Overall
And the reason behind this hatchback's massive success is no exaggeration, and is in fact, well justified. The primary reason being the technology that fuels this powerful hatchback, i.e. 1.3-litre petrol engine and the 1.3-litre DDiS engine. The petrol variant's engine was replaced by a 1.2-litre L K-series engine in 2010 in compliance with the BS IV emission norms. The 16-valve light weight DOHC petrol engine not only reduces friction, and provides faster acceleration but also delivers a power of 85.81bhp. The low maintenance engine provides excellent fuel efficiency with a mileage of 18.6kmpl. On the other hand, the 5-step Multi Injection Common Rail System of the diesel engine delivers a staggering mileage of 22.9kmpl, making it one of the most fuel-efficient cars to tread on Indian roads. Also, its turbochargers and intercooler combination results in not only efficient combustion, but also higher torque and clearer emissions. All that technology is further complemented by the provision of the new generation RBSS and improved transmission that renders it the best car in the segment. And Maruti Suzuki takes technology a step further with the safety facilities in the car. Dual SRS airbags, Boot Assist System braking, ABS and increased torsional rigidity are just a handful from a long list of safety-enhancing features found in the Maruti Suzuki Swift.
Moving on to the design and looks, there is no second opinion about the fact that Maruti Suzuki Swift is indeed one of the best looking cars that India has ever seen. The car has been designed in such an extravagant manner, that it takes your breath away in a matter of moments. Aerodynamic lines, enhanced dimensions and an athletic stance make up for the bold, and yet stylish contour of the car. The sweptback headlights and the stylish vertical tail lamps, together with other stylish features of Swift's exteriors take the charm of the contemporary looks of this hatchback to a different level altogether. And the interiors aren't any less enticing. The 3-spoke steering wheel, the instrument cluster along with other defining interior features add to the overall aura of the car. This car is truly nothing like anything.
