The eagerly awaited Maruti Swift Hybrid is likely to arrive in the Indian market by September 2025. Although not officially confirmed yet, multiple reports and leaked test details point towards the launch of this strong hybrid hatchback later this year. With an aim to combine city-friendly performance and segment-best mileage, the Swift Hybrid could be a big leap forward in India’s budget hybrid space.
Expected Powertrain and Performance
The Swift Hybrid is likely to use a 1.2-litre 3-cylinder Z-series petrol engine paired with an electric motor. This strong hybrid setup may enable electric-only short drives and deliver around 91 PS of power and 118 Nm torque. Transmission options could include a 5-speed manual and an eCVT unit.
Fuel Efficiency Could Be Its Biggest USP
One of the standout figures is its rumored mileage expected to be above 30 kmpl, with some reports claiming up to 33 or even 35 kmpl. If accurate, it would make the Swift Hybrid one of the most fuel-efficient cars on Indian roads.
Premium Features & Possible ADAS Tech
The car is expected to get a larger infotainment screen with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, digital cluster, automatic climate control, and keyless entry. Higher variants may include ADAS features such as lane departure warning and adaptive cruise control although this is still speculative.
Expected Price and Variants
Prices are expected to start around ₹10 lakh and could go up to ₹13 lakh (ex-showroom). While costlier than the regular Swift, it reflects the additional hybrid tech and premium features.
