Suzuki Swift Sport Prices
The Swift Sport is priced at $ 23,990(Rs. 12.62 lakhs) for the manual variant and $25,990(Rs. 13.66 lakhs) for the CVT version. There are no signs of Maruti Suzuki launching anything close to Swift Sport in India in near future. Swift Sport is more of an aspirational vehicle which does not see any considerable market in India, so the same has been kept away from the Indian shores. Also at present, there is too much pressure on Maruti Suzuki for the production of Maruti Swift 2011 as there are many pending deliveries of the cars for the customers who have been bearing long waiting period.
