Swift and Dzire Second Hand Price in 2026: Year-by-Year Rate List

While sub-4-metre SUVs fight for showroom attention every month, the Maruti Suzuki Swift and its booted sibling, the Dzire, still dominate India's used car market like nothing else. They share the same platform, wheelbases, front doors, and engines, yet they attract two very different crowds. One buyer wants a chuckable city hatchback that slips into tight market lanes, while the other pays extra for a family sedan with extra boot space and rear AC vents.

Rather than one wide price bracket that tells you very little, the Swift and Dzire second hand price in 2026 breaks down into different generational bands:

• 2nd-Gen Era (2011 to 2017 K12M Petrol & DDiS Diesel): ₹1.40 lakh to ₹3.85 lakh for the Swift | ₹1.80 lakh to ₹4.30 lakh for the Swift Dzire
• 3rd-Gen Pre-Facelift (2017/2018 to 2020 Petrol, AMT & Diesel): ₹3.60 lakh to ₹5.40 lakh for the Swift | ₹3.75 lakh to ₹5.90 lakh for the Dzire
• 3rd-Gen DualJet Facelift (2021 to 2023 Petrol, AMT & S-CNG): ₹4.30 lakh to ₹6.60 lakh for the Swift | ₹4.75 lakh to ₹6.95 lakh for the Dzire

• 4th-Gen Z-Series Era (2024 to 2025 3-Cylinder Petrol & S-CNG): ₹5.40 lakh to ₹8.35 lakh for the Swift | ₹5.90 lakh to ₹9.10 lakh for the Dzire

Pros and Cons of Buying a Used Maruti Swift or Dzire

Before we compare the numbers, here is what you get (and what you give up) with this hatchback-and-sedan pair:

Pros

• Free-revving, ultra-refined 1.2-litre four-cylinder K-Series petrol engines on 2011 to 2023 models
• Real-world fuel efficiency of 16 to 19 km/l on petrol and 25 to 27 km/kg on factory S-CNG
• Extra 110 litres of luggage room, rear AC vents, and a plush rear armrest on the 3rd-gen Dzire
• Low routine maintenance costs averaging ₹3,000 to ₹5,500 per annual service at any workshop in India

• High resale demand that lets you sell either car in a matter of days when you upgrade

   

Cons

• Noticeable head-nod between 1st and 2nd gear on early (2017 to 2019) AMT automatic variants
• Light outer body panels on 3rd-gen (2018 to 2023) models that pick up traffic dings easily
• Cramped rear window glass and dark all-black cabin on the Swift that can feel claustrophobic for back-seat passengers

• Heavy flooding of ex-commercial cabs in the used Dzire market, requiring careful RC and odometer checks

Year-by-Year Used Maruti Swift and Used Maruti Dzire Price List in India

*Note: Maruti launched the 3rd-gen Dzire in May 2017 while the 3rd-gen Swift arrived in February 2018. As a result, a late-2017 new-shape Dzire commands ₹3.75 lakh to ₹4.85 lakh, whereas a 2017 old-shape Swift trades between ₹2.75 lakh and ₹3.85 lakh.

How to Check Fair Market Pricing Without Guessing:

Because both cars are high-liquidity bestsellers, private sellers often quote inflated prices for basic VXi manuals or disguise high-mileage commercial Dzires as lightly used family cars. To find fair prices, browse live inventory for used Maruti Swift cars on Cars24. If you want the added boot space, you can compare verified listings for second-hand Maruti Dzire cars across your city.

Generation-Wise Breakdown: Engines, Variants, and How to Value Them

You can trace how the compact sedan evolved alongside the hatchback in our history of the Maruti Suzuki Dzire guide. When you are putting your own money on the table, here is what changed across each generation and how those updates affect used prices in 2026.

