The Maruti Suzuki Swift 2025 is that perennial favorite in the B-segment hatchback world, refreshed with the new 1.2L Z-series three-cylinder engine, six airbags standard, and a suite of connectivity features for young drivers and urban families who crave sporty style, peppy performance, and unbeatable value. Priced between Rs. 6.49 lakh and Rs. 9.64 lakh (ex-showroom), it’s a budget-friendly icon for those seeking up to 25.75 kmpl mileage and features like a 9-inch touchscreen with wireless smartphone integration. It competes with the Hyundai i20, Tata Altroz, and Toyota Glanza, offering a lighter chassis, refined ride, and updates like a new dash layout for enhanced comfort. Launched in May 2024 with ongoing 2025 tweaks, it’s available at Maruti Arena dealers with festive deals up to Rs. 25,000 off.
Compact and Stylish Design
The Swift 2025 sports a bolder, more athletic stance with a hexagonal grille, slim LED projector headlamps with DRLs, and wraparound LED taillamps that give it a premium edge. It’s nimble at 85.4 inches long (2,170 mm), 69.1 inches wide (1,755 mm), and 61.8 inches high (1,570 mm), with a 96.5-inch wheelbase (2,450 mm) for agile city driving. Weighing 920-960 kg, it boasts 6.4 inches of ground clearance (163 mm) and tubeless tires on 14-15-inch alloys. Available in six monotone and three dual-tone colors like Pearl Arctic White, Sizzling Red, and Splendid Silver, with a 5-seater layout—the 9.1 cu ft trunk (258 liters) expands for weekend gear, making it a fun urban hopper that’s easy to park.
Clear Display
The 9-inch SmartPlay Studio touchscreen on VXi and above supports wired Android Auto and Apple CarPlay for seamless nav and streaming. The semi-digital instrument cluster flashes speed, fuel, and eco data, with manual AC and rear vents for comfort. Steering controls let you tweak tunes on the go—it’s user-friendly for daily drives, though base LXi skips the screen for basics.
Punchy Performance
The new 1.2L Z-series three-cylinder petrol engine delivers 82 PS at 5,700 rpm and 112 Nm at 4,500 rpm, mated to a 5-speed manual or AMT for refined shifts. BS6 Phase 2 compliant, it claims 24.8 km/l (MT) or 25.75 km/l (AMT)—real-world 20-24 km/l in mixed conditions, with a top speed of 109 mph and 0-60 mph in 10 seconds. The 9.8-gallon tank (37 liters) stretches 200-250 miles, and light suspension with idle start-stop ensures nimble handling—peppy for overtakes but efficient for highways.
Advanced Safety System
Standard six airbags (front, side, curtain), ABS with EBD, ESP, and hill-hold (AMT) aim for 5-star Global NCAP. Rear parking camera on higher trims, rear sensors, and seatbelt reminders add peace of mind—handles wet roads or sudden stops confidently, a step up from earlier models.
Long-Lasting Fuel System
The 9.8-gallon tank (37 liters) covers 200-250 miles for 1-2 days of commuting, refills in 2 minutes. Economy at Rs. 1.5-2/km, low vibes for quiet rides—air cooling keeps it dependable without fatigue.
Connectivity and Features
LED DRLs and taillamps light the way, with USB ports, keyless entry on mid trims, and steering audio. The 6-speaker Arkamys system supports Bluetooth/aux, plus cruise control on top variants. Wireless charger and cooled glovebox on ZXi+ add convenience—practical with just enough tech.
Pricing and Availability
Priced at Rs. 6.49 lakh for LXi MT to Rs. 9.64 lakh for ZXi+ AMT (ex-showroom), on-road in Delhi Rs. 7.3-10.8 lakh with RTO and insurance. Launched May 2024 with 2025 updates, available at Maruti Arena with deals up to Rs. 25,000 off. Maintenance Rs. 2,000-3,000/year, 2-year/40,000 km warranty. Wait times: 1-2 weeks.
User Feedback and Drawbacks
Owners praise the peppy Z-series, mileage, and connectivity—the 6.4 inches clearance suits urban bumps, and six airbags boost confidence. Bluetooth and cruise get thumbs up. But three-cylinder hum at high revs, tight boot for loads, and no sunroof irk—AMT lag on inclines.
Comparison with Competitors
In the Rs. 6.5-9.6 lakh hatch segment, the Swift edges i20 on value but trails Altroz in space. Matches Glanza’s refinement, with Maruti’s network as an edge.
Speculative Notes
May 2024 launch with 2025 tweaks at Rs. 6.49-9.64 lakh, 1.2L Z-series, 24.8-25.75 km/l. Confirm with dealers for variants.
Final Thoughts
The Maruti Suzuki Swift 2025, with its nimble frame, efficient Z-series engine, and hatchback soul at Rs. 6.49-9.64 lakh, is the car that blends style and savings for global roads. It’s not a power king or space champ, but that mileage, safety, and Maruti trust make it a winner. With strong dealer support, it’s ready to zip.
