The India-spec Swift will continue to use the 1.2-litre petrol and 1.3-litre diesel engine as the current car, though the diesel engine might be tuned to produce more power. The novelty that the 2017 Swift will offer will be automatic options with both the petrol and the diesel variant. |

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. |

Get ready to be disappointed, because the India-spec 2017 Swift will continue with the same engines as before - 1.2L petrol & 1.3L diesel - as per Autocar India's sources. No Boosterjet, no Dualjet, no SHVS. At least, not at launch. |
will be more in line with the first-generation Swift than the more ‘rounded’ current car |
What Maruti is also currently tossing around is the option of an even sportier version of the new Swift. A more driver oriented version is on the cards for certain, but Maruti still isn't sure if it wants to do a Baleno-like RS or a full-fat 138hp 1.4 Boosterjet-powered Swift Sport. |
The five-door only model will be available in the UK in June, and while there are no official details on pricing yet we expect it to start from around £9,000. |
Inside there’s a 4.2-inch LCD display to display driving information, plus a seven-inch touchscreen display for the infotainment system. Suzuki says it can be used while wearing gloves, and features a 3D sat-nav as well as Android Auto and Apple CarPlay |
The petrol-only engine line-up includes a 110bhp BoosterJet 1.0-litre 3cyl turbo, and an 89bhp 1.2-litre engine. A mild hybrid system is available with the 1.0-litre engine too, which lowers emissions to 97g/km. |
A four-wheel drive model will be available with the 1.2-litre petrol, and higher-grade models will get safety kit such as adaptive cruise control, auto emergency braking and a brake-boosting system for emergencies. |
The new Swift is 5 per cent more fuel-efficient than the existing version. "We achieved this by developing a completely new super light weight body that weighs only 840 kgs, which is 120 kg lighter than the current model," |

Some info on the Swift. Swift at 840 kgs in Europe will mean even lesser when it lands in India (once a bunch of the gadgetry is removed). 840 kgs! Tin can, anyone? http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/a...w/57520450.cms |
