The Swift will also see minor mechanical changes. Sources say that engineers have made tweaks to the power and torque outputs of the car to extract higher fuel efficiency.

The Swift currently delivers an ARAI rated efficiency of 18.6 kmpl (petrol) and 22.9 kmpl (diesel).

Expect the newer model to better these figures by a small margin. However, the hardware - 1.2-litre K Series petrol and 1.3L DDiS diesel - will be the same.

The updated Swift is expected to be accompanied by a slight increase in prices.
