In India, the new Maruti Swift will be crash tested by Bharat NCAP, and its safety rating could be different from the Japan-spec version. Here, the hatch will also miss out on the strong hybrid tech that’s offered in its global model. The new Maruti Swift will come with Suzuki’s all-new 1.2L, 3-cylinder petrol engine that can be had with and without mild hybrid tech. Its power and torque figures are yet to be revealed. Though, the new motor is likely to be as powerful as the outgoing 1.2L K-Series petrol unit. Suzuki’s new Z-Series petrol engine will ensure better fuel efficiency than its replacement.
