The fourth-generation Swift is essentially an updated version of its predecessor, featuring a new design, engine, improved dynamics and an updated interior layout with new features and safety. It is 15mm longer, 40mm narrower and 30mm taller than the old model, with a wheelbase of 2,450mm that remains the same.
The new Swift has a redesigned front bumper and grille with chunky black surrounds, as well as redesigned smoked LED headlamps with DRLs. The revised fog lamp housing with a splitter is located below it. The clamshell bonnet is shallower and the door handles for the rear doors are back to their conventional location, instead of on the C-pillar. The hatch also gets newly designed 15-inch alloy wheels, with prominent character lines running across the door panels.
At the rear, the Swift features a redesigned tailgate and a new bumper with a skid plate below. Other highlights include an integrated rear spoiler with a stop lamp, LED taillights with C-shaped DRLs and reflectors below. Blacked-out ORVMs, roofs, and pillars are also included.
The new Swift is inspired by Baleno and Fronx. The interior of the vehicle features a new dashboard layout with a floating infotainment system, sleek AC vents, and HVAC controls located below. The car is loaded with features, including a free-standing 9.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, connected car tech, 40+ connected car features, wireless charger, semi-digital cluster with 4.2-inch MID, steering-mounted controls, automatic climate controls, push-button start, rear parking camera with sensors, and many more.
In terms of safety, the new Swift comes equipped with six airbags, ESP, hill hold control, and a three-point seatbelt standard across all variants.

The new Swift has a claimed fuel efficiency of 24.8 kmpl for the MT variants and 25.75 kmpl for AMT.
