The 2020 Maruti Swift facelift (2020 Suzuki Swift facelift) has been launched in Japan. The new small hatchback has a starting price of JPY 15,35,600 or INR 10.88 lakh (INR 10,88,397.14) in the company’s home market.
The new Swift facelift features a refreshed exterior design. Suzuki has equipped it with a newly designed front grille.

As in the old model, there are two alloy wheel options, with the sportier one featuring a two-tone finish.
Suzuki offers the Swift facelift 2020 in two new dual-tone colour options: Flame Orange Pearl metallic with Black roof and Rush Yellow metallic with Silver roof. On the inside, there’s an upgraded 4.2-inch colour MID that, unlike in the old car, displays the speed as well. Also new is a 360-degree around-view monitor for easier parking.
