    Top-spec Swifts get the SmartPlay touchscreen infotainment system you’ll find on other Maruti models too. The 7.0-inch unit has a high-contrast display but you’ll have to precisely touch the ‘buttons’ for the system to respond; and we aren’t fans of the touch-operated volume control. That said, the system is fairly loaded with in-built voice commands (accuracy is average), SD-card-based navigation and even a video player. The system usefully also comes bundled with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and MirrorLink. Sound quality from the 4-speaker and 2-tweeter setup is decent. Lower trims feature a simpler 2 DIN audio player with CD, USB, aux-in and Bluetooth streaming and telephone functions.
