2024 Maruti Suzuki Swift Features
It is worth noting that Suzuki Swift sold in Japan comes with the ADAS suite, which offers safety features like Adaptive Cruise Control, Driver Monitoring System, Adaptive High Beam Assist, Lane Keep Supporting Function, Dual Sensor Brake Support and Road Sign Recognition Function. Apart from this, this hatchback gets a rear cross-traffic alert, blind spot monitor, 360-degree camera and start notification sound.
However, these features will not be available in the new 2024 Maruti Swift to be launched in India during the second week of May. It will be slightly different from the Japan-spec Swift.

However, Suzuki’s new Z-series petrol engine can offer better fuel efficiency than the current engine of Swift. The length of the new 2024 Maruti Swift can be 3860mm, width 1695mm and height 1500mm.
