Mumbai: A premium hatchback, the Maruti Suzuki Swift, has achieved the extraordinary milestone of three million sales in India. A driver's delight for four generations, the iconic car has established its glorious legacy and consistently delivered an unmatched driving experience and outstanding performance. Designed for the youthful and spirited, Swift has ignited a passionate community of like-minded ‘Swifters’ who share a love for driving. The launch of the Epic New Swift in May 2024 has created new benchmarks and propelled the revered Swift legacy to its three million sales milestone.

Commenting on the momentous occasion,  Maruti Suzuki India Ltd senior executive officer, marketing & sales Partho Banerjee said, “The Swift has been more than just a car to the millions who have owned it – it has been a symbol of fun, freedom and exhilaration. With each new generation, the Swift has continued to raise the bar, offering cutting-edge technology, contemporary style, and that unmistakable 'Swift DNA' which continues to captivate customers.

Inspired by the iconic Suzuki Hayabusa motorcycle, the Swift was ahead of its time when it was launched in 2005 with segment-first features such as climate control, airbags and anti-lock braking system (ABS).

The brand has achieved over 6.5 million sales worldwide, with India being Swift's largest market.
