Swift Type 1 and Type 2

Vajo · 13th January 2010, 11:01

bhpians.

While going through the Swift User manual, realised that there are two types - Type 1 and Type 2 Swift cars.

Does any one has any idea what is the difference and how to find out whihc Type the car is.

Its easy to distinguish Type2 from the rear - the bumper has two tapered lines, and the refreshed tail lamps.

There is a slight change in the front bumper and grill design too.

In they Type 2 swift

Instrument cluster backlight is white. (orange in type 1)
Chrome surrounds for speedometer and tachometer dials.
Clock has become a standard in all models.(not sure)

Not so. Type 1 or Type 2 doesnt matter, If its either an VXi/ZXi/VDi, u get the chrome surrounds for the speedo.

i too have observed some difference in the tail light clusters - they are clear ones in type 2 .

However i am also looking for any major changes in look , technology and accessories that are part of Out-of-box car

The grille is different and so are the wheel cups(different designs) in the Type 1 and Type 2. The Type 2 sports a honeycomb grille with larger holes for better air passage when compared to type 1. Type 2 is a lot better looking, despite the fact that the changes are very minimal.

What happen to the special edition "GLAM". I saw only 2 cars in Bangalore till now. No one is buying that?

Vajo · 13th January 2010, 15:19

I believe GLAM was a limited edition, while I was scouring the dealers, one dealer showed me the gloden Brown ( actually looked Black) telling its available immdediatly , but I stuck to my Diesel .Am not too sure Maruti would continue selling something which is available in only two colors.

IIRC, Type 2 has got dual horns while Type 1 had only one.

Hey what I guess is that Type-1 is the very first model of swift and if you have observed carefully, Type-2 comes with refreshed tail lamps.

Clock again is model dependent, base model LDI, LXI do not sport clock.

Whether any upgrade Swift is going to Launch in near future other than K series engine upgrade?
Heard from some folks that new swift is in the pipeline.

Next Gen Swift will be showcased at Paris Auto Show ( Mid 2010). So there are chances we might see it sometime next year. Multijet 2 in it would make it more tempting!!

Is there any difference in Engine or in the tuning ? I knwo that the BHP/torque has not changed !

I actually liked the type 1 taillights better. For once, clear lens didn't look quite as good.
