Maruti Suzuki Swift FAQs

If you want a hatchback with sporty handling, while also not losing out on fuel efficiency, the Maruti Swift could be for you. It also gets all the essential creature comforts and an easy-to-use nature, making it suitable for new and experienced drivers alike. 

While the AMT offers a relaxed driving experience and is well-suited for city drives, it does not feel engaging enough under hard acceleration. So, for highway runs, the manual gearbox is recommended for spirited driving.

The Maruti Swift offers a firm ride that is appreciable at high speeds, as it maintains its composure well. The low-speed comfort is also appreciable as it soaks in potholes and bumps nicely; however, some movements do come through quite sharply at highway speeds.

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. 

The sporty handling of the Swift, which has been improved further with the current fourth-generation model, and its new engine that is more fuel-efficient than before, are the X-factors of the Maruti hatchback. 

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.
