From the heart of the runway, this 'S' belogo manufacturer will equip Swift with a 1.2 liter 3-cylinder Z Series engine that was introduced to Japanese specifications last year. According to the company, the engine will focus on reducing emissions, fuel efficiency, and power.

It is possible that this latest engine will produce up to 90 dk of power and 113 Nm of torque and be equipped with a mild-hybrid system. Although the information is limited, it is estimated that Swift will use a manual transmission of five AMT accelerations and gyrboks.

For the Indian market, Swift will be the rival of Hyundai Grand i10 Nios and Citroen C3. It is estimated that this hatchback will experience a price increase compared to the previous generation between 624.000 to 883,000 rupees (equivalent to IDR 121.1 million to IDR 171.4 million).
