Callout:
Sloping dash stylish but impractical, no storage recesses

Plastics quality best yet in a Maruti

Multi-information display reduced to clock for India

Twin airbags will be standard on the top version

Large roof radii coupled with gutterless profile lends a distinctive look

Blacked out ‘A’-pillar simulates a wraparound windscreen

Furthering the movement towards vertical lamps: Great!

Good wheel-well to wheel stance

Trailing rear lamps a first in its class and usually seen on concepts only.
Bold and welcome

A slightly awkward foglamp and bottom grille combination compared to maturity of overall styling

Fighter-style ‘turret.’ Aircraft-type greenhouse accentuation

Lovely chamfers to hatch and bumper ends

DESIGNER’S VIEW
We asked renowned designer Dilip Chhabria for his opinion on the Swift’s looks.
Here’s what he said...

“Cheeky, bold, highly distinctive. Achieving a rare emotion quotient, especially
for the Suzuki stable. Mini meets Megane!”
