Maruti Swift 2025: Stunning Mileage, Features & Price from ₹7.52 Lakh

For over two decades, the Maruti Suzuki Swift has been India’s favourite sporty hatchback—youthful design, zippy performance, and wallet-friendly running costs. Now in 2025, the all-new Maruti Swift returns with sharper styling, advanced safety, and a brand-new Z-Series petrol engine that delivers segment-best mileage. It also brings a factory-fitted CNG option, making it even more versatile for Indian buyers.

With over 30 lakh Swifts sold in India, this car is more than just a hatchback—it’s an icon. From college students to office-goers and even families looking for a second car, the Swift has always appealed to those who want fun + practicality in one package. The new 2025 model strengthens that formula with premium features like a 9-inch SmartPlay Pro+ screen, wireless charging, connected tech, and 6 airbags standard across all trims.

So, is the Swift still the king of sporty hatchbacks, or have newer rivals like the Tata Punch and Hyundai Grand i10 Nios caught up? Let’s break it down.

Engine, Mileage & Performance

Petrol Variants

• Engine: 1.2L Z12E 3-cylinder Petrol
• Power: 81.58 PS @ 5700 rpm
• Torque: 111.7 Nm @ 4300 rpm
• Gearbox: 5-speed MT / 5-speed AMT
• Mileage:
  • 24.8 kmpl (MT)
  • 25.75 kmpl (AMT – best in the segment)

CNG Variants

• Engine: 1.2L Petrol + CNG
• Power: 69.75 PS @ 5700 rpm
• Torque: 101.8 Nm @ 2900 rpm
• Gearbox: 5-speed MT
• Mileage: 32.85 km/kg (segment-best)

On the road, the new Z-Series motor feels peppy enough for daily commutes and weekend drives. The manual is slick and engaging, while the AMT, though convenient in traffic, can feel a little laggy when pushed hard. The CNG variant prioritises economy over thrill but remains practical for city use.

Design & Features

Exterior Styling

The Swift 2025 wears its sporty DNA proudly:

• Smokey projector headlamps with signature boomerang DRLs
• Glossy black honeycomb grille
• Dual-tone alloy wheels with a sharp cut design
• Floating dual-tone roof options (red/black, orange/black, white/black)
• A low-slung, wide stance that makes it look more athletic than rivals like the Grand i10.

Step inside and the cabin feels youthful yet functional:

• 9-inch SmartPlay Pro+ touchscreen with wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay
• ARKAMYS-tuned sound system for immersive audio
• Cruise control, rear AC vents, automatic headlamps (on higher trims)
• Wireless phone charger and multiple USB-C ports
• 265L boot space – usable but smaller than premium hatchbacks like the Baleno

The Swift 2025 raises the bar by offering 6 airbags as standard across all trims—a big step forward in safety.

Safety Kit

• ISOFIX child seat anchors

• Best-in-segment mileage (Petrol + CNG)
• 6 airbags standard across trims
• Sporty design with projector lamps & dual-tone alloys
• Feature-rich with wireless charger, Suzuki Connect, cruise control

Price & Rivals

At ₹7.52 – 11.18 lakh (on-road, Kolkata), the Swift sits in the premium hatchback space but still undercuts some compact SUVs.

Rivals:

• Hyundai Grand i10 Nios: Cheaper but less efficient (18–20 kmpl).
• Tata Punch: 5-star safety, but not as sporty to drive.
• Maruti Dzire: Same engine, bigger boot, better safety rating.
• Maruti Baleno: Larger and more premium, but slightly pricier.
• Citroen C3: More powerful turbo-petrol, but misses out on features.

Among these, the Swift stands out as the sportiest to drive, especially for younger buyers who want style + efficiency.

Final Verdict

The Maruti Suzuki Swift 2025 is not just an upgrade—it’s a reinforcement of why the Swift has been India’s favourite sporty hatchback for 20 years. With its new Z-Series petrol engine, unmatched fuel economy, factory CNG, and standard 6-airbag safety, it caters to both enthusiasts and practical buyers.

If you want a hatchback that feels youthful, drives well, and won’t burn a hole in your pocket, the Swift 2025 is still the king of the segment. The only misses are a sunroof and top-end CNG option, but for most buyers, the Swift remains the perfect blend of thrill, features, and trust.
