Maruti Suzuki’s 2020 Swift has been launched in Japan starting at ¥ 1,377,200 (Rs 9.69 lakh).
The Maruti Suzuki Swift Dzire, one of India’s highest-selling sedans, was recently given an update in India; though just a facelift with minor changes to the design. Recently, pictures of the brochures of the 2020 Swift were leaked online. The manufacturers have now launched the 2020 Swift in Japan but we cannot yet be sure if this model will make its way to India.
The most noticeable change in design we can see on the 2020 Swift is to the front end of the car. It gets a larger grille with a hexagonal pattern and looks a bit chunkier than the previous model. Apart from this, there seem to be no other changes. Even the rear is almost identical to the previous model. The 2020 Swift gets advanced safety features such as adaptive cruise control(with all vehicle speed tracking function, blind spot monitor and cross-traffic alerts.

We can expect it to make its way to India in the upcoming two months depending on how things are going. Currently, the Swift in India is priced between Rs 5.02 lakh and Rs 8.02 lakh (ex-showroom). We can expect to see an increase of between Rs 30,000 and 50,000 for the new 2020 Swift.
