Maruti Suzuki is celebrating 20 years of the Swift in India—a name that has become synonymous with sporty hatchbacks since its debut in 2005. Now in its fourth generation, the Swift continues to be a bestseller, with over 3 million units sold in the country.
The Swift accounts for more than 10% of Maruti Suzuki’s total sales and commands a strong 31% market share in its segment. From the first-gen’s peppy charm to the tech-laden fourth-gen, the Swift has maintained its reputation for performance, style, and value.
The second-gen Swift arrived in 2011, followed by the third-gen in 2018. In 2024, Maruti launched the fourth-generation Swift, powered by a new 1.2-litre Z-Series 3-cylinder petrol engine, delivering 80 BHP and 112 Nm. Buyers can choose between a 5-speed manual or an AMT gearbox.
