New engine, great mileage
The Maruti Swift 2025 has a new 1.2-litre Z12E three-cylinder petrol engine, which gives 82 PS power and 112 Nm torque. It comes with a 5-speed manual or 5-speed AMT gearbox. Maruti claims that it gives mileage of 24.8 kmpl (manual) and 25.75 kmpl (AMT). In actual use, one can get 22-23 kmpl in cities. The CNG variant gives a mileage of 32.85 km/kg, which further saves on fuel. With a 37-litre petrol tank, you can drive up to 850-950 km, while the 55-litre CNG tank gives a range of up to 1,800 km. It meets BS6 Phase 2 regulations, causing less harm to the environment. However, some drivers feel that the old four-cylinder engine was more fun.
City driving fun
The Maruti Swift 2025 is built on the Heartect platform, with McPherson struts in the front and torsion beam suspension at the rear. It drives easily on city roads. The 2450 mm wheelbase keeps it stable, and the 163 mm ground clearance is fine for speed breakers, but can touch down on bad roads in the countryside. Braking is handled by front disc and rear drum brakes, with ABS and EBD providing a safe stop. All variants get electronic stability control (ESC), which adds to safety. With a kerb weight of 920 kg, it is agile in traffic, but the suspension can feel a little stiff over potholes.
Everyday Useful Features
The Maruti Swift 2025 cabin is modern and convenient. It gets a 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system that supports wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The 4.2-inch MID gives mileage and trip information. Automatic climate control, wireless charger, and a six-speaker Arkamys sound system add to the comfort. For safety, all variants get six airbags, ESC, hill-hold assist, rear parking camera, and ISOFIX child seat mounts. The 265-litre boot easily accommodates groceries or small bags, but space for five adults may fall short on long trips. Some would want a more premium cabin, but it is good for everyday use.
Fuel savings
The Maruti Swift 2025’s mileage makes it economical. The actual mileage is 22-23 kmpl on petrol and 28-30 kmpl on CNG. Assuming petrol costs ₹100/litre, you can save up to ₹12,000 annually as compared to a car that gives 15 kmpl. The running cost is ₹1.5-₹2 per km, which is great for a hatchback. The BS6 Phase 2 engine emits less, and the CNG option is for those who want to save more. Some drivers feel that the CNG claimed mileage of 32.85 kmpl is a bit exaggerated, but it is still economical.
Maruti Swift 2025 Price and variants in India
The Maruti Swift 2025 starts at ₹6.49 lakh (ex-showroom), going up to ₹9.64 lakh for the top ZXi+ dual tone AMT. On-road price in Delhi is ₹7.29 lakh to ₹10.82 lakh. CNG variants are available at ₹8.19 lakh to ₹9.19 lakh (ex-showroom). EMIs can start from ₹14,500/mo with a down payment of ₹75,000 for 5 years at 9.8% interest. It comes in nine variants: LXi, VXi, VXi(O), ZXi, ZXi+, and their AMT or CNG options. Available in nine colours, such as Lustre Blue and Splendid Silver.

Rival cars
The Maruti Swift 2025 competes with:
- Hyundai Grand i10 Nios (₹6.00 lakh): 83 PS, 20 kmpl, premium cabin but less fuel efficiency.
- Tata Tiago (₹4.99 lakh): 86 PS, 20 kmpl, cheaper but less features.
- Maruti Baleno (₹6.70 lakh): 90 PS, 22 kmpl, more space but more expensive.
The Swift’s mileage and safety features make it better than the Tiago, but the Grand i10 Nios has a premium cabin, and the Baleno offers more space for families.
Know before you buy
The Maruti Swift 2025 has an affordable starting price of ₹6.49 lakh, but the top variant at ₹9.64 lakh is more expensive than the Baleno (₹6.70 lakh), which offers more space. The 163mm ground clearance can be a pain on bad roads. Mileage can drop to 20 kmpl in heavy traffic. There are five seats, but space will be tight on long journeys with five people seated. The three-cylinder engine isn’t as fun as the old four-cylinder, and cabin quality could have been better for the price. Maruti has a service network across 4,500+ cities, but the 1-star Global NCAP rating (adults and children) may worry some buyers.
