The Swift Hatchback is scheduled only for 2018 1st quarter at the earliest. As per birdies in Maruti, the Swift will be made both at Manesar and Gujrat like Baleno. And it will be Nexa probably.

Launch during the 2018 Auto Expo? I doubt if the Swift will go to Nexa, the Swift Sport will in all likelihood go to Nexa, but the regular Swift, I don't think so.

I do not details but there is no Sports version scheduled for India.At least not within 2018. I think entire global line up will go to Nexa. India specific or Indo- Japanese models will be Non NEXA.

2017 Swift Hybrid RS-4WD Drive

Quote:
The interior is much better designed and built than the Vitara, which was Suzuki's previous most impressive car. The little Swift also comes with a lot of safety gadgets, though with the cautious way Japanese people drive, crashing might never happen. The hybrid is supposedly capable of doing 3.65 liters per 100 kilometers or 77.3 mpg UK, but only if you avoid spirited driving.
Quote:
the trim level offers some slightly sportier styling and 185/55 R16 wheels and tires. RS features a honeycomb grille with a red stripe down the middle. The new bumper also has a spoiler effect, being accompanied by side skirts and a new rear bumper.There are other engines available besides the hybrid. The base unit is an inline-4 DOHC 1.2-liter producing 91 PS and 118 Nm of torque at 4,400 rpm. Until the Swift Sport debuts, the one we're most impressed with is a 1-liter turbo kicking out 102 PS and 150 Nm of torque



Quote:
we are impressed with pretty much everything. It might no be the fastest car in the world, but it's certainly quieter than a Mazda2, if you're into that kind of thing

With 6 speed AT that point, will accelerate quickly and powerfully for accelerator pedal. Not be obtained with the naturally aspirated engine + CVT is this agility. However, sound is three-cylinder and vibration less. It would be controversial views is whether or not this is forgivable.

a four-cylinder HYBRID RS have been quiet and smooth. This is for everyone in the sense that it could not compete with Turbo, this is combined with auxiliary transmission with CVT and is fast and fun.
As long as the suspension is in the RS series has given European tuned shock absorbers, tires, power steering, and maybe that's why driving in urban ride is considerably stiffer.

The suspension is pretty good. Very easy to ride, so have a snatch of clutch and shift feel often uncomfortable even less likely. Does not say this specifically for running, with your hands, but neither would say either 5-speed gear ratios and have set up a wide and driving down the road and felt very good unit. Also in the RS in common and there should be a set of matching even the lightest weight MT car is somewhat good
That new swift, felt said that being assured extremely seriously as Suzuki's leading global compact car. Of course, the latest model is equipped with safety and drive assist equipment efforts are being made, plays a great evolution at all.

re: The 2018 next-gen Maruti Swift - Now Launched!

That's an aggressive looking hatchback. Nice proportions too! The Swift's competitors, if they weren't afraid till now, should be dreading this one's arrival on our shores. Only gripe that I can see are the C-pillar door handles (Beat-like).

It is odd that suddenly maruti is pushing every new car to Nexa, only Brezza went to the the normal showroom recently if i am correct. They have plans to pull ciaz also, guess this will impact the morale of the normal dealers.

Swift by all means should go to Normal showrooms, it is the bread and butter car for non nexa dealers along with Alto.

re: The 2018 next-gen Maruti Swift - Now Launched!

Just test drove the Swift 2017 in Nagoya. It's a Swift all right. Handles like one but doesn't have the novelty factor of 1st gen Swift. The dualjet motor of Japan will not make it to India but is a lot quieter. I drove the Boosterjet version as well, followed by the Baleno Boosterjet. Didn't like either. Noisy as hell, similar to a diesel. I hate diesels anyway, do we can put that down to bias.
Otherwise, it's a Swift and a real shame, we won't get the advanced gadgets in India, especially the radar-laser based AEB.
