Safer Now 🧐 New Maruti Swift 2024 | First Look
Whether you liked Swift or not But one thing which everyone has praised was its 1.2 liter K12 4 cylinder engine Now, unfortunately with the supposedly new generation model They have gone with 3 cylinders This is 1.2 litre engine but has become 3 cylinders Is it that exciting? I
will tell you after driving it But, apart from this K12 engine what else has it lost or gained? We are going to talk about that today Namaskar viewers, my name is Vikas Yogi You are watching ICN Studio And here is everything that you need to know about The
new Swift Alright, so the first things first It is a new generation model, So, has the platform changed? Actually, no, it is still the hard tech platform But they have said that it has been reinforced. They have tried to make it slightly more structurally strong But I am
not the authority, I am not from Global NCAP When it will be tested, then we’ll get to know more about it Whether the platform has gained stability or not But one thing that has happened is that 6 airbags Hill Hold, ABS features have become standard Even from the
base variant, the LXI Now, if you look at the design language Now see, when you don’t change the platform You don’t change the chassis So, the silhouette doesn’t change
Swift Of course, you can feel it by looking at the front. Because there is a slight change in this But overall, the silhouette has remained the same. Now, this particular hood It reminds me of an old Maruti Suzuki car Which was A-Star Do you also feel the same?
It reminds me a lot of A-Star But apart from that, full LED headlamp Black, you have been given a grill Then a dual tone sort of finish has been given It’s an LED setup, i.e. fog lamp has also been given in LED But one thing that truly stands
out is the profile Apart from that, one thing that has been good The handle that was given to you at the top That has come down So, the door handle has come down It has been placed in the proper place But it looks good from the side There
are 15-inch alloy wheels There is not much change in the design In fact, the profile is also 185/65 R15 On the rear, things can be seen changing, of course It feels like the tailgate has gone inside And this is given in the right place Actually, if you want
to access this Of course, you get the request sensor. But light has got a full LED treatment. If you talk about reverse parking sensors 1, 2, 3, 4, there is no change in this Which is nice Of course, you get a reverse parking camera After all these changes
Now, what has happened is Swift has become a new generation But it’s not like there is a drastic change It’s more of an evolution than a typical departure In fact, the wheelbase is also 250mm i.e. there is no change in that That means there will be no change
inside too We will talk about it when we go inside But one thing I want to say before Its price is 6.49 Lakh Now Baleno, which is its cousin Which is sold through Nexa Its price is only 20,000 rupees more than this And there is a discount of
38,000 on Baleno So, if you are planning to buy a Baleno Or if you are confused with Swift I will straight away say go and buy a Baleno Why? First, the pricing has reduced If you compare the variant to variant Along with the discounts In fact, even if
there is no discount Then also, there is a difference of only 20,000 What do you get in 20,000 extra? You get a bigger wheelbase You get more space You get a 360 degree camera You get an auto-dimming IRVM Which I will show you inside, You get 16-inch alloy
wheels And a lot of things Also, HUD and all such fancy features. So, these things somehow make Baleno more sensible Let’s get inside and check out the changes On the inside, honestly One thing that you get in every new car Is the screen It supports both Apple Carplay
and Android Auto It is a 9-inch screen But these extra bezels look very big, honestly But apart from that It’s the same layered sort of interiors There’s a very nominal slight difference in colour combination. Maruti doesn’t make a lot of changes in their seats There is no change
this time as well And there is no complaint in the seats Swift’s seats are very comfortable, And very supportive You get a very good side bolster support. That thing is definitely maintained here as well Good bolster support In fact, I like the seats of this car better than
Baleno When it comes to holding you But if you are taller than me Then it will become a problem Steering wheel is Exactly in the D-cut style In fact, it used to come in Swift before as well It feels good to hold It’s pretty good to hold But
there was a problem That it didn’t used to come back to its position while reversing. Will that happen this time as well? We will tell you when we drive But the tilt adjustment Of course, it doesn’t get a telescope adjustment But all the other things Like cruise control
buttons And button for call accepting and declining All these things have been given to you The position of the engine start-stop button Is still the same But if you talk about the instrument cluster This 4.3 inch MID has been given to you And are you seeing this? This
is typical Maruti This stick has been still given to you If you change it from here It would have been given here But of course Whatever it is Don’t pay attention to fuel efficiency Because the car has been standing since morning But there are a lot of things
If you want to change anything If you want to change the brightness Everything can be controlled by this. Which is typical in every Maruti It looks good actually Even there’s a very good light outside There is no problem in this And I like the analog setup which is
