The petrol mill develops 83bhp at 6,000rpm and 115Nm of torque at 4,000rpm, while diesel unit belts out 73bhp at 4,000rpm and 190Nm of torque at 2,000rpm. A five-speed manual gearbox comes mated to both mills, while the diesel unit is also offered with five-speed AMT.

The limited edition looks like a move from Maruti Suzuki to keep the product fresh until the arrival of next generation, which is expected in the second half of 2017. The new Swift DZire was caught on camera countless times while undergoing tests and in its new avatar, the sedan will boast changes both inside and outside. The design of the new DZire will be in line with the new Swift hatchback, which Suzuki launched in Japan in December.
