New Maruti Swift 2025 Launched : Maruti Suzuki has unveiled the 2025 edition of its iconic Swift — a thoroughly refreshed hatchback that aims to strengthen its status as India’s most popular small car. With sharper styling, greater fuel efficiency, enhanced safety features, and modern tech upgrades, the new Swift seeks to deliver right where Indian buyers value it most.
Striking Design & Build
Underpinned by Maruti Suzuki’s updated Heartect platform (5th‑generation), the 2025 Swift gets a bolder, more aerodynamic body that is 4–5% sleeker than before. The front fascia features a hexagonal, honeycomb‑mesh grille; LED projector headlamps with DRLs; dual‑tone alloy wheels; and a sporty rear spoiler. Dimensions are compact—about 3,860 mm length, 1,735 mm width, 1,520 mm height, with a 2,450 mm wheelbase—making it agile in city traffic.
Inside, the cabin has been upgraded with a dual‑tone dashboard, soft‑touch surfaces, and ambient trims. A 9″ floating infotainment system powered by SmartPlay Pro+ (supporting wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto), rear AC vents, a centre armrest, and boosted storage all add to its appeal.
Mileage Claims: Reality vs Marketing
- Maruti claims the new 1.2L, 3‑cylinder Z12E engine paired with AMT delivers up to 35 km per litre, a figure certainly eye‑catching, and touted as one of the highest in the petrol hatchback space. That figure appears to be based on promotional messaging or idealized test conditions.
- However, ARAI‑certified mileage figures are more conservative and credible: 24.80 km/l with the manual gearbox and around 25.75 km/l with AMT on petrol variants. Independent owners on forums and real‑world testers typically report figures of 22–24 km/l in normal city use, despite being happy overall with fuel economy.
- In other words, while the 35 km/l figure makes for sensational headlines, buyers should expect closer to 25 km/l in everyday driving.
Performance and Powertrain
The new Z‑Series Z12E petrol engine displaces 1,197 cc and produces 82 PS and 112 Nm torque. It’s offered with a 5‑speed manual or a 5‑speed AMT in petrol variants, and a manual‑only CNG option arriving later in 2025. The AMT transmission includes idle start/stop and hill‑hold assist for efficiency and drive convenience.
A Mild‑Hybrid or strong Hybrid Swift is expected in future updates, possibly delivering up to 40 km per litre, but that version isn’t part of the 2025 launch slate.
Safety & Tech Features
India’s safety norms are tightening—and the Swift is keeping pace. For the first time, six airbags (front, side, and curtain) become standard in higher variants, along with electronic stability programme (ESP), hill‑hold assist, ABS with EBD, rear parking camera with dynamic guidelines, and ISOFIX child seat mounts throughout trim levels. The new platform also improves body rigidity to help meet Global or Bharat NCAP standards .
Tech highlights include OTA (Over‑The‑Air) updates for infotainment, connected‑car features via Suzuki Connect, voice assistants in multiple languages, push‑button start, automatic climate control (in higher variants), and cruise‑control from mid‑range trims upwards .
Price & EMI Offers
- The Swift 2025 kicks off at ₹6.49 lakh (ex‑showroom Delhi) for the LXi variant and goes up to ₹9.64 lakh for the top ZXi Plus Dual‑Tone AMT version . On‑road prices translate to ₹7.2–10.8 lakh in Delhi, depending on variant, colour, and dealership offers .
- Notably, Maruti is promoting financing plans starting at just ₹80,000 as down payment, with monthly EMIs around ₹7,000–10,500, depending on tenure and variant—making Swift accessible to middle‑class families and first‑time buyers .
Why It Still Rules
Despite strong competition from Tata Tiago, Hyundai Grand i10 Nios, and others, the Swift continues to hold its edge due to brand trust, resale value, mileage, and robust dealer/service network. It sold over 17,000 units in a single month in early 2025, remaining one of India’s best‑selling hatchbacks
In summary, the 2025 Maruti Swift retains its winning formula with refreshed design, improved tech, stronger safety, and ARAI‑backed mileage around 25 km/l. Although the 35 km/l claim is more headline than reality, the new Swift remains a compelling package—especially with easy EMI options from ₹7,000/month. For buyers seeking a stylish, fuel–efficient, and affordable hatchback, the latest Swift continues to set the benchmark.
