According to the company, the launch of the epic new Swift in May has set new standards and taken the iconic Swift legacy to the 30 lakh sales milestone.

Partho Banerjee, senior executive officer, marketing and sales, Maruti Suzuki India said in a statement on Friday.

“This achievement fills us with immense gratitude and we are grateful to all Swift owners across the country,” he said.

Inspired by the iconic Suzuki Hayabusa motorcycle, the Swift was launched in 2005 with segment-first features like climate control, airbags and anti-lock braking system (ABS).

The brand has achieved over 6.5 million sales globally, with India being Swift's largest market.

The company noted that the Swift had crossed the one million sales mark in 2013 within eight years of its launch and crossed the two million sales mark in 2018.

In May, the carmaker launched the fourth-generation epic new Swift in the country at a starting price of Rs 6.49 lakh (ex-showroom).