1. Second Generation (2011 to 2017): The K12M and 1.3L DDiS Workhorses

• Used Swift Price (2011 to 2017): ₹1.40 lakh to ₹2.40 lakh (LXi/LDi); ₹2.30 lakh to ₹3.85 lakh (VXi/VDi/ZXi/ZDi)
• Used Swift Dzire Price (2012 to early 2017): ₹1.80 lakh to ₹2.75 lakh (LXi/LDi); ₹2.65 lakh to ₹4.30 lakh (VXi/VDi/ZXi/ZDi)
• Engines: 1.2-litre K12M 4-cylinder petrol (83 bhp, 115 Nm); 1.3-litre DDiS Fiat-sourced turbo-diesel (74 bhp, 190 Nm)
• Transmissions: 5-speed manual; 4-speed torque-converter automatic (Swift Dzire VXi AT only); 5-speed AMT (Swift Dzire ZDi from 2016)

While the second-generation Swift grew a longer 2,430 mm wheelbase in late 2011, the second-generation Swift Dzire followed in February 2012 with a clever trick: Maruti chopped its total length to 3,995 mm to qualify for lower sub-4-metre excise duty. That stubby boot held 316 litres of luggage (versus 204 litres in the Swift), though both cars shared heavier sheet metal and firmer hydraulic-feel steering than the lighter models that replaced them.

Factor this too: Maruti rolled out a mid-life facelift for the Swift in late 2014 and the Swift Dzire in February 2015. Facelifted ZXi and ZDi trims gained push-button start, power-folding wing mirrors, improved fuel efficiency, and standard ABS on VDi diesel trims.

• What to buy: Target a 2015 to 2017 VXi (O) or ZXi Petrol between ₹2.75 lakh and ₹3.75 lakh. On the 2015+ models, the optional (O) pack added dual front airbags and ABS to LXi and VXi trims.

• What to skip: Avoid pre-2014 LXi/VXi trims if highway driving is on your agenda, as they lack ABS and airbags entirely. Also skip the rare 4-speed automatic on the 2012 to 2015 Swift Dzire VXi AT unless your running is under 500 km a month, as it drops city mileage to 10 to 11 km/l.

   

2. Third Generation (2017/2018 to 2024): The Heartect & DualJet Era

• Used Swift Price (2018 to early 2024): ₹3.60 lakh to ₹5.40 lakh (2018 to 2020 K12M); ₹4.30 lakh to ₹6.60 lakh (2021 to 2023 DualJet & S-CNG)
• Used Dzire Price (May 2017 to 2024): ₹3.75 lakh to ₹5.90 lakh (2017 to 2020 K12M/DDiS); ₹4.75 lakh to ₹6.95 lakh (2020 to 2023 DualJet & S-CNG)
• Engines: 1.2-litre K12M petrol (82 bhp, 113 Nm, 2017 to 2020); 1.3-litre DDiS diesel (74 bhp, 190 Nm, discontinued March 2020); 1.2-litre K12N DualJet petrol (89 bhp, 113 Nm, late 2020 to 2024); 1.2-litre DualJet S-CNG (76 bhp, 98.5 Nm, 2022 to 2024)

• Transmissions: 5-speed manual and 5-speed AMT (AGS) available across VXi, ZXi, and ZXi+ (plus VDi/ZDi/ZDi+ until 2020)

   

Built on Suzuki's lighter Heartect platform, the third generation shed 85 to 120 kg, widened the cabin by 40 mm, and made dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, and ISOFIX child-seat mounts standard across every variant from LXi upwards. The Dzire gained a proper 378-litre boot, standard rear AC vents (from VXi up), and beige-and-faux-wood interiors, while the Swift got an all-black sporty cabin and a 268-litre boot (up 64 litres over the 2nd-gen Swift).

Here's the valuation secret most buyers miss in this generation. Maruti updated the Dzire in March 2020 and the Swift in February 2021 with the 1.2-litre DualJet (K12N) engine, featuring two fuel injectors per cylinder and idle start-stop. That update didn't just boost power from 82 bhp to 89 bhp and lift real-world mileage by 1.5 km/l; it also added Electronic Stability Program (ESP) and Hill-Hold Assist as standard on all AMT automatic models, plus cruise control on ZXi+ trims.

• What to buy: Pay the extra ₹40,000 to ₹55,000 for a 2020+ Dzire DualJet or 2021+ Swift DualJet in VXi AMT or ZXi MT/AMT trim (₹4.80 lakh to ₹6.30 lakh). If you want an automatic, the hill-hold feature on the DualJet AMT stops the car from rolling backwards on steep mall ramps and flyovers.

