New Swift 2024 : Maruti Suzuki Swift Gets a Safety Boost and Stylish Update for 2024
Maruti Suzuki is launching a brand new Swift hatchback in India very soon, most likely in the second week of May. This is the fourth generation of the popular car, and it will come with a new safety feature that should help it compete against rivals like the Tata Punch, Hyundai Grand i10 Nios and Hyundai Casper.
New Swift 2024 : Maruti Suzuki has long been the king of hatchbacks in India, holding a whopping 70% market share with models like the Alto and WagonR. However, safety hasn’t always been their strongest selling point. But that could be changing with the upcoming 2024 Swift. According to rumors, the new Swift will be the first Maruti hatchback to come standard with six airbags.
This would be a significant upgrade from previous models and a major step towards improving safety without sacrificing affordability, which is a key factor for Indian car buyers. The Swift already has some standard safety features like anti-lock brakes and stability control, and six airbags would make a big addition to that package, potentially giving Maruti a strong selling point against competitors like the Tata Punch and Hyundai Grand i10 Nios.
Maruti Suzuki’s Swift hatchback remains the undisputed sales king, moving almost 200,000 units last year. However, rivals like the Tata Punch (selling over 170,000 units) are catching up, especially when it comes to safety. The Punch boasts a perfect 5-star safety rating, while the Swift scored a disappointing 1 star in global tests. Both Hyundai’s new Exter and the Grand i10 Nios also come standard with 6 airbags, another area where Swift falls short.
To stay competitive, Maruti is rumored to be equipping the 2024 Swift with 6 airbags as standard, along with existing safety features. This upgrade could significantly improve safety and make the Swift a more attractive option for budget-minded buyers concerned about safety. The improved safety features might also help it perform better in upcoming Indian safety tests (Bharat NCAP).
New Swift 2024 : Get ready for a fresh look for the popular Maruti Suzuki Swift! The 2024 update brings a redesigned exterior with a new grille, stylish LED head and taillights, and new alloy wheels. Inside, the cabin gets a makeover too, featuring a new touchscreen infotainment system, instrument cluster, and climate control unit.
