Maruti stops old Swift bookings, to launch new Swift in August

     The news of New Swift has been going around for a while. First it was March and later on postponed to July launch. Due to labour strike Maruti further postponed the new Swift launch to an unknown date. It seems to be certain that the New Swift will be here next month as Maruti dealers have stopped taking bookings for the old Swift.

     The new Swift though looks similar to the current one, has lot of changes in it. It is bigger than the current Swift and has ample rear seat space which was lacking in the current one. The exterior styling has been sleekish with the trademark water fall headlamps and tail lamps stretched further back with tapering sharp ends.


     The new Swift will be powered by the same DDiS engine which powers the current one. However the option of a turbo engine which does the duty on SX4 cannot be ruled out.


     The dashboard has been revamped and looks much functional now. The three spoke steering wheel now incorporates buttons for the music system, though it will be available only on the top end variant. Does Maruti releases a ZDi version of the new Swift, there is no official news about it as of now.
