In order to cash in on the festive season, Maruti has introduced a new Swift special edition. Priced from Rs 4.99 lakh (ex-showroom), the model costs the same as the base-spec Swift LXi/LDi but comes with additional equipment as part of the special edition package.

Maruti has added a single-din Bluetooth stereo with two speakers and black painted wheel caps on the base Swift variant at no extra cost. Additionally, the car comes with front power windows, ABS, dual front airbags and rear parking sensors as standard equipment.

The special edition Swift is available with either the 83hp,1.2-litre petrol or the 75hp, 1.3-litre diesel engine option. The AMT gearbox is not on offer on this variant.

The Swift takes on the likes of the Hyundai Grand i10 and the Ford Figo.
