New-Gen Maruti Swift
The most noteworthy change in the upcoming model revolves around the introduction of a new powertrain, departing from the reliable K Series engine found in the existing Swift and other Maruti vehicles. The forthcoming Z Series engine comes in various versions, and the one showcased at the Japan Mobility Show is a 1.2-litre 3-cylinder hybrid engine that boasts an impressive mileage of approximately 30-35 km/l. While the power output remains similar to the current model, there’s a noticeable increase in torque, promising even more exciting low-end performance. Whether Maruti will introduce this engine in our market is yet to be determined. Nevertheless, the new Swift could signify a departure from the current K Series engine.
