  • New features include a 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system, 360-degree camera, 6 airbags, and ADAS tech.

  • Expected to arrive in 2024 and priced from Rs 6 lakh (ex-showroom) onwards.

The new-generation Suzuki Swift has been officially revealed in Japan shortly after it debuted as a close-to-production concept. Suzuki recently revealed the powertrain details and many of the updated features of its new-gen compact hatchback. While the India-spec model will have its differences, much of the Japan-spec hatchback will make its way to our shores as well. Let’s explore all the changes it features over the outgoing model currently sold here:

Front

While the overall fascia remains familiar, the grille has been tweaked with a more rounded design, a new honeycomb pattern, a U-shaped chrome strip on the bottom half, and the Suzuki logo now placed on the bonnet. The headlights have also been revamped with L-shaped DRLs, and the bumper design has been completely changed with new housing for the LED fog lamps and a chrome strip at the bottom.

The overall silhouette of the Swift remains the same, but the rear door handles are now mounted on the door instead of on the C-pillar, as in the India-spec version. Additionally, the 2024 version gets stylish dual-tone alloy wheels.

Rear

The changes to the rear are subtle but thorough. The tail lamps and boot lip have been slightly reworked for a sharper look. The bumper is brand new and features a black and chrome design with sleek reflector panels.

The climate control panel is now the same as other Maruti models, and the AC vents are no longer rounded. The new dashboard also features a 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system, an upgrade from the 7-inch one in the current Swift.

Front Seats

The 2024 Swift comes with all-black semi-leather seats with a new design pattern. These seats also have larger contours to support the passengers.

While the detailed specifications for the fourth-gen Suzuki Swift are yet to be revealed, we know that it will get an all-new petrol engine.

Chevy Corvette ZR1 Drops Heavy Camo As Development Moves To Nurburgring [UPDATE]

Update: Added 21 additional spy photos to a new photo gallery showing C8 Corvette ZR1 prototypes in action at the Nurburgring.

The next-generation Chevrolet Corvette in ZR1 trim hasn’t exactly been a secret so far. We’ve already seen several heavily camouflaged prototypes testing in different locations around the United States. However, it seems that the automaker is now moving the development to the Old Continent. At least two different prototypes were recently caught testing on the famous Nurburgring race track.

Audi RS6 E-Tron Spied With Wide Fenders, Pizza-Sized Brake Rotors

Audi has been caught testing a prototype of its all-electric RS6 E-Tron, and the spy photos reveal some interesting details. The front of the car features wide fender flares that wouldn’t look out of place on a Ford Bronco Raptor. The tires are tall, wide, and low-profile, though their exact size is difficult to make out in the pictures. Behind the tires, there are shiny cross-drilled brake rotors that look barely small enough to fit behind the wheel. These are clearly not components you would find on a standard Audi sedan.

Moving to the back of the car, there are more unique body lines, with the quarter panels jutting out. There is also a mysterious piece of plastic across the back, which may be hiding a spoiler. Zooming in, it becomes clear that there is a broken spoiler on the right side. Additionally, there is an aggressive diffuser tucked in the back, and no exhaust pipes are visible.

All of these features lead to the conclusion that this is an Audi RS6 E-Tron prototype. It is worth noting that these spy photos are likely of a test mule rather than a finalized prototype, as the fender flares appear to be temporary and unfinished. Audi has already stated that the RS6 E-Tron will be more than just an A6 E-Tron with more power. The widebody design seen in these photos is an indication of the car’s aggressive stance and overall performance.

2025 Lamborghini Huracan Successor Spied For The First Time [UPDATE]

Update: Added 12 additional photos in a new gallery, available below.

Lamborghini is busy with the launch of the Revuelto V12 plug-in hybrid supercar and finalizing the Urus PHEV. Additionally, they are also testing the replacement for the Huracan. Car paparazzi recently captured the baby Lambo being tested on public roads. Surprisingly, the prototype seems to have the production body rather than provisional panels typically found on early test mules.

The test vehicle is easily recognizable with yellow “high-voltage” stickers, indicating its use of a hybrid powertrain. To add some amusement, Lamborghini placed stickers on the headlights to deceive the casual observer into thinking they are Gallardo headlights. However, closer inspection reveals the real lights are located lower. The front bumper features massive air intakes and incorporates hexagonal daytime running lights.
