Maruti Suzuki has officially teased the new 2021 Maruti Swift facelift via its social media platforms. Adding to it, the Swift facelift has also been listed on Maruti Suzuki’s official website. The new model is expected to be launched in the end of this month or in the first half of March, 2021.
The official website reveals that the 2021 Maruti Swift facelift will receive next gen K-Series Engine with Idle Start Stop system, Cruise control, AMT (Auto Gear Shift Technology) and coloured MID (Multi Information Display). The hatchback will also get the upgraded SmartPlay Studio infotainment system, which is expected to offer Android Auto and Apple CarPlay support.
The Swift facelift has already been caught testing multiple times. The hatchback will also receive some design changes along with new features. The biggest change will be made under the hood, as it will receive a new powerful engine. Also See – Next-gen Maruti Swift in 2022
The 2021 Maruti Swift will be powered by a new 1.2-litre, 4-cylinder K12N Dualjet petrol engine that also powers the Dzire sedan. This engine will come with idle start-stop technology, which should help in improving the fuel efficiency. The Dualjet engine has piston cooling jet, higher compression ratio and cooled EGR system, which reduces friction and improves the efficiency. This engine churns out a maximum power output of 90bhp and a peak torque of 113Nm.
The hatchback will continue to offer the existing 1.2L 4-cylinder naturally-aspirated engine that pushes out 82bhp and 113Nm of torque. Both engines will come with manual and AMT gearbox options. The Swift facelift with 1.2L DualJet engine is expected to deliver close to 24kmpl.
The 2021 Maruti Swift facelift is likely to receive design changes in-line with Swift on sale in Japan. The hatchback could feature a new dual-tone colour scheme – Orange and Black roof. It will have a tweaked front grille with a chrome strip, contrast black roof and new alloy wheels. Adding to it, the hatchback will have a flat-bottom steering wheel, a rear view camera and automatic headlamps.
