Swift's new version with a brand new engine, subtle styling updates and some additional features launched globally after Japan debut.

Prices for the new-gen Swift in India start from Rs 6.49 lakh and go up to Rs 9.65 lakh (ex-showroom). It locks horns with the Hyundai Grand i10 Nios.

The Indian spec missed out various features compared to its Japanese counterpart. Lets have a look on some of the equipment it lacks.

[{"selector":"#anim-ae00d1bf-29ce-480d-b5df-a4ed3ff9f03c","keyframes":[{"offset":0,"transform":"translate3d(0, -174.39118%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(.5, 0, 1, 1)"},{"offset":0.29,"transform":"translate3d(0, 0%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(0, 0, .5, 1)"},{"offset":0.45,"transform":"translate3d(0, -49.038799816%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(.5, 0, 1, 1)"},{"offset":0.61,"transform":"translate3d(0, 0%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(0, 0, .5, 1)"},{"offset":0.71,"transform":"translate3d(0, -16.671796808%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(.5, 0, 1, 1)"},{"offset":0.8,"transform":"translate3d(0, 0%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(0, 0, .5, 1)"},{"offset":0.85,"transform":"translate3d(0, -6.260643362%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(.5, 0, 1, 1)"},{"offset":0.92,"transform":"translate3d(0, 0%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(0, 0, .5, 1)"},{"offset":0.96,"transform":"translate3d(0, -2.7205024079999998%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(.5, 0, 1, 1)"},{"offset":1,"transform":"translate3d(0, 0%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(0, 0, .5, 1)"}],"delay":0,"duration":600,"fill":"both"}]

The Indian model misses out the heated front seats due to its warm climate, which is one of the most convenient feature in the Japanese swift

[{"selector":"#anim-6b8887a0-3156-4538-aa11-e3d385984ac8","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(1)","scale(1.5)","scale(0.95)","scale(1)"],"offset":[0,0.33,0.66,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1450,"easing":"ease-in-out","fill":"both","iterations":1}]

Unlike India's Swift, the global model gets a mild-hybrid system for better fuel economy and extra power.

[{"selector":"#anim-e78d54f2-071e-41ee-9610-ad39d92092f1","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-22364504-c51f-41db-925f-3597bedc7df7","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

India's Swift skips 4 colors offered in Japan counterpart including unique shades like Cool Yellow Metallic, Caravan Ivory Metallic, and Super Black Pearl and a monotone option like Cool Yellow with a black roof

[{"selector":"#anim-69cebf7d-7dcf-4fa5-8a08-5c1c69521ce3","keyframes":{"transform":["rotate(-540deg) scale(0.1)","none"],"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"fill":"both","iterations":1}]

For India's Swift, safety features like adaptive cruise control, driver monitoring system, high beam assist and auto hold brakes are missing compared to the Japan model.

[{"selector":"#anim-1a6dda80-ad9b-4185-b4d1-dba59af127f0","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-100%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b9fea9df-b928-4ae9-b769-66d32f6d9def","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d5e81a63-4907-44a5-9a1d-535c7a817656","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Unlike India's front-wheel drive only Swift, Japan offers AWD for their hybrid models.

[{"selector":"#anim-a5299c67-37fe-4dff-80d1-64dbb7c678e7","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(84.25358%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e60f6dcf-b39b-4c27-8b16-9d157dda2f70","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7351dca6-ab23-4c8c-aec8-7b90ada3c83f","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]
