Greater Noida: The country’s largest carmaker Maruti Suzuki
India (MSI) today launched the all-new version of its popular hatchback
Swift at an introductory price ranging between Rs 4.99 lakh and Rs 8.29
lakh (ex-showroom Delhi).
The company had last month opened bookings for the new Swift which is based on Suzuki’s 5th generation HEARTECT platform.
The model will be available in both petrol and diesel engine
options. While the petrol variant will have a 1.2 litre engine, the
diesel option is powered by a 1.3 litre engine, the company said.
Launched in India in 2005, Swift has sold over 1.8 million units, he added.
The new version is also wider and has longer wheel base with more
cabin space, headroom and luggage space than the outgoing generation
car.
The company said the all-new Swift is 40 mm wider with 20 mm
longer wheel base. Equipped with advanced safety features such as dual
airbags and ABS with EBD, among others as standard, the new Swift meets
the advanced safety norms ahead of schedule.
