The Swift wears a new face with a mesh-type front grille highlighted by a horizontal chrome stripe. The ZXi+ trims can be had with a two-tone exterior. Besides these changes, the Swift remains the same with projector headlights, LED DRLs, raised rear door handles, and 15-inch precision cut alloy wheels.
On the inside, the cabin looks familiar with a black theme and silver accents on the dashboard. The instrument cluster gets a coloured 4.2-inch TFT display and a cruise control function. The auto-foldable ORVMs are key synchronised and thanks to the new engine, the Swift now gets equipped with an idle start-stop function.

Under the hood, Swift’s proven 1.2-litre petrol engine gets a boost with the Dual Jet Dual VVT technology resulting in 90bhp and 113Nm of torque. It can be had with a five-speed manual and a five-speed AMT transmission.
