India's favorite hatchback just got a major upgrade! The 2025 Maruti Swift has officially debuted with a bold new design, hybrid technology, enhanced features, and improved safety. Designed for city drives and occasional highway sprints, the new Swift combines practicality with modern appeal. Let's take a full look at what the next-gen Swift brings to the table for Indian car buyers.
New Sporty Design & Bold Styling
The 2025 Swift carries forward its iconic silhouette but with sharper lines and a more aggressive front fascia. The front grille has been redesigned with a honeycomb mesh pattern, flanked by new LED projector headlamps and sleek DRLs. The bumper now has larger air intakes, and the rear sees LED tail lights with a connected light bar and a roof-mounted spoiler for a sporty touch.
Updated Platform & Hybrid Powertrain
Built on Suzuki’s Heartect platform, the new Swift is lighter yet stronger, offering better safety and fuel efficiency. Under the hood, the biggest highlight is the introduction of a new 1.2L 3-cylinder Z-series petrol engine mated with a mild-hybrid system. This new powertrain setup promises a peppier drive and excellent mileage figures—ideal for both city and highway users.
- Engine: 1.2L Z-Series Petrol + Mild Hybrid
- Transmission: 5-Speed Manual / AMT
- Fuel Efficiency: 24–26 km/l (claimed)
- Platform: Heartect

Interior & Cabin Experience
The 2025 Maruti Swift brings a premium touch to the hatchback segment with its updated interiors. It now features a dual-tone dashboard with soft-touch materials, a flat-bottom steering wheel, and redesigned AC vents. A 9-inch floating touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay dominates the center console.
