The 2024 Maruti Suzuki Swift starts at ₹5.84 lakh for the LXi manual, climbing to ₹8.89 lakh for the top‑end ZXi+.
Five petrol trims – LXi, VXi, VXi (O), ZXi, ZXi+ – each offered in manual or AMT, and three CNG versions that mirror the VXi, VXi (O) and ZXi levels. Prices jump about 60% from base to premium, and the CNG variants are roughly ₹300,000 higher than their petrol siblings.
Under the hood sits a 1.2‑liter, three‑cylinder Z‑Series engine that churns out 82 hp and 112 Nm on petrol, dropping to 69 hp and 102 Nm on CNG. The manual gets 25.35 km/l, the AMT 26.25 km/l, while the CNG manual averages 35.07 km/kg and the AMT 35.34 km/kg.
Feature‑wise, LXi is a safety grid – six airbags, ABS‑EBD, ESP, hill‑hold, parking sensors and LED rear lamps. VXi adds a 17.8‑cm touchscreen, steering controls, voice assistant and wireless charging on the CNG models. ZXi and ZXi+ lift the bar with LED projector headlamps, automatic climate control, a rear wiper and washer, and in the ZXi+ a leather‑wrapped steering wheel, Arkamys surround sound and cruise control.
In the crowded compact segment, the Swift holds its own against the Hyundai i10 and Tata Tiago. Its price cushion gives it an edge for budget buyers, while the CNG option appeals to those looking to shave running costs. The AMT variants cater to city dwellers who value convenience over a slight fuel hit.
The 2024 Swift has been rolling off the line since September, with dealerships across major metros and tier‑2 cities now stocking all trims. Keep an eye on the upcoming price revisions after the December sales reports, and watch for any next‑generation updates that might bring a mild‑turbo or a sharper infotainment package.
