New Makeover for the Swift

The Swift could be credited with starting the premium hatch revolution in India, and is now due for an upgrade.

After the successful launch of A-Star and Ritz, Maruti Suzuki India is going to launch a new 2011 model of its popular hatchback Swift in Indian Market. Maruti's all-new lighter, longer and more spacious 2011 New Swift went on sale in the UK in September promising better dynamics, increased performance and improved CO2 emissions and economy.

The new car may not look very different from the current offering and will come with the same engines, but it is an all-new car based on a lighter, sturdier and most importantly, larger base.


Expected Price :: Rs. 5,00,000 (May Vary)



What's New in 2011 New Maruti Swift
- All new bigger and better looking head lamps
- All new peeled back tail lamps
- New round shaped fog lights
- New steering wheel with music/telephone controls
- New centre console with dash integrated music system
- New design for wheel covers/16" alloy wheels for top variants
- New front and rear bumpers and New front grille
- Automatic climate control system
- Engine start/stop button (not confirmed for Indian market)
- New instrument cluster finished in silver and black.

The new hatch gets a slight smaller, but more powerful 1.2-liter inline-four that generates 93 horsepower thanks to variable valve timing on both the intake and exhaust cams. The manual transmission model now has a rating of 47 miles per gallon (U.S.) on the EU combined cycle with CO2 emissions of 116 grams per kilometer. That's 6.5 mpg better than the outgoing model. 

 



Expect more space and an even more exciting drive.

The company is aiming at maintaining its sporty image owing to its motorcycles that command a good market share. Maruti Suzuki Kizashi means “coming up of something great” which is in line with the company’s aspirations. The sedan is a product of in-house engineering and designing by Suzuki. The Kizashi has got the right amounts of aggression and sportiness built into it. It has some strong features, like a pronounced waistline, nicely fitting 215/55 R17 rubber and twin exhausts with stainless steel covers. It also comes with these good-looking alloy wheels that look best when it’s on the move. The bootlid with the inbuilt spoiler is a bit in-your-face, but if millions of Indians could get used to the Dzire’s boot, then this is nothing. In terms of dimensions, the Kizashi is longer and wider than the Toyota Corolla and the Honda Civic, but its wheelbase is closer to the Civic’s th...
