Showcased as Suzuki World Car Concept back at the 2002 Paris Motor Show, the car which is popularly known as Swift around the globe is all-set to enter a new generation. Currently in its third generation, images of 2017 Maruti Suzuki Swift (fourth generation) leaked online last week. These images were reportedly clicked at a dealer conference in Europe recently.
These images revealed the interiors and exteriors of new generation Suzuki Swift in detail. Based on these leaked images, our rendering artist – Pratyush Rout has created the front quarter of new 2017 Maruti Suzuki Swift in hi-res images.
Expected to make global debut at the 2016 Paris Motor Show later this year, new-gen Swift will be lighter, efficient and more powerful as compared to the existing Swift. The new 1.0 liter 3-cyl BoosterJet engine from Suzuki, which is rated at 110 PS and 170 Nm will also be offered with new Swift.

For eg, the front now gets a hexagonal honeycomb grille, LED DRLs with projector headlights, new alloys, rear door handles like that of Chevrolet Beat. Interiors get a new dashboard with colourful accents, adding to the car’s sporty character. It also gets flat bottom three-spoke steering wheel with new instrument panel with ambient lights, smartplay infotainment touchscreen system, etc.
European launch of the Swift could take place post its debut in Paris, while in India, the new 2017 Swift can be expected by March 2017.

Speaking about price, new-gen Maruti Swift will be priced in the same range as current Swift, which is INR 5-8 lakh on road.
