2018 Maruti Suzuki Swift review, road test

In general, lower the kerb weight, the less load there is on the engine, which results in greater efficiency. Just as expected, then, the new lightweight Swift shines in this section of the test. The petrol- manual Swift delivered 12.6kpl in town and a superb 19.3kpl out on the highway. Impressively, the petrol-auto was not too far  behind with figures of 11.4kpl and 18.5kpl in the city and highway, respectively. The diesels proved shockingly frugal. The manual car registered an efficiency of 16.5kpl in town and 22kpl on the highway, while the automatic stretched each litre of diesel 16.2km in the city and 21.8km on the highway! The Swift’s tank is quite small at 37 litres, but you can go quite a long way on a single tank.
