2024 Maruti Suzuki Swift: Check Out The One-Above-Base VXI Variant In 8 Images

The fourth-gen 2024 Maruti Suzuki Swift is offered in five broad trims: LXI, VXI, VXI (O), ZXI and ZXI+. While you might have seen the top-end car across the internet, this report is for those who are considering the lower-end variants. We have sourced the VXI variant images and here’s a deep dive into the one-above-base model. 

Exterior Design 

Up front, the 2024 Swift VXI’s overall design is similar to the top-end model, with the grille dominating the face, flanked by projector headlights. But keen-eyed readers will notice that the headlights here rely on halogen bulbs and the DRLs are replaced by a chrome strip. Look closely and you’ll notice the absence of fog lamps, which are limited to the ZXI+ variant. 

In profile, the most conspicuous thing is the presence of 14-inch steel wheels with plastic covers. Alloys are offered from the higher-end ZXI variant onwards. Other highlights of the VXI variant are the body-coloured door handles and ORVMs, the latter with turn indicators mounted on it. 

The rear-end looks similar to the top-end model with clear lens LED tail lamps. Zoom in the image and you will notice that this variant misses out on a rear washer and wiper. That said, it still gets a rear defogger.

Interior Design And Features  

Inside, the 2024 Maruti Suzuki Swift VXI’s dashboard layout is similar to the top-end model, but this being a lower-spec variant, there are some obvious differences. For starters, it lacks the silver strip that’s offered in the higher-end models, giving a nice visual contrast. Look closely and you’ll notice that you get a normal TFT multi-info display instead of a coloured-one. 

The good news is that you get a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Music is routed through a 4-speaker sound system and you even get steering-mounted audio controls for added convenience. And despite being a lower-end model, it still comes packing a climate control.

Other highlight features include remote locking, all-four power windows, electrically adjustable ORVMs, USB charging port (in the front), six airbags, ABS with EBD, electronic stability control and rear parking sensors. Bits such as cruise control, push-button start and rear parking camera are all limited to higher-end variants. 

Engine Option 

Underneath the hood, the 2024 Swift VXI is powered by the new 1.2-litre three-cylinder petrol engine developing 82PS and 112Nm. This is the lowest variant to pack a 5-speed AMT, which is available alongside the 5-speed manual. 

As for ‘kitna deti hai?’, the Swift manual returns 24.8kmpl while the AMT delivers 25.75kmpl.
