Maruti Suzuki Swift FAQs

The X-factors of the Maruti Swift are its sporty handling, which does not come at a compromise of fuel efficiency. It also gets all the essential creature comforts and an easy-to-use nature, making it suitable for new and experienced drivers alike. 

The Maruti Swift offers a firm ride that is appreciable at high speeds, as it maintains its composure well. The engine, too, feels relaxed at triple-digit speeds, while the handling has a sporty character. These advantages make it a good car for long drives.

The front seats of the Swift have chunky side bolstering, which will fit an average-sized individual snugly, but can trouble passengers over 6 feet. The rear seats, however, are very comfortable and can easily sit three individuals, the only caveats being the protruding rear AC vents and a missing middle headrest. 

Yes, the Maruti Swift is still a fun-to-drive car, as with the fourth-generation, the sporty handling of the Swift has been improved further. While its new 3-cylinder engine is less powerful on paper, it offers a similar drive experience as before. The fuel efficiency has also amped up now, which is appreciable. 

The Maruti Suzuki Swift is known for its sorted driving dynamics, well-equipped interior and high fuel efficiency. The lower and mid-spec variants are also priced well, but the top-spec variants have similar prices to the more premium Baleno, which makes choosing the Swift tougher.

We have tested all the powertrains of the Swift and have found that for the petrol engine, the Swift has a better mileage of 16.50kpl compared to the AMT’s 15.90kpl fuel efficiency. The Swift CNG is, however, the most frugal with an average of 27.87kpl.

All the Swift rivals, including the Tata Tiago and Hyundai Grand i10 Nios, get a similar capacity 1.2-litre petrol engine. However, the Tiago’s engine produces 4hp and 1Nm more, while the Grand i10 Nios produces 1hp and 2 Nm more, both of which are not going to cause any difference in the real-world situations.
