Swift One Million Edition

By Kaustubh Shinde

It seems that Maruti is celebrating anything and everything that comes its way. Few days ago they launched the Ritz Genus to commemorate the first anniversary of Ritz. Not even a week has gone by and they are at it again with the Swift ‘One Million Edition’.

Maruti-Suzuki achieved a landmark sales figure of one million vehicles back in late March. As the one millionth vehicle to roll of the production line was a Swift, the company decided to make the limited edition model of the Swift. Mind you, there is already a limited edition of Swift called ‘Swift Glam’ which was launched way back in 2009. The company said that this ‘One Million Edition’ will be restricted only to 1,000 units

So for an extra Rs 24,000 you get:

* A signature `Goldsmith Black` color (the pics are above so you be the judge)
* Alpine integrated stereo with USB and Kenwood speakers
* Unique (read weird) decals on the body
* Leather upholstery
* Foot-mats and cushions (I mean come onn!!)

Now look, when your selling features include foot-mats and cushions, it is about time you give your product and complete revamp. What’s next? A limited edition SX4 to celebrate the launch of the new Wagon R or EECO? :P
