Camouflaged test mules have been seen testing on Indian roads right after the latest Swift debuted in Japan in late 2023. It has so far been launched in Japan, the UK, and selected European markets, with India set to be among the foremost markets to welcome the new Swift. The new Swift rides on the familiar Suzuki ‘HEARTECT’ platform which is light and rigid. Suzuki says there was a comprehensive overhaul of the underbody’s structure and component layout during development resulting in the adoption of a highly rigid frame that enhances collision safety.
Under the hood, the new Swift for the Indian market will get a new 1.2L engine which has been thoroughly revised for the latest model to produce better performance figures compared to the 1.2L engine in the outgoing model. With 82 hp of power and 112Nm of torque, the new Swift will have its 0-100 km/h acceleration time improved by 5% to 12.5 seconds for the manual model and 11.9 seconds for the CVT variant.
