The exterior sports blackened B-Pillar and fog lamps. For safety, the special edition variants will get smart warning indicators, engine immobilizer and child safety lock.

Mechanically, the limited edition Swift DLX remains the same, it continues to be offered in petrol and diesel engine options. The petrol variant gets a 1.2-litre engine which puts out 83bhp of power and 115Nm of torque, while the 1.3-litre DDiS engine puts out 74bhp of power and 190Nm of peak torque. The company will be introducing the next-gen Swift in India sometime later next year, while the international markets might get it early in the last quarter this year.
