Scoop! Maruti starts work on next-gen Swift

The fourth-generation Swift (codenamed: YED) is expected to be launched in 2024.

There have been reports suggesting that the fourth-generation Suzuki Swift will arrive on the global scene in 2022. We have now been told that Maruti has started work on the car for India.

The fourth-generation Swift (codenamed: YED) is expected to be launched in 2024. Maruti is said to have floated a Request for Quotation (RFQ) to potential suppliers.

Reports suggest that the new Swift will be based on an advanced version of the Heartect platform. As is with every product, the new generation will bring in refreshed styling and an updated interior.

There is talk of the new Swift getting a 1.2-litre petrol hybrid powertrain in addition to a 1.4-litre turbo-petrol engine. However, in India, the car is likely to be offered with the same 1.2-litre Dualjet petrol engine as the current model. It produces 89 BHP and 113 Nm and comes paired with either a 5-speed manual gearbox or 5-speed AMT.
