In the Indian market, many manufacturers offer many sub four meter SUVs with more features and great looks at a low price. Maruti Swift is brought by Maruti in the hatchback segment at an initial ex-showroom price of Rs 6.49 lakh. In this era of SUVs, how beneficial can buying the new generation of Maruti Swift prove to be for you. We are telling you in this news.
Maruti Swift Exterior & Design – What’s Changed?
Many changes have been made in the new generation of Maruti Swift as compared to the old one. From its front grill to the position of the handle on the rear doors has been changed. Which can be easily noticed. Apart from this, Maruti has tried to maintain the basic design of Swift. The car has been given dual tone paint scheme as well as LED DRL, LED lights and fog lamps, which give very good light at night. Also, due to the feature of auto light, you get good light as soon as it gets dark. Due to the high mount stop lamp and shark fin antenna, it looks much better from the rear as well.
Maruti Swift Interior & Features
Maruti has offered Swift with an all black interior. In such a situation, it does not look dirty too quickly. Fabric has been used in the seats. Also, the seats have been kept so comfortable that one does not feel much tired during long journeys. As features, it has features like push button start, steering control, cruise control, wireless phone charger, charging port, ABS, EBD, six airbags as standard.
However, the audio quality could have been improved a bit in its top variant. Also, if ventilated seats were also given in its front, then it could have become a better option. Its value could also have been increased by offering sunroof in the car.
Maruti Swift Engine & Performance – Tested Over 1000 Kms
Maruti brings such a car in the hatchback segment which is liked a lot since its launch. Be it the design or the features. On many fronts, this small car from Maruti gives a tough competition to many SUVs. We also tried to test this hatchback from Maruti on many fronts. For about two to three weeks, we drove it for about 1000 kms on both city and highway roads.
New Z-Series Engine – Power & Efficiency
Maruti Swift engine performance: The biggest change that Maruti has made in the new generation Swift includes the engine of the car. Maruti has given a new Z series engine in the new Swift. Although this engine comes with three cylinders, there is no lack of power in driving it in urban traffic. But sometimes it takes a little effort to overtake on the highway.
New Maruti Swift mileage: But in terms of mileage, it does not put a strain on your pocket. We drove it for about a thousand kilometers in bumper to bumper traffic in the city as well as on the highway and during this time we got a mixed mileage of 19 to 21 kilometers, which is a very good figure.
Here we would like to give you one more tip, if you maintain the correct air pressure in the car’s tires and drive with a light foot, then this car can give you even more mileage. Compared to the old generation, there is no noise in the cabin even when the engine is driven with less power.
Driving Experience & Handling – Is It Fun to Drive?
If Maruti calls Swift a car that you can drive easily in traffic, it is equally fun to drive it on the highway. The steering feels so light that there is no problem in driving in traffic or on narrow roads. At the same time, it seems quite easy to keep it under control even at high speed. Swift has a feature like cruise control, which makes it very easy to drive at the same speed on the highway, but if you reduce the speed of cruise control, then there is a little difficulty in reducing the speed. Which can be improved.
Maruti Swift Pros & Cons – Should You Buy It?
Maruti Swift pros and cons: If you have to face the problem of parking in your daily life, you drive most of the time in bumper to bumper traffic and you have to drive on flat roads, then Maruti Swift can prove to be a better option for you. But if you want a car with more ground clearance to drive on bad roads, want a car with more powerful or turbo engine, are looking for a car with features like sunroof, then you can consider other options available in the market.
