Maruti Suzuki Swift has crossed the 30 lakh sales milestone in India. Currently in its fourth generation that was recently launched, the Swift has achieved the landmark in 19 years since it first went on sale in 2005.
- Swift has been on sale in India for almost two decades
- Recently launched fourth-gen version helps cross 30 lakh sales
The Swift crossed the 25 lakh sales milestone in September 2021, which means it took the car under three years to record a sale of 5 lakh units in the country. The hatchback has been one of the top sellers for Maruti in India. Despite the onslaught of affordable SUVs in recent years, the Swift continues to be the one of the top hatchback choices for buyers.
