Repositioned rear door handle, redesigned C-pillar improve aero.

Camera display isn’t as clear or sharp as some of its rivals; doesn’t get adaptive guidelines either.

Appreciably, ESP, hill-start assist and 6 airbags are standard.

Make : Maruti Suzuki

Model : Swift

We Like

Sporty handling
Impressive fuel efficiency
Light controls
Standard safety kit

We Don't Like

Priced too close to Baleno
Engine lacks punch

The fourth-generation Swift is off to a great start, cementing its place in the list of bestsellers. Sure, like most cars today, even the Swift is offered with some discounts for a stronger sales push, but that doesn’t take away from the fact that buyers have taken a liking to this new version. So what has been driving demand? Is it its new petrol engine with tall claims of fuel efficiency; or all the modern niceties it packs in; or simply because it carries forward the Swift’s winning formula? We put it through our exhaustive tests to get an answer.
