The all-new Maruti Suzuki Swift 2025 upholds the legacy of being one of the favourite hatchback cars of India. This all new model generation comes with a sharper design, more efficient engine, premium features and better safety – all at a low price.
Exterior Styling: Sporty Evolution
The Swift still looks like a typical hatchback, but with a little more wow factor. Up front, the car welcomes enthusiasts with aggressive honeycomb mesh grille positioned between ultra-sleek LED projector headlamps with DRLs on either side. The hood has been raised up a bit to satisfy pedestrian-safety regulations.
Still from the side we have the floating roof, though it is now punctuated by C-shaped tail lamps, new alloy wheels and an integrated rear spoiler. Rear door handles have shifted from the C-pillar to the more traditional position for better convenience, to be exact.
Inside & Infotainment: Urban Luxury Evolved
Inside, the cabin seems modern and comfortable. The two-row Sepia Tan interior gets a twin-tone dashboard, soft touch materials with an updated 9-inch floating SmartPlay Pro+ touchscreen with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Higher versions get a flat-bottom steering wheel, rear AC vents, push-button start and cruise control. The back seat now gets a center armrest and better trimmings and the boot is still a practical 268 litres.
Powertrain & Driving Efficiency
“The new 1.2L 3 cylinder Z-Series engine is to replace the older K-Series engine. It produces 82 PS and 112 Nm – less than previous but cleaner by a mile. Maruti claims impressive mileage:
- Manual transmission: 24.8 kmpl
- AMT transmission: 25.75 kmpl
- And there’s a CNG model on offer, which delivers about 32.85 km/kg of mileage, for those who swear by efficiency.
Advanced Safety for All
Safety is a key upgrade point. The Swift 2025 will be equipped with six airbags in higher trims along with ABS with EBD, ESP (Electronic Stability Program), Hill Hold Assist, rear parking Camera with sensors etc. ISOFIX mounts and speed-dependent auto door locks offer even more reassurance.
Variants & Pricing Snapshot
You can start off with the LXi (manual) at ₹6.49 lakh and go all the way to the top-end ZXi+ at around ₹9.59 lakh, slightly more or less depending on whether you choose an AMT or a manual. Mid-spec cars also gets ESP and hill-hold to get you access to key safety tech even at half-way-up the range.
Mileage Champion in the Segment
The Swift 2025, with its near-26 kmpl ARAI rating, sets a new standard in fuel efficiency for its class, taking on the likes of WagonR and Alto. In June 2025 it also emerged as the best-selling hatch back in India, with more than 13,200 units sold, It beat competitors like Baleno, Tiago, and i20 as well.
Final Verdict

Hot in looks, fuel-efficient, smartly upgraded and safer, the car is quite a heady choice for less than ₹10 lakh. A go for broke blend of lightweight fun, cheeky style, safety and value for money means the Swift has become a firm small-car favourite whether you’re a city commuter, a young professional or buying your first ‘grown-up’ car.
