Maruti Suzuki has launched a brand-new Swift Sports Edition in India, adding a touch of sportiness and style to one of the country’s most loved hatchbacks. While the engine remains the same, this new edition focuses on visual upgrades, sportier design elements, and enhanced appeal all without increasing the price too much. This move is aimed at young buyers who want a sporty, premium look in a budget-friendly package.
Exterior Design: Bolder and Sharper Look
The Swift Sports Edition brings several cosmetic enhancements that make the car look more aggressive and energetic. It gets a black-out theme across the body, with sport-inspired graphics and detailing. The front grille is now finished in gloss black, and the car comes with a sleek body kit, adding visual flair to the bumpers and side skirts.
The smoked headlamps and rear black spoiler further add to the bold stance of the car. A new set of stylish dual-tone alloy wheels complete the dynamic appearance, making the Sports Edition stand apart from the regular Swift variants.
Interior Enhancements: Sporty Cabin Feel
While the cabin layout remains largely similar to the regular Swift, the Sports Edition gets minor interior tweaks for a sportier vibe. Expect contrast stitching on the seats, new floor mats with red accents, and a refreshed dashboard theme. These small but impactful changes add to the premium, youthful feel inside the car.
The infotainment system, steering-mounted controls, and digital driver display remain unchanged, but the refreshed interior theme adds a distinct character.
Engine and Performance: No Change Under the Hood
The Swift Sports Edition continues to use the same tried-and-tested 1.2L K-Series Dual Jet petrol engine, producing 90 PS of power and around 113 Nm of torque. It comes mated to both a 5-speed manual and an AMT gearbox, offering smooth and efficient performance for city and highway use.
While it doesn’t get any performance upgrades, the Swift is already known for its peppy driving dynamics and sharp handling, which makes it a fun car in its segment.
Features and Safety
This special edition retains all the key features from the mid and top variants of the Swift lineup. These include a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system, Android Auto & Apple CarPlay, steering-mounted audio controls, automatic climate control, and push-button start.
In terms of safety, the Swift Sports Edition includes dual airbags, ABS with EBD, rear parking sensors, and high-speed alert system the same set offered in the regular Swift.
Price and Availability
Maruti Suzuki has smartly positioned the Swift Sports Edition to appeal to buyers who want extra style without spending much more. The pricing starts close to ₹8 lakh (ex-showroom), making it only slightly costlier than the standard variants.
It is now available at NEXA and ARENA dealerships across India, depending on the variant it is based on.
Final Thoughts: Swift Gets a Youthful Twist
The Maruti Swift Sports Edition brings a fresh breath of sporty flair to an already successful car. It’s designed for buyers who want to stand out on the road without stretching their budget. While there are no mechanical changes, the aggressive styling, new black-themed detailing, and refreshed interior make this edition a great choice for first-time buyers and Swift fans alike.
If you’ve been waiting to buy a Swift with a more eye-catching look, this new edition might just be the one for you.
