The Maruti Swift has been a middle-class Indian family favorite for years—admired for its city-friendly size, fuel economy, and value. But imagine if the urban hatchback were given a rough-around-the-edges twist. Welcome to the Suzuki Swift AllGrip FX, a new, off-the-beaten-path Suzuki Netherlands concept that turns its popular Swift into a soft-roading, all-wheel-drive (AWD) vehicle. Though it isn't designed for hardcore off-road use, it's designed for drivers who want a little more thrills for more than just urban driving.
Swift AllGrip FX: What’s New?
The Maruti Swift AllGrip FX trades its urban heritage for rural ability. Here's why it's different:
- AllGrip AWD System: The system automatically redistributes power between front and rear wheels, providing enhanced traction on slippery or uneven ground such as mud or gravel.
- Raised Ground Clearance: With the suspension raised by 32mm and 195/55R16 all-season tyres, the Swift FX tackles light trails and bumpy tracks with no issues.
- Soft-Roading Ready: Not really a full-on SUV, but definitely more than your typical hatchback.

Powertrain Features
Beneath the bonnet, the Swift AllGrip FX is equipped with a 1.2L three-cylinder Z12E naturally aspirated petrol motor producing 79.8 HP and 112 Nm torque. Coupled to a 5-speed manual transmission, it's optimized for stability rather than speed.
Conclusion
Though Maruti Suzuki is not currently selling this AWD model in India, the concept does have legs. With the increased popularity for good and adventure-suitable cars, a locally available version of the Maruti Swift AllGrip FX would prove to be popular among Indian car buyers seeking both style and functionality.