• What to skip: Skip the LXi trim in this generation. It lacks power windows, central locking, adjustable front headrests (on Swift), a tachometer, and wheel covers, costing you ₹35,000 in aftermarket accessories just to make it livable.

   

3. Fourth Generation (2024 to 2025): The Z-Series & 6-Airbag Era

• Used Swift Price (May 2024 to 2025): ₹5.40 lakh to ₹8.35 lakh
• Used Dzire Price (Nov 2024 to 2025): ₹5.90 lakh to ₹9.10 lakh
• Engines: 1.2-litre 3-cylinder Z12E petrol (80 bhp, 111.7 Nm); 1.2-litre Z12E S-CNG (69 bhp, 101.8 Nm)

• Transmissions: 5-speed manual and 5-speed AMT

   

In 2024, Maruti retired the famous four-cylinder K-Series motor in favour of a new 1.2-litre three-cylinder Z12E engine tuned for strong low-rpm city pull and higher fuel economy. More importantly for family buyers, both 4th-gen cars pack six airbags, ESP, hill-hold assist, and three-point seatbelts for all five passengers as standard across every variant from base LXi to ZXi+. The late-2024 4th-gen Dzire went a step further with a heavily reinforced crash structure, standard LED projector headlamps on all trims, and a factory electric sunroof on the ZXi+.

Variant-Wise Price & Feature Breakdown for 3rd-Gen & 4th-Gen Swift and Dzire

How Fuel Type, AMT Gearbox, and Ex-Cab History Shift Used Prices

When you compare two listings of the same age, three factors dictate whether the asking price is a fair deal or a money pit.

1. Petrol vs Factory S-CNG vs 1.3L Diesel: The Running Cost Math

In the used market, a 2022 to 2025 factory S-CNG Swift or Dzire (VXi or ZXi) commands ₹50,000 to ₹70,000 more than its petrol counterpart. Is that upfront premium worth paying?

You can check city and highway consumption figures for the hatchback in our Maruti Suzuki Swift real-world mileage guide. We've also broken down sedan fuel economy across traffic conditions in our Maruti Suzuki Dzire real-world mileage report. In mixed daily driving, the 1.2-litre petrol returns 17 km/l (₹5.88 per km at ₹100/litre), while the factory S-CNG delivers 26 km/kg (₹3.07 per km at ₹80/kg), saving you ₹2.81 every kilometre.

• If you drive 800 km a month (9,600 km a year): You save ₹2,248 a month on fuel (₹26,976 a year). Paying a ₹60,000 premium for a used CNG model takes over two years to break even, and the 55-litre CNG tank swallows nearly all of the Swift's boot. Stick to the Petrol VXi or ZXi.

• If you drive 1,800 km a month (21,600 km a year): Your monthly fuel savings jump to ₹5,058 (₹60,696 a year). You recover the entire S-CNG price premium within 12 months, and if you pick the Dzire S-CNG, its deeper 378-litre boot still leaves room for two soft duffel bags behind the cylinder. For a 5-year service and maintenance forecast, see our Maruti Suzuki Swift running cost breakdown.

   

What about the discontinued 1.3L DDiS Diesel (2012 to 2019)? Outside Delhi-NCR, clean 2018 and 2019 Swift VDi/ZDi and Dzire VDi/ZDi diesels still trade at ₹4.10 lakh to ₹5.85 lakh. Buyers love the Fiat-sourced 1.3-litre turbo-diesel's punchy 190 Nm mid-range and 20 to 22 km/l highway economy, plus these BS4 diesels have no DPF filter to clog in city traffic.

2. How to Spot a Re-Registered Ex-Cab Dzire (Buyer Protection Warning)

Because the Dzire is the undisputed king of Indian ride-hailing fleets, the used market has its share of commercial Dzire Tour or Tour S cars that have been converted to private white number plates with rolled-back odometers. An ex-cab should sell for 35% to 45% less than a private family car. Use these four checks to protect yourself:

1. Check the Body Generation vs Registration Year: Between 2017 and early 2023, Maruti sold the old 2nd-generation body shell exclusively to fleet operators as the Dzire Tour S, while private buyers got the new 3rd-generation shape. If someone offers you a "2019 or 2021 private Dzire" that has the older pre-2017 upright grille and dashboard, walk away immediately: it is a converted commercial cab.
2. Look for the 80 kmph Speed Governor: Commercial Tour S models come with a factory ECU speed limiter locked at 80 kmph and a yellow warning sticker on the instrument cluster or driver door jamb.
3. Inspect the Rear Door Pads and C-Pillar: Fleet cars experience 10 times more rear-door openings than family cars. Sagging rear door hinges, worn-out rear door rubber beading, and shiny, threadbare rear seat fabric on a car claiming "42,000 km" are dead giveaways of odometer tampering.

