Maruti Suzuki is the largest car manufacturer in the country on the back of products like the Swift. As a matter of fact, Swift is the highest-selling car in the country for quite some time now. With regular updates, facelifts and special edition launches, Maruti has successfully managed to keep the Swift fresh as ever. Celerio was a relatively later addition to the Maruti family. But just by being a Maruti Suzuki, it was also able to achieve quite some success. Now both these successful offerings from Maruti are receiving an update. Although it might well just be a facelift, the buzz around these products is already very strong. Let us take a look at what to expect from each of these products.

The highest-selling car in the country is due for an update and that will happen this year. The spy shots show that the front grille is covered which means that it will be a brand new design. We can expect that the new design will be similar to or inspire by the Swift on sale internationally. The front grille will definitely give the Swift a sporty stance and look. Apart from that, there may be an introduction of new alloys. Interiors are where we expect a more substantial makeover. The regular features like Digital Infotainment Touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Digital Instrument Cluster, Steering Mounted Controls, Push button start, Rear View Camera with sensors, ABS with EBD, Dual Airbags will be on offer.
