Leading automobile manufacturer Maruti Suzuki is quite much in the news these days. Following the successful launches of the Baleno and the Vitara Brezza, the manufacturer has already started working on the next generation Maruti Swift. Maruti will probably launch this new model by 2017-end! While details are rather sketchy at the moment and the manufacturer is yet to give an official launch date, it would be rather safe to assume that Maruti will probably launch the next generation Swift in India soon after the international debut. The 2017 Maruti Swift will be a much more modern car than the current Swift. The next-gen Swift has been internally code-named as the YSD. Test mules of the next generation Swift have been spied on international roads and the leaked images here show what the car could look like. Here’s all that’s available on the new model 2017 Maruti Swift-

2017 Maruti Swift is likely to come with the the existing engine options. However, we expect these models come in a new state of tune for additional power and mileage. Currently, the engines for the Swift are– 1.2-litre, K-series Petrol and 1.3-litre DDiS 190 Diesel. For the 2017 Swift, the transmission options could be a 5-speed manual and a CVT automatic for the Petrol model.

New 2017 Maruti Swift Exterior Design
As can be seen in the images we have here, the basic design of the next Swift remains almost the same as the current model. However, it does sport many new styling elements like a floating roof, a Renault Pulse-like front grille, stretched-back headlamps, and new wrap-around taillights. Also, much like the Chevrolet Beat, the rear door handle has been moved towards the C-Pillar. We feel that the Swift’s exterior design has evolved in the right direction. The upcoming new model 2017 Maruti Swift looks sportier and more premium. Yet, it maintains the essence of the original model.
New 2017 Maruti Swift Interior Design
Changes on the inside, however, seem to be far more comprehensive. There’s a new steering wheel that looks sportier, a two-pod speedo console with a large Multi-Information Display (MID), body color coordinated inserts, and circular aircon vents. The interior setup definitely looks more premium than the one we are used to seeing on the current model.

New Maruti Swift 2017 – Engine and Transmission
Currently, the Maruti Swift is sold in petrol and diesel variants. The petrol variant comes with 1197 cc K-series petrol engine with VVT. While the max. power is 84.3 PS at 6000 rpm, the peak torque is 115 Nm at 4000 rpm. The diesel variant produces 75 PS of maximum power at 4000 rpm and furthermore a peak torque of 190 Nm at 2000 rpm. Both variants are mated to a 5-speed manual transmission. The dimensions of this car are 3850 x 1695 x 1530 mm (length, width, and height respectively). It has a wheelbase of 2430 mm and ground clearance of 170 mm. Safety features available on the Swift include Dual SRS Airbags, Reverse Parking Sensor, Boost Assist System (BAS) Braking and new-gen ABS with Motor Speed Regulation System.
Internationally, the new Maruti Swift 2017 could bid goodbye to the 1.6-litre Naturally Aspirated motor it currently comes with. Instead, it could get a new 1.4-litre Boosterjet motor that powers the Suzuki Vitara S. This engine pumps out a max. power of 136 PS and a peak torque of 220 Nm. India is likely to get the smaller 1.0-litre Boosterjet Petrol engine and the indigenously developed 1.5-litre Diesel engine. Both the engines will get a 6-speed manual transmission and the petrol model could get a CVT too.

New Model 2017 Swift Competition
The Swift will continue to rival the same cars it rivals currently. These are –
The Swift leads on its segment’s sales charts. Such has been the demand for this hatchback that it has often outsold even the much cheaper Maruti Alto. True, the likes of Grand i10 and new Figo have managed to steal some light-light away from the Swift. However, with the launch of the next generation 2017 Swift, Maruti might end up giving yet another lethal blow to the competition. We are pretty sure that the new model 2017 Maruti Swift India launch will be a significant milestone in Maruti’s really long success story.
