In tests conducted by JNCAP, the new Swift scored 177.8 points out of 197. It secured the highest points for preventive safety performance.

The top-spec Swift sold in the Japanese market comes equipped with ADAS, which includes features like adaptive cruise control, autonomous emergency braking and lane departure prevention; among others.

The new Swift scored 88.7 points out of 89 and secured an ‘A’ grade for preventive safety performance.

JNCAP also evaluated the Swift for pedestrian safety. The car scored 2.7 points out of 4 for pedestrian head protection, 2.8 out of 3.6 points for passenger seat belt reminder and received a full score for pedestrian leg protection and its emergency call system.

Yip, almost all the new Indian Suzukis need testing - Baleno, Fronx, Grand Vitara, upcoming Swift etc.

India has its own NCAP but it has only tested a few Tatas in the past 6 months.
 
Maruti Suzuki Swift Revealed

Meet the 4th-generation Maruti Suzuki Swift, which was revealed in India in May 2024. While an SA arrival date has yet to be confirmed, we’re confident it will be landing this year. Here’s all you need to know.

You’re probably thinking you’ve seen this car before and you’d be correct. First seen in October 2023 as a concept at the Tokyo Motor Show, the 4th-generation Suzuki Swift has already gone on sale in its home market as well as a few European countries.

Why the fuss now? The Maruti Suzuki Swift is the South African-spec model and that’s assembled in India. Why India? See, if Suzuki SA had to source its vehicles from Japan, they’d come with all the European compulsory kit like semi-autonomous safety tech, hybrid powertrains and while these are nice-to-haves, they’d push the price of the Swift up considerably and it would no longer be the affordable superstar.

 

2024 Maruti Suzuki Swift Review - Team-BHP​

Maruti Swift Pros​

• Stylish exterior is unmistakably "Swift", although opinions can be polarizing
• Smart-looking interior with a good-looking dashboard and fine ergonomics
• Manual transmission with short throws is very slick and a joy to use. Absolutely brilliant MT!
• Great drivability and light controls, along with a small footprint make it a joy in the city
• Sporty engine sound is addictive. It's the best sounding 3-cylinder I've driven
• Choice of sporty MT and convenient AMT - take your pick
• 3-cylinder engine is fuel-efficient; ARAI rating of 25.75 km/l for the AMT (MT is 24.80 km/l)
• Enjoyable handling & good high speed composure with a precise steering
• Long list of features including automatic LED projector headlamps, LED DRLs, LED foglamps, cruise control, 9-inch touchscreen HU paired with an Arkamys sound system, rear A/C vents, wireless charging, footwell lighting, connected car features etc
• Safety features such as 6 airbags, 3-point seatbelts for all, ESP, hill-hold assist, ABS+EBD, ISOFIX child seat mounts etc.
• Maruti's widespread service network, excellent after-sales support & fuss-free ownership experiences

Maruti Swift Cons​

• 1.2L petrol is not fast & exciting enough for enthusiasts. Not as refined as the outgoing 4-cylinder, nor as powerful (power has actually dropped to just 81 BHP)
• Priced very close to the more premium & spacious Baleno
• Mediocre plastic quality (interiors) is typical Maruti grade; very ordinary
• AMT can get jerky & slow. Some competitors offered smoother ATs (e.g. Altroz DCT, Hyundai's AMT, i20's IVT)
• No CNG or diesel option like some rivals
• Low speed ride is jiggly due to suspension tune & 15-inch wheels
• Black interiors and smallish glass area can make one claustrophobic, particularly at the back
• Rear seat’s under-thigh support is mediocre for taller passengers
• Some misses (auto-dimming IRVM, TPMS, sunroof, driving modes, smaller spare tyre on the Z trims...)
• L & V variants get horribly skinny 165 mm tyres. Please upgrade
• 163 mm ground clearance raises our eyebrows, although Maruti hatchbacks aren't known to scrape speed breakers
