Though officially unacknowledged, the 2017 Maruti Swift should be launched in India in H2 2017. The Indian-spec all-new Swift should have changes made to the ground clearance, suspension setup and tyres to adapt to the poor road conditions, and be devoid of more advanced driver assistance features.

The 2017 Maruti Swift Dzire's launch will precede the 2017 Maruti Swift, as it has been reported that the sedan will hit the market in May 2017.