very easy to understand Here it’s a speed, tachometer You can see this fuel gauge Everything is clearly visible to you Now, Maruti Suzuki uses these buttons basically in every car Probably, they must have become highly profitable You get to see the same thing here as well. Then you
can adjust the ORVM from here. To open or close it. And these buttons are exactly the same It would be great if they made every button lit up Like this one Now, one thing that I miss out on is the auto-dimming of the IRVM Which you get in
the Baleno You have got the wireless charger here But type-A has been given not type-C Because since it’s a modern car I think the inclusion of type C Would have been given in the front Or both would have been given USB type-A and type-C both Then it would
have been a good thing But that has not been given In fact That thing Is given here for you In which there is type-A and there is type-C I think both Will charge in a similar way If your phone is as big as the Chappal Pro Max, then
it will keep coming out. But it’s not like it will come out while driving. But if there was a little more depth, it would have been fun. Now see, if you have a small family, it’ll come fit inside it, 5 people can come. But if you are somebody
whose family has tall people, if one tall person is sitting in the front, Then the other can’t sit in the back. Then, a guy from a small family will sit inside. I am 5-6 feet tall. There is a place to stretch your legs. There is no problem. But
some things have been missed. They have given 6 airbags. We are more concerned about safety. But this is also safety. There are neither adjustable nor fixed headrests available. Then armrest That’s not a safety, it’s a convenience Suppose four people are travelling Then there should be an armrest for
them, They have missed that. They have given 3-pointer seatbelts for everyone, which is nice. But one problem is because there are no weight sensors, that means if you are driving and you have not buckled them, Then they will keep making noise, Which happens in a lot of Maruti
and Suzuki cars. It happens in Fronx too. So, they should find a solution to this. The headroom is okay. You might touch it if you’re tall If you sit like this, it’s okay. But for tall people, It’s not one of the best places to sit in, especially the
rear seat. But overall, if there are not many tall people in the family like I said, then it shouldn’t be a problem. I think I have not shown you the boot. Let me show you. Alright. The boot space is more or less the same. Well, 4 litres has
been reduced according to papers. But what will you do with those 4 litres? Actually, you will not be able to do anything. It’s a very slight difference. So, it’s the same, but one thing has improved The boot lip has a slightly lower In fact, the height of the
car is slightly reduced Overall height. So, the boot space is of 265 litres. That means you can only keep 2-3 small luggages, Light is given but only one side Which is not bright enough. But in general, it’s the same. Now, I said the height has reduced i.e. ground
clearance has been reduced? No, it’s actually the same more or less. It’s still 163mm. That means Baleno is better than this in that aspect too. It’s 170mm. Although there is only a difference of 7mm, It’s not much difference You can always play with suspension travel. But it’s always
considered a little stiffened up. But the company says that they have worked on the suspension to make it ride better. We will talk when they drive. But I can, you can be rest assured, you can be rest assured that All the recent cars of Maruti Suzuki Their suspension
was very stiff when Heartect platform was launched initially Later they did a good job. In fact, consider Alto K10 Which is not from Hardtech, it’s a different platform. But consider the old Baleno, Now, the new Baleno has improved. The suspension of old Baleno was stiff. Swift’s suspension was
also slightly stiff, Now, it’s possible that they have favoured the ride quality. So, they have worked on the suspension as well. Travel is decent. Ground clearance shouldn’t be an issue, Especially because it’s a small car. Its wheelbase is small And now, the final thing Which is this Z12E
3-cylinder engine Which is a little less powerful than the K12. How less powerful it is, It’s 7BHP less and 1Nm less torque. Now, they have kept the same torque more or less and the cubic capacity is 1200cc. And I hope they live up to the expectation Which they
have achieved with the K12. But that can’t happen Because a 4 Cylinder engine will be more vibration-free inherently It will create some sort of vibration. And that’s why you’re getting an insulation This insulation sheet. Which will try to control it. But honestly, after K12 Will they be able
to meet that expectation and make us happy? Will they be able to live up to this expectation? We’ll discuss that in our drive video. But they have lived up to the expectation, as they have always done, And that is fuel efficiency. 25.8 kmpl with an AGS With a
1200cc engine without any hybrid, then after that 24.7 kmpl, if you take their manual then you get it, that makes it one of the most fuel- efficient petrol cars in the country but, Are the fun elements intact or not? we will talk about that after driving it, but
they have said that We have improved the low-end torque by 10-12%, now we will talk about that after driving it, but I hope vibrations are well-controlled, I hope that it is still fun to drive, But for that, you will have to wait, Our video is coming very soon,
Thank you so much, people, for watching this video.
