09/02/2018

2018 Maruti Suzuki Swift revealed at 2018 Auto Expo and will shake up the segment once again

Maruti is all set to be extremely aggressive in the market where it dominates the most. The manufacturer is losing ground in certain areas despite sales not being affected. All of this is courtesy is manufacturer such as Hyundai, Ford and Renault targeting the brand and its audience to their showrooms. Maruti lacked the modern approach towards the products and in other ways as well. All changed with new launches such as Brezza, Ciaz and Baleno. Nexa also made sure the modern touch is amply visible. New Swift and Dzire that are set to come already look very promising. The New Swift was unveiled in Japan and is by far the best looking Swift till date. Let’s have a closer look as the car has been unvieled in India.

The design worldwide is being termed as cute. The resemblance to Mini is intensified this time. These new camouflages that has been opted show the design very well. New headlights with an oval shape and DRL’s can be seen at the front.

The tail-lamps are square and will have LED’s as well. The new side profile suggest the A-Pillar is going to be the same, B-Pillar is gone a bit skimpier and C-Pillar is squarish. Rear has been highly criticized of the current swift and new one will be surely better as we can see in the pictures. Overall, the ‘cute’ meter is set to be high and is going to be a hip vehicle. Expect Maruti to offer a lot of accessories this time with the Swift to make it stand out.
