New Facelifted Swift 1.2 petrol coming soon

As new emission norms are coming into force in 2010 & more than 3-lakh Swift's are lugging around on the Indian roads.
Maruti will be finally going to launch a much needed Face-lifted version of its highly popular premium hatchback Swift with minor changes to its already hot sporty looks highly restricted to its bumpers,headlamps & tail-lamps externally while the interiors will get some spice by having some beige upholstery bits with other minor changes like revised dials,etc.
However the main biggest change will be the introduction of the 1.2 litre 84 bhp K-series Petrol engine from its sibling Ritz due to its compliance with the Bharat stage-IV emission norms,the latter will benefit it in terms of much better power delivery,fuel-efficiency n smoother engine responses than current Esteem derived buzzy 88bhp,1.3 litre old G13B engine, plus it gives added benefits of improved speed & acceleration due to lower kerb weight & better aerodynamics than Ritz.
The diesel will also get tweaks by tweaking its ECU to meet Bharat-IV norms.
The Icing on the cake will be the Petrol version which also seems to get some price revisions as it will fall under Excise duty benefit category(8% as compared to normally 20%) ..