4. Verify "Commercial-to-Private" History on the RC: Always check the vehicle registration details on the Parivahan portal; a converted cab will show a tax category change or a higher number of previous fitness renewals.

    

4 Mechanical Checks to Negotiate the Price Down

While the K-Series engine is nearly bulletproof, suspension bushes, AMT clutches, and tyres take a beating on Indian roads. Check these four items on your test drive and use the repair estimates to negotiate:

1. AMT (AGS) Clutch Judder on Creep (Deduct ₹18,000 to ₹28,000): On an AMT automatic Swift or Dzire with over 45,000 km, slot the lever into D on a flat road and let the car creep forward without touching the accelerator. If the car shudders violently or hesitates before lunging forward, the AMT clutch plate and release bearing are worn out.
2. Steering Rack Bush & Return-to-Centre Play (Deduct ₹8,500 to ₹13,500): Early 3rd-generation Swifts and Dzires (2017 to 2019) had a sticky electric power steering calibration that didn't fully self-centre after a U-turn, along with a steering rack bush that develops a dull klunk over potholes by 50,000 km. Listen closely over speed breakers with the stereo switched off.
3. 14-Inch vs 15-Inch Tyre Replacement Cost (Deduct ₹14,000 to ₹24,000): LXi and VXi trims ride on skinny 165/80 R14 tyres, whereas ZXi and ZXi+ trims use wider 185/65 R15 rubber. Before you inspect a hatchback, check our Maruti Swift tyre specifications guide for replacement costs across brands. If you are evaluating a sedan, read our Maruti Dzire tyre size and price guide to see why upgrading a VXi's worn 165-section tyres to 185/70 R14 noticeably improves wet braking.

4. EGR Valve & Timing Chain Noise on 1.3L Diesels (Deduct ₹14,000 to ₹22,000): If you are buying a 2014 to 2019 VDi or ZDi with over 80,000 km, listen for a metallic rattle from the left side of the engine bay on cold start (timing chain tensioner wear) and check for black soot under hard throttle (clogged EGR valve and intercooler hoses).

    

Which Used Swift or Dzire Should You Buy in 2026?

Instead of stretching your budget for a brand-new base model, pick the exact year and variant that matches your daily drive:

• For tight budgets (₹2.75 lakh to ₹3.75 lakh): Buy a 2015 to 2017 Swift VXi (O) or ZXi (or a Swift Dzire VXi/ZXi for ₹30,000 more). You get the refined four-cylinder 1.2L K12M petrol engine, heavier 2nd-gen sheet metal, and dual airbags (on (O) and ZXi trims) at the flattest part of its depreciation curve.
• For city automatic commuters (₹4.80 lakh to ₹5.90 lakh): Target a 2021 to 2023 Swift VXi AMT or ZXi AMT (DualJet). Choosing a post-2021 DualJet model gives you the 89 bhp engine, smoother AMT shift logic, and standard ESP with hill-hold assist so you never roll back on flyovers.
• For small families needing boot space and highway comfort (₹5.20 lakh to ₹6.50 lakh): Pick a 2020 to 2023 Dzire ZXi MT or AMT (DualJet). The ZXi trim gives you wider 185/65 R15 alloy wheels, automatic climate control, rear AC vents, a 7-inch Apple CarPlay/Android Auto screen, and a 378-litre boot that swallows airport luggage with ease.
• For safety-conscious buyers with flexible budgets (₹6.10 lakh to ₹8.20 lakh): Look for a 2024 or 2025 4th-Gen Swift or Dzire VXi (O) or ZXi with under 20,000 km. You get six standard airbags, ESP, and the 2024+ Dzire's 5-star crash structure while saving ₹1.40 lakh to ₹1.90 lakh off the new on-road price.
