Limited edition Maruti Suzuki Swift RS launched

Sportier version of the popular hatchback

The only other limited edition Swift model India has seen in recent times was the one million edition, which celebrated the company’s sale of a million cars. To be very honest it was a rather poor aesthetic commemoration of a very commercially successful car. Sportier versions of the Swift hatchback however have been pleasing crowds at international motor show for years now, leading to the fundamental question, which is “When are they coming to India?”

Well the 'Car Gods' have answered to that question with the entry of the third generation Swift hatch in India with new styling and graphics that give it a distinct sporty character and looks. There’s that slight Volkswagen world rally car inspiration to the choice of black and blue colours, and a RS badge which is reminiscent of the brand with the four rings.

The exterior comprises of 3 piece aerodynamics package doing a front rear enrichment, rear roof spoiler and fluorescent color theme to give it a sportier feel and attract the younger generations. The is also attached with black alloy wheels, first of its kind in Indian  market.

On the inside the Swift RS provides its passengers with upholstery crafted in art leather with black and blue colour combinations like on the outside. The floor mats carry forward the same rally RS theme. For entertainment purposes the special edition Swift has a high-end music system with CD player, AUX-in and USB facility. 

With an extra payment of Rs.24,000 the price is undoubtedly justified. But Swift RS is entirely concentrated towards younger customer so its reach for appeal is completely subjective to the personal's taste.
