Swift 2021 Latest Update - All You Need To Know

Suzuki’s popular Swift has been around for many years. After all, the Japanese manufacturer has been giving it all the important touches and updates over time, making it seem fresh and ageless.

After its latest update in 2016, the Suzuki Swift has now been launched in Japan with many changes and we could expect to see this in India towards the last quarter of 2020. Not only are the updates just cosmetic, we expect to see some changes related to engine and performance too!

Expected Features: The new Swift won’t have too many significant changes in terms of looks. Small changes like

a new grille and a redesigned front bumper could make it look like it got a much needed change but the overall look remains the same. Images also suggest a new look in terms of skirts and new alloy wheels. Auto folding ORVMs, cruise control feature, a new 4.2 inch MID colour display and new upholstery to refresh the feel inside could be a part of the new Facelifted Swift. However, not much could be said about additions in terms of safety features as they remain the same. Electronic Stability Control and hill hold assist could new additions to the AMT variants.

Price:
The new facelifted Maruti Suzuki Swift is expected to cost Rs. 20,000 more than the outgoing model. So prices could start at around 5.5 Lakhs and go all the way upto Rs. 8.20 Lakhs (Ex- Showroom Delhi).

Engine and Performance: The new Facelifted Maruti Suzuki Swift 2021 could be launched with a 1.2-litre DualJet petrol engine as seen on the facelifted Maruti Suzuki Dzire. The new engine produces 90PS power, 7PS more than the current Swift’s petrol engine while the torque remains unchanged at 113NM. We do think that’s a good step taken towards offering more power.

In terms of fuel efficiency, we expect the new Swift to fetch similar mileage figures as the existing Maruti Suzuki Swift. Howver, the engine in question comes with an idle start-stop feature which could help improve overall fuel efficiency. Speaking of the transmission, Maruti will continue to offer the facelifted Swift the 5 speed manual and AMT gearbox. Keeping in mind the BS6 norms, there would be no diesel engine on offer in the facelifted Swift.

So, would the new Facelifted Maruti Suzuki Swift make you want to buy it? Or, would you consider any of the other hatchbacks in the market like the Hyundai Grand i10 Nios, Ford Figo, Ford Freestyle, Hyundai i20 and the Volkswagen Polo?

Jeep Compass Facelift Interior and Exterior Teased Ahead official Unvil

Jeep Compass Facelift Interior and Exterior teased ahead of official unveil on Guangzhou International Motor Show 2020 at China.

The first images of the 2021 premium compact SUV Jeep Compass facelift have been leaked online a few weeks ago. The leaked images of the new model are from China. The facelifted model is expected to make its world premiere later this month in that country.

Exterior:

At first glance, the headlamps get minor design tweaks, with a slightly more angular treatment. The headlamp inserts too are new and the Headlamps themselves are expected to be

full-LED units on most variants.

The seven-slat grille design gets more prominent honeycomb-like inserts. The front bumper is all-new with a curvy contrast-black insert placed above the front air-dam connecting both fog lamp units. The new bumper does not feature separate LED daytime running lamps, which means they will now be integrated into the headlight units.

The new Compass Trailhawk will also come with a unique front bumper design along with an all-black grille, dual-tone hood and the trademark red hooks upfront. The refreshed Compass Trailhawk also gets new-look 18” alloy wheels.

At the rear though, the changes are minimal with the mildly re-profiled tail-lamps and the new inserts.

Interior:

The new Jeep Compass facelift is expected to receive a much-larger 10.1-inch touchscreen U-Connect5 infotainment system with few connected care facilities as well.

It is also likely that the top-spec variants will receive a fully digital instrument cluster as well. While the rest of the dashboard will have no design changes, the material quality is expected to be improved significantly.

Engines:

The new Jeep Compass will continue with the current set of engine and gearbox options. The 1.4L Multi-Air Petrol engine will be mated to either a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed DCT whereas the 2.0L turbo-diesel will be mated to either a 6-speed manual or a 9-speed torque converter automatic transmission.

The Jeep Compass is a rival for the likes of the Tata Harrier, Hyundai Tucson, MG Hector and Mahindra XUV500.

Stay tuned for further updates on the new Jeep Compass facelift.
