The New Maruti Swift 2018 model is just a few weeks away from its launch in India. Already on sale in Japan and Europe, the 2018 Swift is much than merely a cosmetic upgrade. It is built on a more modern platform, offers a better interior, and for the first time, an AMT, too. Of course, it will even offer more features and probably a higher mileage. Ahead of its launch at the Auto Expo 2018 next month, the 2018 Swift has been spied totally uncamouflaged.
