Speculations are rife that Maruti Suzuki Swift will be seen in a new avatar by carrying a facelift, and its vast fan base is eagerly waiting to take a glimpse of this transformation.

Once again, keeping up with customers changing requirements, Maruti Suzuki has decided to to give Swift a facial uplift. The all new modified hatchback will feature some tweaks at exteriors and interior as well. Top end models of Swift might display the unique features of cruise control, keyless entry with push start button and a dual tone dashboard. Furthermore, an optional 16-inch alloy wheel and a reformed front grille will be available for the elite class of customers. The engine specifications would remain the same as the ongoing model but the new car might bear a price tag Rs. 50,000 more than the current version of Swift. This news is already tempting domestic buyers and existing Swift owners and it will be worth watching what the final outcome is.
