Maruti Suzuki Swift

The best-selling hatchback in the country will soon be replaced by a new model with a longer and more rounded appearance. Apart from this, the new modelmay not look very different from the current offering but it is an all-new car based on a lighter, sturdier and most importantly, larger base. In terms of its technical upgrades we expect the new Swift model to be fitted with a 1.2 liter VVT petrol engine capable of developing 92 bhp, and a new 75PS 1.3-litre DDis engine that has just gone on sale in Europe.

The Euro 5 emissions turbo charged engine on the new Swift DDiS is now even smoother and more responsive than before with maximum torque of 190Nm from just 1,750rpm. We expect this car to priced around Rs 4-5.5 lakh, and available to interested buyers in India sometime in August 2011.
