Maruti Suzuki has updated the on‑road price of its popular Swift model in Manipal for July 2026, setting it at ₹7,08,000. The figure includes all regulatory fees, GST, insurance, and a nominal loan fee, making it attractive to first‑time buyers in Udupi district.
The revised price comes after the brand’s earlier launch in Karnataka, where the Swift was priced at ₹7.34 lakh in 2025. The new rate reflects increased competition from local manufacturers and a push to capture the rising demand for economical yet well‑equipped hatchbacks. The car retains its 1.2‑L petrol engine, 5‑speed manual gearbox, and a suite of safety features that include dual airbags and a rear‑view camera.
With the price adjustment, local dealers anticipate a boost in sales volume, as more consumers in Manipal and surrounding villages turn to compact cars for daily commuting. The move also underscores Maruti’s continued focus on market penetration across South Indian regions amid rising consumer purchasing power.
