Maruti Suzuki recently introduced the Grand Vitara Dominion and Baleno Regal Editions, which came with additional accessory packages. Now, its Maruti Swift hatchback is joining the bandwagon with the special Blitz edition. The Maruti Swift Blitz edition, available for a limited time via Maruti Arena dealers, is being offered in five variants – LXi, VXi, VXi AMT, VXi (O), and VXi (O) AMT. So, what’s special about this limited edition?
With the Maruti Swift Blitz edition, you get an accessory pack at no additional cost. The kit’s actual price is Rs 49,848. It includes fog lamps, moulding along the sides, a spoiler on top of the boot, a rear underbody spoiler, door visors, and illuminated door sills. No other changes have been made to the hatchback.
At present, the Maruti Swift is available within the price range of Rs 6.49 lakh – Rs 9.59 lakh. Powering the hatchback is a 1.2L, 3-cylinder Z12E petrol engine, which produces 82bhp and 112Nm. Compared to the old Swift, the new-gen model is slightly less powerful and torquier. The new engine is claimed to produce up to 12 percent fewer carbon emissions. It’s one of the most fuel-efficient cars in the country, delivering 24.8kmpl – 25.75kmpl.
The Swift CNG uses the 1.2L petrol engine with a CNG kit, promising a mileage of 32.85km/kg. While the CNG version is available only with a 5-speed manual transmission, the petrol version can be had with a 5-speed manual and a 5-speed AMT gearbox.
With the generation change, the Maruti Swift receives several new features such as a larger 9-inch floating touchscreen infotainment system, an updated analog instrument cluster with a 4.2-inch digital MID, new HVAC switches, revised central air-con vents, new fabric upholstery, six airbags, rear parking sensors, ABS with EBD, Isofix anchors, hill start assist, electronic stability control, and more.
