New Maruti Swift 2024 vs Rivals: Price Comparison

The new Maruti Swift 2024 has been launched in India with prices ranging between Rs 6.49 lakh and Rs 9.65 lakh (ex-showroom). Its only direct rival is the Hyundai Grand i10 Nios but it is also an alternative to the Renault Triber MPV and Tata Punch micro-SUV.

Petrol-manual

• The new Maruti Swift has the highest entry-level price of all the cars here, and the base-variant of the direct rival undercuts it by Rs 57,000.

• Of this varied list, the Tata Punch has the highest price for the top variant while the top-spec Swift is more expensive than the top-spec Grand i10 by a lakh. The Triber is more expensive than the Hyundai hatchback but more affordable than the Maruti and Tata offerings on this list.

• The Swift, Grand i10 Nios and Punch are powered by a 1.2-litre petrol engine mated to a 5-speed manual with performance. Tata’s engine is the most powerful at 88 PS of the three but the newly introduced 3-cylinder engine in the Maruti hatchback is the most fuel efficient.

• Meanwhile, the Renault Triber MPV crossover only comes with a 1-litre petrol engine mated to a 5-speed manual, making 72 PS.

• The Punch is the only model here to offer a sunroof, but the Swift and Grand i10 Nios get six airbags as standard. You get the biggest touchscreen infotainment unit with the new Swift (9-inches) and the only one with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

• Renault’s MPV has the least impressive feature list overall but the only one here with the capacity to seat seven including the driver.

• The Grand i10 Nios and Punch also get the choice of a factory-fitted CNG option. While the new Maruti Swift does not get it yet, a CNG option is expected to be introduced later on. However, the Triber does not get the CNG option at all.

Petrol-automatic

• If you’re looking for the convenience of an automatic transmission, the Hyundai hatchback is the most affordable option here and the Renault MPV is the most expensive. 

• The entry-level Swift AMT is pricier by nearly Rs 40,000 than the Grand i10 Nios. Its top variant is more expensive than the top-spec Hyundai hatchback by a lakh in this regard as well.

• Tata’s Punch AMT is the most expensive car here in its top variant. The Punch automatic also gets traction modes in the top-spec automatic variants.

• Every model here offers a 5-speed AMT for their engines.

Final Thoughts

The new Maruti Swift has become more expensive in this new-generation avatar, notably more than its direct rival - the Hyundai Grand i10 Nios. Meanwhile, the Tata Punch is more expensive in its top variants but not the most feature-rich. In comparison, the Renault Triber MPV is only suited for those who specifically need a 7-seater on a tight budget.
