Maruti Suzuki India is gearing up to launch its new generation Swift. The company has released the official teaser of this sedan for the first time. The company gave the caption in this teaser: “The best is only the beginning.” Let us tell you that the Dezire is the number 1 sedan in the country. It competes with cars like Hyundai Aura, Honda Amaze and Tata Tigor. However, no model comes close in terms of sales. Many segment-first features will be available in the new Swift. In addition, the company will also supply a new engine. It is believed that it could be launched after Diwali on November 4.
We can see from the new leaked photo of Desire that it will have a completely new design. It features a larger grille with multiple horizontal slats, full LED headlights, LED fog lights, new front and rear bumpers and new alloy wheels. The updated model also features a 360-degree camera, new tri-arrow LED taillights, an integrated spoiler on the trunk lid and a segment-first electric sunroof. The interior also features beige upholstery and a dark-colored dashboard. The company will use the New Swift engine there.
Expected features and specifications of the new generation Dezire
The new generation of Dezire will be built on the Heartect platform of the new Swift. Along with this, many components will also be shared between the two cars. In the new Swift, the company has used a new 1.2 liter naturally aspirated 3-cylinder petrol engine from the Z series. It generates a power of 82 hp and a peak torque of 112 Nm. It replaced the 4-cylinder unit of the K series. The new engine is mated to a 5-speed manual transmission and a 5-speed AMT transmission. Dezire’s engine numbers will also remain the same.
Talking about the new Swift, the company claims that the mileage of its MT petrol variant is 24.8 km per liter and that of the AMT petrol is 25.75 km per litre. We think the Desire’s mileage might be slightly lower in comparison. However, it is also expected that the company may launch a CNG variant of the Dezire in addition to gasoline.
The new Dzire gets other features from the new Swift like a new 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless smartphone connectivity, wireless charger, 6 standard airbags, ESP, hill start control, automatic climate control, rear parking sensors, reversing camera, cruise control. These include electrically adjustable ORVMs, LED headlights and LED taillights, newly designed LED daytime running lights and LED fog lights.
What’s special about the models tested on Indian roads is that one of them was equipped with a sunroof, which means it may also have one. The price of the new Swift is expected to be slightly higher than the current model. In fact, Dezire is the crown of its segment. There’s no one that comes close to it in sales. However, in the Indian market, it will compete with models like the Honda Amaze and Hyundai Aura.
