Maruti Suzuki plans to give a makeover to its popular hatchback the Swift. The new Swift will be longer and wider, the wheelbase is increased by 50mm and the overall length by 90mm,which makes it more spacious than its predecessor.
The new Swift has got a 1.2-litre petrol engine which is equipped with Dual VVT (Variable intake and exhaust valve timing) and produces 94PS at 6,000rpm. The improved torque is developed to 118Nm at 4,800rpm. The model is also available in D13A 1.3-litre diesel engine.
The car would give a tough competition to the Hyundai i20,the Skoda Fabia, Honda Jazz,VW Polo and the Fiat Grande Punto.
The car is expected to be launched by the end of this year, and would be priced around 5 lakh for the base model.
Will try to bring up more information about the car.
