The Maruti Swift has always been more than just a hatchback in India. For many young buyers, it’s their first “fun” car — compact, sporty, and easy to live with. With the 2026 facelift, Maruti Suzuki has refreshed the Swift in a way that feels modern without losing its original charm. It still targets people who want a stylish daily driver, but now it promises better efficiency, improved refinement, and smarter features. The Swift 2026 feels like a careful upgrade rather than a dramatic change.
Bold new styling
The Maruti Swift Facelift 2026 carries a sharper and more confident look than before. The redesigned front grille, sleeker LED headlamps, and updated bumper give it a wider and sportier stance. From the side, the car retains its floating roof effect but now gets refreshed alloy wheel designs that add to its youthful appeal. Small detailing changes at the rear, including updated tail lamps, make it look more premium while still clearly being a Swift.

Refined petrol performance
Under the hood, the new 1.2-litre Z Series petrol engine brings noticeable refinement. Producing around 90 BHP, it feels smooth and responsive in city traffic while remaining comfortable on highways. The engine is tuned for both performance and fuel efficiency, and the reduced vibrations make everyday driving more relaxed. Buyers can choose between a 5-speed manual transmission for more control or an AMT option for convenience in stop-and-go traffic.
Impressive everyday mileage
One of the biggest highlights of the Swift 2026 is its claimed mileage of up to 30 kmpl. For a petrol hatchback with this level of performance, that figure makes it extremely attractive to daily commuters. The lightweight platform and improved engine efficiency help stretch every litre of fuel. With a 37-litre fuel tank, the Swift can comfortably handle long drives without frequent refuelling stops, making it practical for both city and occasional highway trips.
Pricing and value
The Maruti Swift Facelift 2026 is expected to start at around ₹6.50 lakh (ex-showroom), keeping it within reach of first-time buyers. Mid variants are likely to be priced in the ₹8 lakh range, while the top models may go close to ₹9.80 lakh. AMT versions will carry a slight premium over the manual trims. Considering Maruti’s wide service network, strong resale value, and the Swift’s improved features, the pricing makes it a solid value-for-money package in the premium hatchback segment.
