Introduction to maruti suzuki swift:-
Back in May 2005, Maruti Suzuki launched the Swift hatchback in India, and the rest, as they say, is history. The Swift was the game changer in our thriving car market back then. It looked quirky and showed us that a hatchback can be practical and fun at the same time. Now the Swift is in its third generation and still is the segment leader selling twice the number of units each month compared to its direct rivals in the B-segment.Now let's have a quick maruti suzuki swift review.
maruti suzuki swift review:-
In its latest avatar, the Maruti Suzuki Swift may look like an evolution of its predecessor, but the changes are very extensive Maruti Suzuki has made a car that’s sporty, fun to drive and yet, manages to be practical enough to be usable for a small family. It also comes with an added dose of convenience and an improved tech package.
While the Swift has become more practical thanks to better space, features and a bigger boot, it has now also become more fun to drive. Yes, the lower variants do not offer the premium feel that their pricing command, but overall, the Swift 2020, continues to be what it already was - sensible and exciting.
The Swift always had the right ergonomics. It was designed with a typical Indian usage in mind. And now in its third act, Maruti has also ironed out all the issues of the previous two generations.
The Swift gets a 268-litre boot space, up by 210-litre of the previous generation. And with the 60:40 rear split-foldable seats put down, the luggage carrying capacity can be increased significantly.
The seats are perfectly soft and comfortable even on long hauls. As for the rear, the passengers have sufficient leg room even with a tall person sitting in the front. But fitting three adults on the rear bench is a bit of a squeeze, as you can see in the pictures.
We got the ZDi trim to drive around and it is the perfect package for its price. However, it misses out on features like the touchscreen, navigation, voice command and LED day-time-running-lights compared to the ZDi+ variant. But the latter cannot be had with an AMT transmission. Nonetheless, we were happy with the feature list in the ZDi.
The Swift never looked as good from the rear as it looks now. The proportions of the rear windscreen to the metal (on the hatch) to the plastic (bumper) appear just right now with no ungainly mass. The Swift also happens to be the first car under Maruti Suzuki Arena to not get variant badging anywhere. There’s only the DDiS insignia on the front fender of the diesel version.
The AMT or the AGS, as Maruti Suzuki likes to call it, is finally the gearbox that can manage most of the driving situations on its own whether it is a hill, slope, flat, rough, choc-a-bloc or an open expressway. The shift responses are now quick and it understands throttle inputs better now. The usual AMT headnod accompanied by gearshifts has also reduced with the only exception being upshifting at high revs and downshifting the diesel engine in its peak torque zone. A point worth mentioning here is that the AMT gear lever in the new Swift is one sophisticated looking unit (in terms of design) with short throws.
