Maruti Suzuki has unveiled the all-new 2025 Swift, a fourth-generation hatchback that blends sporty style with modern technology. The updated Swift sports a bold, aerodynamic exterior with a distinctive dual-tone color scheme – for example, Sizzling Red, Luster Blue, or Pearl White tops paired with a Midnight Black roof. Other design highlights include boomerang-shaped LED daytime running lights, smoked LED projector headlamps, and a glossy black grille. The new Swift rolls on 15-inch precision-cut alloy wheels and features C-shaped LED tail lamps, giving it an athletic profile.
Dual-Tone Paint Options: The Swift offers several eye-catching dual-tone combinations. In addition to mono colors like Magma Grey and Splendid Silver, Maruti now offers three dual-tone schemes – Sizzling Red, Luster Blue, and Arctic White, all with a contrasting Midnight Black roof.
Sporty Details: A “wrap-around” character line runs along the sides for added dynamism, and 15-inch two-tone alloys accent the aggressive stance. At the rear, the LED combination lamps have a sharp signature, and the bodywork has been sculpted for a more modern look.
Overall, the Epic New Swift’s exterior maintains the familiar compact silhouette of its predecessors but with sharper lines and a more premium feel – a big step up in style for the popular hatchback.
Interior & Features
The interior is redesigned around a driver-centric dashboard with a floating-center layout. The interior is given sporty accents with satin silver trim and a flat-bottomed steering wheel.
Maruti has upgraded the infotainment and convenience features to meet modern expectations:
- 9-Inch SmartPlay Pro+ Infotainment: The centerpiece of the dashboard is a 22.86 cm (9-inch) SmartPlay Pro+ touchscreen display supporting wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and runs Maruti’s latest interface. An Arkamys surround-sound audio system is standard, providing rich sound through six speakers. The screen is responsive and easy to read, and it handles smartphone mirroring without lag.
- Wireless Charging & Connectivity: Swift now offers a wireless phone charger for the front seats, and both A-type and C-type USB ports (front and rear) for fast charging and data. Rear passengers benefit from their own AC vents, and the 60:40-split rear seats offer more flexibility for luggage.
- Convenience Tech: Cruise control, keyless entry, and an auto-dimming IRVM are included. The new Swift also comes with Suzuki Connect (Maruti’s connected-car platform) with voice command support, allowing features like remote lock/unlock and vehicle status via a smartphone app.
These interior upgrades – especially the large touchscreen and added connectivity – make the 2025 Swift feel far more premium and user-friendly than before.
Safety Enhancements
Safety has been significantly beefed up in the new Swift. Six airbags are now standard on every variant, a rare commitment in this segment. Along with dual front airbags, the Swift includes side and curtain airbags to protect passengers from all sides. In addition, the hatchback comes with:
- Advanced Brake and Stability Aids: Electronic Stability Program (ESP) with brake assist, plus Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) are standard, helping prevent skids and keeping the car stable during sudden braking.
- Hill Hold Assist: To prevent rollback on slopes, hill-hold assist is included as standard equipment.
- Seatbelt Reminders and ISOFIX: All seats have 3-point seatbelts with reminders, and child-seat ISOFIX anchors are provided for rear seats.
- Parking Aids: The Swift now comes with a wide-view rear camera and rear parking sensors to help drivers maneuver in tight spots.
- Additional Safety: Features like speed-sensitive auto door locks, a high-speed alert system, and a day/night adjustable IRVM are included to enhance occupant security.
While Maruti Suzuki has not added complete ADAS suites (like lane-keep assist or automatic emergency braking) to the Swift yet, the significant passive safety upgrade – especially the six airbags and stability aids – underscores Maruti’s focus on improved occupant protection.
Performance & Fuel Efficiency
Under the hood, the new Swift carries over a peppy 1.2-liter three-cylinder Z-Series petrol engine. This modern unit produces about 82 PS of power and 112 Nm of torque, which is slightly less than the outgoing model but tuned for better efficiency. Maruti’s engineers say the car’s city driving feel is improved thanks to strong low-end torque, making daily commutes effortless.
Fuel economy is a highlight: Maruti claims the Swift is now the segment’s most fuel-efficient hatchback. Thanks to engine tweaks (including an electric water pump and air-fuel sensor), the Swift delivers up to 25.75 km/l in ARAI testing, roughly 14% better than the previous generation. Real-world drivers can typically expect around 24–25 km/l for the manual petrol or 25–26 km/l for the AMT version. (There’s also a factory-fitted CNG variant with claimed efficiency over 32 km/kg, if low running costs are a priority.)
- Transmission Options: The Swift is offered with a smooth 5-speed manual or a 5-speed AMT (Automated Manual) transmission. An in-house hydraulic clutch mechanism makes gear shifts in the manual version exceptionally light and easy.
- Driving Dynamics: The car retains Swift’s fun handling – it’s light on its feet around town and eager to rev. Steering is sharp and the ride remains compliant for everyday driving. Overall, expect a sprightly performance with the benefit of class-leading mileage.
Pricing and Variants
The 2025 Maruti Swift is attractively priced to compete in the premium hatchback segment. In India, ex-showroom prices start at around ₹6.49 lakh for the base petrol model and go up to roughly ₹9.64 lakh for the top-end AMT variant. (Exact pricing may vary slightly by city and after account for any new features.) Maruti typically offers the Swift in multiple trims, with even the mid-range variants getting most of the key features like the 9-inch touchscreen and safety gear. Buyers can expect:
- Variants: The base Swift LXI starts the range (6.49 L), followed by VXI, ZXI, and top ZXI+ (which may include the dual-tone variants and fully loaded features).
- Subscription Option: For those who prefer a hassle-free plan, Maruti Suzuki also offers a subscription program. The Swift can be leased monthly (inclusive of maintenance and insurance) for about ₹17,436 per month at launch.
Overall, the updated Swift gives excellent value for money, packing in modern tech, improved safety, and strong efficiency in a stylish package.
Conclusion
With the launch of the all-new Swift 2025, Maruti Suzuki has truly redefined what a small hatchback can offer. The car’s sporty dual-tone exterior makes it stand out, while the feature-rich interior – especially the big 9-inch SmartPlay Pro+ infotainment system and wireless connectivity – brings a premium feel. Safety has been stepped up significantly with six airbags and stability aids as standard, giving buyers added peace of mind. At the same time, Maruti has managed to improve fuel efficiency (up to 25.75 km/l) without sacrificing everyday performance.
For hatchback enthusiasts and city commuters alike, the new Swift 2025 represents a compelling package: it’s fun to drive, easy on fuel, and packed with modern amenities at an affordable price. As Maruti Suzuki celebrates 20 years of the Swift brand, this fourth-generation model shows that the “epic” Swift is still very much ahead of its time.
