Maruti Suzuki has re-launched a limited edition version of the very popular Swift hatchback. Christened as the DLX and based on the entry level Swift Lxi and Swift Ldi trims, the special edition car gets a sporty look.

The new model features some cosmetic updates both at exterior and inside the cabin. At exterior, the additional features include body coloured ORVMs and door handles and blackened out pillars. Inside, the new model features Sony FM music system with Bluetooth, USB and front door speakers. Compare to the front door power window available in Swift Lxi, all the four doors in DLX are equipped with power windows.


The Swift DLX also sports safety features like engine immobilizer, smart warning indicators, I-Cats security system, child safety lock, etc. Though the car features cosmetic and feature updates, on the mechanical front it remains the same. The hatchback runs on 14-inch tubeless tyres. 

On the petrol front, power source is a 1.2 litre K Series VVT engine mated to a 5 speed manual transmission. It churns out 83 bhp of peak power and 115 Nm of peak torque. The diesel car is powered by a 1.3 litre turbocharged DDiS engine paired with a 5 speed manual gearbox. It generates 74 bhp of peak power and 190 Nm of peak torque.

The Swift DLX starts with Rs. 4.80 lakh for the petrol and likely around Rs. 6 lakh for the diesel. Maruti Suzuki is gearing up to launch the new generation Swift based Dzire sedan sometime in Q3 2017 while the hatchback can be expected in 2018. But before that, this limited edition model is expected to further boost sales of the Swift nameplate.
