The biggest change lies under the hood of the new Swift. Now powered by the next generation K-Series Dual Jet Dual VVT petrol engine with Idle Start/Stop technology, the new Swift promises an even more fun-to-drive experience than before. The new 1.2 litre unit is capable of delivering 89.7 PS of power which is up from what the earlier one delivered and this translates to better driving dynamics. Known for its frugal nature, the Swift remains extremely efficient with the manual version delivering 23.20 kmpl while the AGS version offers a solid 23.76 kmpl.
