March 08, 2017: Suzuki has showcased the third-generation Swift at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show. As seen in its home country, Japan, debut last December, the all-new Swift retains the design of its predecessors and shares its platform with the Baleno and the Ignis. It becomes Suzuki's first car to get the SHVS mild-hybrid tech with the 1.0-litre Boosterjet turbo petrol motor. And this engine could become the debutant petrol motor from Maruti Suzuki to get the SHVS mild-hybrid tech in India. Speaking of its Indian debut, the new Swift is expected to launch at the 2018 Indian Auto Expo early next year. However, Maruti has unveiled the Swift-based compact sedan, DZire, while announcing a May 16 launch.
Speaking of the current model, Maruti Suzuki had introduced the facelifted second-generation Swift in October 2014. The updated Maruti Swift came with subtle aesthetic improvements along with a few additional features – such as push-button engine start-stop, reverse parking sensors, electronically foldable outside rear-view mirrors, Bluetooth phone integration, and others – over the previous version. And it also came with a new upholstery. Mechanically, the Swift’s fuel efficiency was improved by 10 per cent with the mid-life update and, to deliver it, its existing ( 1.2-litre petrol and 1.3-litre diesel) engines were tweaked slightly.
OK friends thank you
