The base variant of the UK-bound Swift gets 6 airbags, 16-inch alloy wheels, Apple Carplay and Android Auto as standard. Meanwhile, the top-spec variant will come with Dual Sensor Brake Support, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Traffic Sign Recognition and Paddle Shifters. However, the 2021 Maruti Suzuki Swift will not be getting these features due to cost-cutting making it more affordable.
