Overview
The fourth generation Swift was previewed as the Swift Concept on 25 October 2023. The production model was officially introduced first in Japan and Europe on 6 December 2023. Swift's biggest market, India, received the fourth generation model on 9 May 2024. The hatchback is still underpinned by the same Heartect platform, but redesigned to appeal to Generation Z. Despite having a similar exterior design as the prior generation, the refreshed design is claimed to be 4.6% more aerodynamic by adopting back door side spoilers, optimizing the front strake, front bumper and wheel shape.
Powertrain
A brand new 1.2-liter three-cylinder engine called Z12E was also introduced, replacing the older K12D/N Dualjet four-cylinder engines and available in conventional or mild hybrid versions. It is mated to a 5-speed manual transmission or a newly developed lightweight CVT, available for both front or all-wheel drive configurations. A 5-speed automated manual transmission Auto Gear Shift (AGS) is also available mainly for Indian market. A CNG variant of the Z12E engine was introduced in India in September 2024.
