The wait is finally over for driving enthusiasts across India as Maruti Suzuki launches the highly anticipated Maruti Swift Sports. Known for its practicality and efficiency over the years, the Swift now takes a bold leap into the performance segment — all while maintaining the value and reliability that made it one of India’s best-selling hatchbacks.
Priced aggressively from just ₹8.99 lakhs (ex-showroom), the Maruti Swift Sports brings genuine sporty credentials to Indian roads, making performance driving accessible for a much wider audience. This new sporty hatchback could very well redefine the affordable performance car segment in India.
Sporty Design That Speaks Performance, Not Loudness
The Maruti Swift Sports stands out with a design that’s sporty yet tasteful. It features a redesigned front bumper with a large honeycomb grille, enhancing airflow and adding to the aggressive look. The hood flaunts subtle power bulges hinting at the turbocharged power beneath.
Distinctive LED headlamps with daytime running lights and carbon-fiber-look trims add sporty accents without going overboard. Exclusive 16-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels, side skirts, a roof-mounted spoiler, and a diffuser-style rear bumper with dual exhaust tips complete the athletic appearance.
You’ll find five exterior colors, including exclusive shades like “Champion Yellow” and “Burning Red” for those who want to stand out, while blacked-out A-pillars and an optional black roof give it a floating roof effect and further enhance the sporty vibe.
Driver-Centric Interior That’s Both Sporty and Practical
Inside, the Maruti Swift Sports offers a driver-focused cabin with sporty touches that don’t compromise everyday usability. Sports seats with leather and suede-effect upholstery, red contrast stitching, and bolstered support keep you comfortable during spirited drives.
The flat-bottomed, perforated leather steering wheel with red stitching and a center marker adds a racing feel. Red highlights are sprinkled throughout the dashboard, air vents, and gear lever, giving the interior a cohesive sporty atmosphere.
A 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system with SmartPlay Pro+ supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and includes a unique performance display showing power, torque, g-forces, and even a lap timer — perfect for enthusiasts.

Performance That Excites Without Breaking the Bank
At the heart of the Maruti Swift Sports is a 1.4-liter BoosterJet turbocharged petrol engine delivering 138 horsepower and 230 Nm torque — a massive jump over the standard Swift’s engine. Thanks to its lightweight 970 kg body, it rockets from 0-100 km/h in just 8.1 seconds, reaching a top speed of 205 km/h.
The car comes standard with a precise 6-speed manual gearbox, while a 6-speed automatic with paddle shifters is also available, catering to city drivers who want sportiness without clutch work. The automatic is just 0.2 seconds slower in the sprint and features a sport mode for a more engaging drive.
Even with its sporty upgrades, fuel efficiency stays respectable at 16.4 km/l for the manual and 15.8 km/l for the automatic, making it practical for daily use.
Handling and Chassis Tuned for Fun and Control
The Maruti Swift Sports boasts a lowered and stiffened suspension setup, thicker anti-roll bars, and recalibrated power steering for sharper handling and better feedback. Larger ventilated front brakes and bigger rear discs replace the standard drums, providing confident stopping power.
Exclusive Continental SportContact tires and a mechanical limited-slip differential help transfer power efficiently, especially during corner exits and wet conditions. The electronic stability control also has a “Sport” mode that allows more slip before intervening, perfect for enthusiasts pushing limits safely.
Safety and Convenience Features That Impress
Safety hasn’t been compromised. The Maruti Swift Sports comes with six airbags, ABS with EBD, Brake Assist, hill hold control, and ISOFIX child seat mounts. Built on Maruti’s HEARTECT platform, it offers a strong safety cage made with high-tensile steel.
Tech features include LED headlamps, a reverse camera with dynamic guidelines, climate control with rear vents, cruise control, and remote engine start for automatic variants — making it convenient and comfortable in Indian conditions.
Practical Ownership with Maruti’s Reliability
Maruti Suzuki continues to offer excellent ownership value with the Maruti Swift Sports. Service intervals remain at 10,000 km, supported by Maruti’s extensive service network. Warranty coverage is 2 years/40,000 km, extendable to 5 years/1,00,000 km.
Despite the added performance, maintenance costs and insurance remain manageable, keeping the car affordable not just to buy but also to own.
A Game-Changer for Performance Enthusiasts in India
With the Maruti Swift Sports, Maruti Suzuki has struck the perfect balance between thrilling performance, everyday practicality, and attractive pricing. It offers Indian enthusiasts an accessible hot hatch that was long overdue.
This new sporty hatchback competes strongly against rivals like the Hyundai i20 N Line and Volkswagen Polo GT, but with Maruti’s trusted brand backing and unbeatable value, it is positioned to lead the segment.
For those wanting a fun-to-drive car without compromising comfort or budget, the Maruti Swift Sports is truly a dream come true — bringing performance driving to the masses and reaffirming that sporty doesn’t always have to mean expensive.
