India’s largest carmaker Maruti Suzuki’s Swift has crossed sales of two lakh units thus becoming one of the fastest selling models in India since its launch three years ago to achieve this milestone.
“Maruti Swift has attained new benchmarks very swiftly. It has emerged as the fastest selling car in India by completing the two-lakh units sales mark in less than 36 months,” a company official said.
The company launched this premium hatchback in petrol variant on May 25, 2005. In its first year of launch, it clocked sales of 61,200 units.
“The popularity of petrol version inspired the company to launch a diesel variant in January 2007, powered by much acclaimed and the most compact diesel engine in its category,” he said.
Currently 60 per cent of ‘Swift’ produced, are in diesel variant.
