Do note that this is for the Japanese spec model and the India spec Swift could be different in terms of equipment plus some features. That said, the 4 star crash test rating is quite impressive for the Japanese market spec Swift and bodes well for expectations for our market even though the spec could be different.

The Swift is coming next month and will be launched with a new 1.2l petrol engine with more fuel efficiency while it will get new interiors along with more features like 6 airbags, more connected car tech etc. The new generation Swift launch is days away while more information regarding the India spec version would be revealed closer to its India launch date which is in May 2024. The India crash tests of the car if submitted for testing would be carried by Bharat NCAP of course.
