Meet Suzuki Swift AllGrip FX: It's A One-Off And More Slush-Ready: Pics
The Suzuki Swift AllGrip FX is a one-of-a-kind concept from Suzuki Netherlands that turns the popular Swift hatchback into an adventure-ready car. While the regular Swift is known for being nimble and great for city driving, this special edition adds off-road features for more rugged use. While it might sound like a car to go off-road, this is more about soft-roading. Developed by Suzuki's Netherlands-based arm, the hatchback will certainly give ideas to enthusiasts.
Suzuki Swift AllGrip FX: What's New?
The Suzuki Swift AllGrip FX consists of an AllGrip all-wheel-drive (AWD) system, which automatically sends power to the front and rear wheels for better traction on slippery surfaces like snow, mud, or gravel. It also has a 32 mm increase in ground clearance with a jacked-up suspension setup. Thanks to its 195/55R16 all-season tires, making it easier to handle rough terrain.

Thule Roof Rack: Increases cargo space for outdoor gear.
Tralert LED Light Bar: Improves visibility in off-road conditions.
Black Accents: High-gloss black trims and decals give a rugged look.
Rear Bumper Protection: Added rubber trim for extra durability.
Suzuki Swift AllGrip FX: Interior
Leather Upholstery: Provides added comfort.
Dometic Cool Box and Storage Box: Great for long trips.
Suzuki Swift AllGrip FX: Powertrain
This vehicle has a 1.2-liter three-cylinder Z12E naturally aspirated petrol engine that produces 79.8 HP and 112 Nm of peak torque. It comes with a 5-speed manual transmission.
As of now, Maruti Suzuki doesn't sell the Swift in India with all-wheel drive or the 1.0L Turbo Petrol engine with a 6-speed automatic gearbox. Although it is currently a unique concept limited to the Netherlands, its combination of practicality and rugged features could attract markets like India, where versatile vehicles are in demand.

Maruti Suzuki to Escorts Kubota: Which auto stocks to buy after May sales data? Here are top four picks for long-term
Indian automakers' May 2025 sales data, released on Monday, 2 June 2025, portrayed a mixed sentiment among stock market experts and brokerage firms. The passenger vehicle (PV) segment's low growth and the booming export figures fueled the market outlook for auto stocks. Indian automobile manufacturing companies reported weak sales to dealers in May 2025 due to muted urban demand, mainly in the small car segment. India's largest automaker, Maruti Suzuki, reported a 5.6% fall in domestic sales to 135,962 units in May 2025. The brand's small car segment witnessed a 31% fall, for cars like the Alto and the S-Presso. Hyundai Motor India reported an 11% fall in its May 2025 wholesale sales data, as the brand sold 43,861 units compared to 49,151 units in the same period a year ago. Tata Motors reported an 11% YoY drop in sales to 41,557 units. When it comes to two-wheelers, market leader Hero MotoCorp posted a 2% YoY rise in sales for May 2025, while the second-largest firm, Bajaj Auto, recorded 1.6% growth. TVS Motor reported a 14.1% year-on-year (YoY) jump in total sales to 309,287 units, due to strong demand for its electric vehicle offering. Indian brokerage firm Anand Rathi maintained a 'Neutral' expectation for India's auto sector stocks, citing the May 2025 sales performance. The tractor sales for May 2025 were in line with the brokerage estimates, and growth was mid-single digits due to support from unseasonal rainfall, an MSP hike, and healthy agricultural activities. The two-wheeler sales were in line with the brokerage estimates. However, the passenger vehicle (PV) sales were 'slightly below estimates' due to a sluggish retail market trend. 'Ahead, rural markets, the monsoon, rabi output, cash-flow, better interest rates and higher disposable incomes thanks to tax cuts would maintain momentum,' said the auto sector analysts at Anand Rathi in a sector review report on Monday. Rajesh Sinha, Senior Research Analyst at Bonanza, also recommended three stocks to buy for the long term: Mahindra & Mahindra, TVS Motor, and Maruti Suzuki. The analysts at Anand Rathi recommended buying Maruti Suzuki and Escorts Kubota. 1. Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd (M&M): Mahindra & Mahindra shares have given stock market investors more than 500% returns in the last five years, and over 18% in the last one-year period. Rajesh Sinha recommended this stock, citing M&M's position to excel in its core business operations, underpinned by a strong rural recovery and the introduction of new SUV and tractor models. The expert also said that the company's export business witnessed a 37% year-on-year (YoY) growth, as the automaker now positions itself to launch three Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) SUVs, two Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV), and five Light Commercial Vehicles (LCVs) in CY26. 2. TVS Motor Ltd (TVSMOTOR): The shares of the two-wheeler automaker have given stock market investors more than 600% returns in the last five years and nearly 25% in the last one-year period. The stock market expert highlighted the company's sharp rise in electric two-wheeler sales and the board's expectations of export growth due to high demand from the Latin American market and demand recovery in Sri Lanka and Africa. The management also expects a strong revival in rural demand in the near term, fueled by the upcoming May-June wedding season in India. 3. Maruti Suzuki India Ltd (MARUTI): Maruti Suzuki shares have given Indian stock market investors more than 110% returns in the last five years. However, the shares are down 2.52% in the last one-year period. Sinha highlighted how the automaker's total sales volume (Domestic + Exports) for the month rose to 1.8 lakh units. The company's exports also saw an 80% YoY jump as it achieved its production milestone for the 2024-25 fiscal year. Anand Rathi also recommended buying Maruti Suzuki shares after the May 2025 auto sales data release on Monday, 2 June 2025. 4. Escorts Kubota Ltd (ESCORTS): Escorts Kubota shares have given back investors over 230% in the last five years. However, the tractor manufacturer's stock lost 16.91% in the last one-year period. Like the other Indian automakers, Escorts Kubota's export segment witnessed a 71% rise, even though the domestic volumes took a 2% hit. The core business revenue volumes from tractor sales witnessed a 1% YoY rise to 10,354 units, in line with Anand Rathi's estimates for the month. The brokerage recommended this stock as its stock pick after the May 2025 sales data release for stock market investors. Sinha also highlighted how China's rare-earth magnet export curbs pose a 'significant risk' to the Indian auto industry. He said that automakers are urging the government to expedite diplomatic negotiations and clearances with China while considering other suppliers from nations like Japan and Vietnam. The current restrictions pose a high threat to the production of ICE and EV vehicles in India. 'Urgent investment in domestic processing and R&D into alternative motor technologies is essential for long-term resilience,' he added.
