Maruti Suzuki has officially confirmed that the company will introduce Swift's next-generation model the following month. This is all the information we currently know about the new Swift, which is going to be released in India around the second week of May. In October 2023, the new Swift made its debut at the Japan Mobility Show in Tokyo. It has now been introduced in a few European markets, the UK, and Japan. This helps us understand which features would be omitted for India while also providing us with a sneak peek at the features of the new Swift. These are the top 5 attributes that the Maruti Suzuki Swift headed for India will not get over the Suzuki Swift available in the UK.
4-wheel drive
The UK-specific Swift reportedly is an all-wheel-drive (AWD) version of the Suzuki Swift. Enthusiasts would sacrifice everything for this trait since it makes for superior handling. This will be omitted, though, since the Maruti Suzuki Swift is a mass-market vehicle, and installing an AWD system will raise the cost.
ADAS feature
The UK-spec Suzuki Swift is equipped with an increasingly widespread function that is seen in cars both in India and throughout the world: ADAS. Although ADAS is a feature of some cars, including the Creta, Seltos, Venue, and others, it will raise the price of the Maruti Suzuki Swift in India, making the mass-market model pricey.

16-inch wheels
As we talk about tires, not many drivers are aware of how size can be a matter of concern for cars. Although 16-inch alloy wheels might not seem like much, they look good and help to close the space between the wheel arch. Maruti Suzuki will probably provide 15-inch wheels rather than 16-inch ones for India. There could be a few reasons for this. One is that larger tires are more expensive and raise the cost of the automobile. Another is that considering the state of our roads, they simply allow the suspension to go farther.
The parking brake is electronic.
When opposed to cable-operated brakes, electronic parking brakes are more effective, and Maruti Suzuki exclusively provides this function on the Invicto. It makes it reasonable that Maruti Suzuki will take the "why fix it when it ain't broke" approach, even if it might not significantly increase costs.
Heated chairs
Although heated seats are a no-go because India is a hot country and would be more suited for the UK, cooled seats might be something to think about in this country. Given the circumstances, the UK-spec Swift has heated front seats; however, chilled seats would be a nice addition.
