New 2024 Maruti Suzuki Swift — Old Vs New — Most Detailed, Variant-Wise Feature Comparison

Dimension & Engine Specs Comparison - Old vs New Swift

In terms of dimensions, there’s 3 notable differences: an increase in length and a decrease in height and boot space. The outgoing Swift had a length of 3845mm, which is 15mm less than the new Swift. The new Swift is also 10mm shorter than the old Swift. In terms of boot space, the new Swift offers a 265 litre boot compared to the old Swift’s 268 litre boot. That’s a nominal drop of 3 litres in boot space.

The ground clearance of the new Swift is the same as the old model at 163mm. The old and new Swift also share the same width, wheelbase, fuel tank capacity and tyre sizes.

In terms of engine specs, the new Swift gets a major change – a new 1.2-litre 3-cylinder normal petrol engine in place of the old model’s 1.2-litre 4-cylinder normal petrol:

The new Swift’s 1.2-litre petrol engine has 1 fewer cylinder than the old Swift. Despite the same displacement, the new Swift’s petrol engine produces 8.15PS less power and 1.3Nm less torque than the older 4-cylinder petrol engine. However, both maximum power and peak torque are produced at a much lower rpm than before. Hence, we expect the new Swift to offer similar driveability both in the city and out on the highway. Stay tuned for our review of the new Swift to find out how the new petrol engine performs in mixed driving conditions.

The biggest advantage of the new 1.2-litre petrol engine in the new Swift is its improved mileage or fuel efficiency. The new Swift petrol-manual offers a 1.6kmpl improvement in mileage over the old Swift petrol manual and a significant improvement of 1.99kmpl with the AMT automatic transmission.
