The new 4th Gen Maruti Swift is expected to launch a week from now, and prior to that, new information on the hatchback has been leaked which provides glimpses of features, engine details and fuel efficiency. Although a lot of details about the Swift were known thanks to its debut months ago, the leaked brochure images provide some information such as the power & torque output of the new Z series engine along with the safety features and mileage of the vehicle.
So, as we reported earlier, the new Z series engine which will replace the K-series engine on the new Swift, will be a more fuel-efficient but less powerful unit. The brochure leak confirms this and the new model has a claimed mileage of 25.27 kmpl which is up from the outgoing model by 3 kmpl. However, it is yet to be seen whether this figure is for manual or automatic transmission. Additionally, its also not confirmed yet whether the new Swift will get a Torque convertor auto or AMT automatic like the outgoing model.
Another detail confirmed is the output figures of the new 3-pot naturally aspirated engine which is confirmed to generate 82 hp and 112 Nm of Peak Torque, an 8 hp and 1 Nm down when compared to the famous K series engine. It will be interesting to see how the figures affect the performance of the hatchback in the real world.
Last but not least, the leaked brochure also confirms that the new Swift will carry more features than the outgoing Swift. The top variant will feature a 9-inch infotainment touchscreen system, a wireless charger, rear AC vents, an Arkymys sound system and C-type USB ports. The key highlight in the features upgrade is the safety kit on the new Swift which includes 6 airbags as standard. Moreover, the higher trims will also get LED fog lamps. The Japan-spec Swift recently scored 4 stars at the JNCAP but that model is equipped with premium features like ADAS which the India-bound doesn’t get, so only time will tell how the Safe is the new India-spec Swift.
