Bro, the Maruti Suzuki Swift 2025 is that you? It’s like your good old friend who decided to get fit on the side — fun to drive as always but it’s now packing a more fuel efficient three-cylinder motor and a hatch full of safety goodies that will keep parents happy. Launched in May 2024, but carrying the 2025 tag with Android 15 updates and GST price cuts, it is Maruti’s hatchback flagship for youthful motorists, city go-getters, and petite families seeking sporty excitement on the goodies. Rs to Rs from ex-showroom prices 5.79 – 8.80 lakh . against the Hyundai i20 or Tata Altroz, it’s a steal at Rs 5.79 lakh to Rs 8.80 lakh ex-showroom (up to Rs 1.06 lakh cut after the GST c u tcome September 22).
Boasting a 1.2L Z-series powerplant delivering a claimed mileage of 25.75 kmpl, six airbags and a 9-inch touchscreen as standard, it’s shifted in excess of 30 lakh units since 2005 –great if you’re swapping out the old gen for a lighter and thrifty solution, although the three-pot hum might buzz a bit on highways.
Sporty, Fresh Design
This hatch is a compact firecracker—measuring 3,860 mm in length, 1,695 mm in width, and 1,522 mm in height, with a 2,450 mm wheelbase that’s agile enough to weave through rickshaws. Weighing 920-960 kg and riding on 163 mm of ground clearance, it sails over speed breakers without bottoming out. The 2025 features a striking grille, LED projector headlamps with DRLs, and wraparound taillamps in Pearl Arctic White or Sizzling Red—six monotone and three dual-tone shades for pop.15-16 inch alloys with 185/65 R15 tires hold steady, roof rails enhance utility—floating roofline stance, wide doors for easy hops, slim for tight muchachas.
Cozy, Connected Cabin
Jump in, and fabric seats cater for five with good legroom up front and a flat floor under the middle occupant — no cramps on short runs. The 265L boot swallows your grocery haul, with a 60:40 split folding rear seat to accommodate bulky items. Top variants feature a 9-inch touchscreen with wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay for maps or Spotify, semi-digital cluster for speed and distance travelled. Manual AC cools quickly, cruise on ZXi+ relaxes legs, ambient LEDs create moods—cup holders and cooled glovebox keep chai or phones handy. Airy enough for sweaty rides, Arkamys speakers blast tunes—no sunroof on base, spacing ticks off everyday chores.
Peppy, Wallet-Friendly Engine
The 1.2L Z-series 3-cylinder petrol engine produces 82PS and 112Nm — 5-speed manual or AMT gearshifts are smooth, zipping 0-100kmph in 12 seconds and a top speed of 160kmph. ARAI 25.75 kmpl (real world 20-22) stretches that 37L tank to 700-800 kms at Rs. 4-5/km—CNG ticks 32.85 km/kg for economy. Front MacPherson struts and torsion beam rear do potholes well, no wallow on the highways – refined NVH for chats, three-pot buzz nags at revs.
Safety Basics Beefed Up
Six airbags, ABS with EBD and ESP all standard, chasing that 5-star Global NCAP with their hearttect frame. Rear sensors and 360-camera on ZXi+ for additional peace, hill-hold for inclines. Disc-drum breaks stop well in the rain — no full ADAS, wide tyres and chassis grip good. Moreover, the vehicle is designed to survive scrapes and ISOFIX lets you fix kids in the car — it’s good for newbies who want to gain their confidence.
