The Japanese automaker has begun testing the new-generation Suzuki Swift in Europe. We have already seen multiple spy images revealing some of its interesting design and feature details. The hatchback’s all-new model is likely to make global debut by the end of 2022 and its India launch might take place in early 2023. Here, it could make its first public appearance at the next year’s Auto Expo in January. The 2023 Maruti Swift is expected to come with significantly improved design and interior along with mild hybrid powertrain. Here’re 5 major details we know so far about the all-new Swift.
New, Lighter Platform
The all-new Maruti Swift is likely to underpin Suzuki’s lightweight Heartect platform that uses Ultra & Advanced High Strength Steels. The carmaker claims that the architecture is capable to absorb and distribute impact energy across the vehicle structure during a collision and ensures better protection. It also enhances overall driving performance and mileage of the car.
Hybrid Tech
Rumour has it that the new 2023 Maruti Swift could get mild hybrid tech with the 1.2L K12N Dualjet petrol engine. The gasoline unit makes a top power of 89bhp and 113Nm of torque. It can be had with either manual or automatic gearbox. Read – New Maruti Grand Vitara SUV Prices Leaked
