Maruti Suzuki has taken the wraps off the next-gen Swift concept in Japan. It’s expected to break cover on our shores sometime in 2024. And one of the biggest news for the upcoming hatchback is underneath the hood as it will get a brand new engine, which has been revealed in Japan.

The brand new powertrain in question is the carmaker’s new 1.2-litre Z12E three-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine that will replace the existing 89PS 1.2-litre four-cylinder unit.  We suspect the new naturally aspirated engine is expected to retain the power numbers of the outgoing engine while delivering better fuel economy. It will also get mild-hybrid technology.

In Japan, this engine will be paired with a CVT gearbox. However, for India, you can expect it to come with a manual transmission. It remains to be seen if Maruti equips the new Swift with the CVT or an AMT option.
