Power on the new generation Maruti Suzuki Swift comes from the 1.2-litre petrol motor tuned for 82 bhp and 1.3-litre diesel that churns out 74 bhp. The base trim is only offered with a 5-speed manual while the AMT unit is available on the mid-level V and range-topping Z trims.

The Maruti Suzuki Swift remains one of the top-selling cars for the automaker and one of the top three cars to be sold in the country, behind the Alto and Dzire. The company averages about 19,000 units of the Swift every month and the new limited edition version is likely to bring more potential customers to showrooms. The Swift takes on the Hyundai Grand i10, Ford Figo, Toyota Etios, Mahindra KUV100 and the likes.
