Expected in late-2017 in India.
Based on the leaked images of the next generation Maruti Swift, IAB's graphic artist Shoeb R Kalania has come up with a rendering of the next Maruti Swift Dzire, which offers a first possible look at the sub-4m sedan's new design.
Compared to the current model, it features a slightly upright front-end with a gaping grille, chrome accents around the grille and foglamps, new headlamps with LED DRLs and curvy front fenders inspired by the Baleno. The rear-end gets smaller taillamps with LED lighting and door handles on the B-Pillar.
The interior of the next gen Swift was also leaked, which reveals a new design that will also be featured in the next Swift Dzire. It comes equipped with a new steering wheel, twin pod instrument dials, new center console design with circular HVAC vents, Smartplay infotainment system, and new HVAC controls.
