Sporty Design and Compact Build
The Swift 2025 features a sporty refresh—black honeycomb grille, LED projector headlamps with boomerang-shaped DRLs, and dual-tone alloy wheels. It offers a modern rear with sleek LED tail lamps and clamshell bonnet styling. Available in multiple single-tone and dual-tone shades, the Swift measures 3860 mm in length and 1735 mm in width, balancing compact dimensions and striking road presence. Note: the 163 mm ground clearance may feel low on very rough patches. The cabin follows a contemporary black theme with dual-tone upholstery; it’s comfortable for small families though taller rear passengers may notice limited thigh support.
Modern Infotainment and Comfort
- 9-inch touchscreen with wireless Android Auto & Apple CarPlay
- 4.2-inch coloured multi-info display
- 6-speaker Arkamys-tuned audio system
- Automatic climate control & rear AC vents
- Wireless phone charging pad, cruise control & push-button start
- SmartXonnect app for navigation, alerts and diagnostics
The cabin is functional and user-friendly, though hard plastics and smaller rear glass make it feel slightly less premium than some rivals.
Efficient Performance
Powered by the new 1.2L Z-Series three-cylinder, the Swift produces 80.46 bhp and 111.7 Nm, paired to a 5-speed manual or AMT. Acceleration to 100 km/h takes around 12 seconds and top speed is near 165 km/h. Official economy figures are strong:
- Petrol Manual: 24.8 km/l
- Petrol AMT: 25.75 km/l
- CNG Manual: 32.85 km/kg
Real-world consumption typically falls between 15–18 km/l in city use and 20–23 km/l on highways. The 3-cylinder is efficient but a bit noisier than the older 4-cylinder unit. Handling is lively in urban conditions, though high-speed stability and feel are trade-offs of the car’s lightweight tuning.
Safety and Features
- 6 airbags (standard)
- ABS with EBD, ESC (AMT) and Hill Hold Assist (AMT)
- ISOFIX child seat mounts & 3-point seat belts
- Rear parking sensors and reversing camera
While the Swift’s Australian ANCAP rating was low, Bharat NCAP outcomes are pending and can differ based on test protocols.
Pricing and Availability
Available in 12 trims (Petrol & CNG), the Swift 2025 range lists between ₹6.49–₹9.65 lakh (ex-showroom). On-road pricing in Delhi typically spans ₹7.28–₹10.20 lakh. Maruti’s extensive network of 4,564 touchpoints ensures broad availability with delivery timelines from about one week to two months depending on demand. Promotions such as discounts on CNG trims and no-cost EMI options add extra value for buyers.
User Feedback and Drawbacks
Owners praise the Swift’s fuel economy, sporty styling and easy city drivability. The CNG model is lauded for low running costs (~₹1–1.5/km). Common criticisms include:
- Noisy three-cylinder engine
- AMT can feel jerky at highway speeds
- Limited rear seat comfort and thigh support
- Hard plastics inside the cabin
- Low ground clearance affecting high-speed confidence
Comparison with Competitors
- Hyundai Grand i10 Nios – smoother engine and better interiors
- Tata Tiago – value and safety oriented, less refinement
- Citroën C3 – powerful turbo option but weaker mileage and service reach
The Swift’s strengths are economy, safety kit and Maruti’s service reach; its weaknesses are interior refinement and high-speed polish.
Final Thoughts
The Maruti Suzuki Swift 2025 remains a convincing choice for buyers wanting sporty styling, strong fuel economy and low maintenance. With excellent CNG mileage up to 32.85 km/kg, wide dealer support and solid resale prospects, it’s still a top pick for urban commuters and small families despite imperfections like engine noise and limited rear space.
