some cosmetic improvements over the previous model. For starters, it features a new all-black octagonal grille with honeycomb mesh inserts and gloss-black surrounds. It has a new clamshell bonnet, and the front and back bumpers are somewhat reprofiled.

The top-of-the-line models are equipped with 15-inch dual-tone machine-cut alloy wheels, while the lower trims will have 14-inch steel rims. For the top-tier version, the headlamp cluster appears a touch crisper with LED daytime running lights. The taillight clusters have been modified with new C-shaped internals. Moreover, the door handles have returned to their original positions on the rear door, which now features a new rear quarter glass.
