20k for these unworthy additions?
Let's see how many are going for it.


@abhinav, yeah now i got the point.

20,000 for these add-ons is quite to much, The wheelcaps, Beige interiors, Parcel Try etc should cost max 10,000 (Correct me If I'm wrong).

Stuff like Integrated Audio System, Parcel tray, remote lock are already available in ZXi. Why charge extra then? And would they remove the alloy rims of the ZXi varient and give wheel caps in them also?

20k is of no worth for these accessories and decorative items, i say instead of spending 20k, better take the vxi variant and get a limited edition sticker if you want your swift to look like swift glam

i didnt knew changed colour tones add LUXURY. Swift needs facelift. Maruti guys, i hope you are listening.

Maruti should consider bringing the Swift Sport here.

isnt this pathetic to see maruti doin this since ages on all their models started with 800 till swift now, when are they going to understand that just badging or few changes here there doesnt make it spl edition model.

@thackervijay, this is Maruti.. Or for that matter, this is India where all manufacturers get away doing this kind of stuff.

The Swift Sport will truly be welcome here, in fact, we need this car here now.

dude, in india only the stickering thing works and the engine upgrade in limited edition cars. for example look at the palio sachin tendulkar edition, alto x-fun, m800 uniq, etc etc.. no change under the hood

I don't have any problem if they don't do any mods under the hood in a L.Ed.models, but they should atleast not offer very less features with the name tag of Limited Edition!
The features should be offered which makes the car distinguish with its regular siblings.
The Limited edition which I liked yet was of corolla's, which was available in maroon color.

RoadRocket

Yeah, and that is the same case with Merc-E Class LE, the only difference from a normal E is that it is maroon colored.

Pics of Swift Glam, Nothing spl. outside but new beige interiors looks nice.

It looks fab but it would be better with full beige interiors.

personally, i dont like this guys, the interiors would have looked better if there was full beige, and atleast adding alloys would have made some sense in launching GLAM

Full beige or full black will do. This combo did't look nice i guess it is the same in Dzire.

Its not the same as DZire. It too has black interiors. Beige looked nice, but I feel alloys and some other goodies would have made it stand out. I also don't think the GLAM is available in ZXi trim.

i am okay with the interiors. the beige looks good. just that beige and silver does not gel well. i am talking about the rear door in the 4th pic.

Full beige would have looked better. They should have atleast gone for some leather interiors, alloys, skirts, if they wanted to call it a limited edition in real sense.

whats that Bimal written on left side below maruti suzuki?
it looks better then current full black interiors but nothing exceptional to say, why didnt they offer this on diesels model too,would sell more and attract even more buyers with atleast some beige in it.

I agree
I too didn't find that silver strip on the door to be much nice with beige colour.
However it looks OK with those dark interiors.

That "Bimal" might be the showroom's name or may be the owners!
About offering this in diesel versions, I believe that MSIL didn't wanted to do this in Diesel versions because if you notice most of the diesel cars doesn't comes with beige option whereas their petrol counterparts have it!

Swift dZire's interiors are much better -

The main reason for diesels not having beige interiors is that such schemes are brought in to give a boost to petrol model sales, and if the diesels get it, then people would find everything in a diesel, thereby setting back the petrol sales even more. Maruti just wants to attract buyers to petrol versions and distract them from the diesel ones.

I think this LE is not at all attractive ! Seems like a crazy marketing idea ! Swift Zxi is already attractive in its class. Probably they should try adding more features (learn from Hyndai i20) and/or even a different powerful engine. (for instance, Swift Sports version). It could have been more attractive than this.

I don't think this is the main reason, because not everyone is fond of begie interiors.
