Maruti Suzuki Swift [2011-2014] User Reviews

Exterior LOOKS ARE AWESOME, LITTLE DELICATE WITH THE BODY.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) GREAT COMFORT. LOTS OF SPACE IN THE FRONT. NEED MORE SPACE BEHIND.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox ENGINE IS LITTLE SLOWER TO PICKUP AND SPEED BELOW 20 ON DIESEL CARS, FUEL ECONOMY GREAT, GEARS ARE NOT SMOOT AM LITTLE DISSAPOINTED WITH THE GEARS.

Ride Quality & Handling EXCELLENT.

Final Words AN AWESOME CAR TO BUY AGAINST ALL ODDS IN THE SEGMENT,  I JUST GOT A NEW CAR VDI DROVE FOR 1500 KMS. I JUST LOVE DRIVING THE CAR.. GREAT HANDLING.. JUST SLOW IN PICKUP BELOW 40 IN TOP GEARS. BUT EXCELLENT DRIVING IN HIGHWAY AND I GUESS WHOEVER OWNS ENJOYS DRIVING THE CAR. SUPERB AND ITS VALUE FOR MONEY.

Areas of improvement CHANGE OF GEARS SMOOTHNESS TO BE IMPROVED, AND IF MARUTI CAN DO SOMETHING ON THE PICKUP OF THE CAR ON THE TOP GEARS DRIVING BELOW 40 IT WOULD BE GREAT.

LOOKS AND COMFORTGEAR SMOOTHNESS

first time i ride this Swift from chennai to nagapatinam really awesome comfortable smooth driven with economy fuel consumption.

Music & sound systems are very nice to handle. Than it no need only require the company service so no need to long wait for free service.

I done my Swift car services at motorexpert in Chennai. Really nice one easy to hadle service too at local mechanics with genuine :)

Advice to try diesel or petrol no difference the way to go unique with maruti Swift is good always!

Exterior & interior not much bad like it very much my family & friends got real adventure travel fun via Swift. Gear braking is alltime right, Ebgine Power looks good, Interior features are comfort, fuel economy is good for a long travel.

Go for it without compliment doubts. I like that small boot. When you drive the car makes feel to sail on sea wow nice ridder :)

Comfort Smooth DriveNothing

Exterior Fascinating and world class.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Space is Ok features are good comfort is good.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox If you want the car to give good fuel economy, this is not the car. I have a swift vxi purchased in July 2013, giving me less than 10 kmpl.  

Ride Quality & Handling Good.

Final Words Good car, no doubt.  But it is a failure in fuel economy. What is the point if you dont get at least 14kmpl on city roads?  I spent nearly Rs. 40000 (around 500 litres  aprox) on petrol since purchase and I could run only around 4000 KM!!!!  I took it to the service centre but they could not do anything. It is simply awful  !! Can I get a replacement of my car? I cannot keep spending money on petrol at this rate.

Areas of improvement  Fuel economy need to improve significantly. There is no fog removing system at the rear glass like you have in Esteem. The Music system should be standard feature.

appearancemileage is between 9 to10 kmpl. on city roads.

Exterior The classy new headlamps which gives you more style and more visibility at night driving. High mount stop lamps and sporrrty look.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) It is very comfortable IF U go to aurangabad from pune one day return you will not get body aches,legs paning ,you will not feel tired its just the luxury.i have VDI it dosen't vibrates much as other disel cars.The attaction is the new AC vents the silver strips,and the blacky interiors.Only the boot space is little bit small because of the rally car type desigine.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is just thrirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrlling. You press the acceralatr and vroooooooooom.fuel economy is very very good. On highways it gives me 24 and in city it gives me 20.Gearbox are very smooooth.😄

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality on highways is good.It overtakes swiftly .And braking is also powerfull.😄

Final Words IF you want everyrithing go for swift.

Areas of improvement Should give alloy wheels in VDI,VXI versions. But I'm fully satsified with my new SWIFT.

What a pickup i was just amazed.in city it gives me 20 and on higwways 24.i like evreything.

Exterior Nice headlamps. grille design can be improved. fog lamps are worth enough during rain and fog.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Spacious enough, features can be added like floor illumination etc. boot space not much to say.. no rear speakers ( but Maruti simply provided space for speakers..)

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Good FE, VVTi engine is nice to cruise quickly.. smooth shift in gears. but a bit noisy, may be because of Diesel engine. smooth and quick acceleration after 2-3 services.

Ride Quality & Handling Quality of ride improves as kms goes on.. handling is comparable in its segment. But always problems in  the form of dashboard noise, etc. Side pulling problem persists even after wheel regular alignment.

Final Words In diesel segment, it is a better to have one.. Service costs are at its higher end. not worth for money.

Areas of improvement Cetral console could be modified.. and also good wheel caps can be provided with. bulky exterior, especially, bumpers are inviting scratch/dent..!! Wiper blades are poor in quality. steering audio control and stereo can be provided with middle version onwards.

Spacious, Driving comfortCheap Interiors, feels like a Big Car, High service cost

Exterior

Ofcourse it depends on each person's individual's taste or choice. For me, its really a good looking car. 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Interiors (Dash board, etc) are really good. Obviously, space is less comparatively. However, according to me, usage of the available space is not a regular thing (you will not use boot space daily/frequently unless you use it for non-commercial purse). (Comfort & mileage are regular and prime important factors). Its very comfortable.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Sofar (3000 KMs, 4months) good. I am getting city mileage of 17 KMPL (a/c not all times; but some times) at 2,500KMs. Yes, its petrol vehicle. Dont get surprised with the mileage figure. I drive car very systematically (driving in highest gear possible ie, 5th gear, with a speed of 50-60 KMPH, no unncessary application of breaks, no sudden & rapid accelerating, etc), hence, I am getting optimal mileage in city. Hope, I get best mileage in future (after couple of services and running 5000 KMs). Also hoping to get 20 KMPL mileage on highway.

Gearbox-good no issues sofar .

Ride Quality & Handling

 Good sofar.

Final Words

 I strongly recommend Swift. Simple reasons are: Its comfortable, fuel efficient, good looking, service availability and is already established its performance and iss the best selling car in its segment.

Areas of improvement  

 Space.

 

Mileage, InteriorsSpace

Exterior

 Look is good but Little less quality in body materials when we compare to other Brands like Ford, Skoda. eventhough when crash is crash the spare should be repalced even if its a good quality , so dosnt much use to have thick exterior material. Exterior style and side view is diamond look when we see it from 20 meters far atleast.

ZDI Alloy wheels are awesome , that too while it run from 1 - 10 - 20km , you see the magic of wheels switchover..

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Overall Interior is good . But abnormal fat and height peoples should always go for Big Car with spacious Seats length and width adjustments because swift wont suits them.

Music systems with other techs could have been with good features like with  LCD display , touch, DVD player, Bluetooth support, button start , mobile sync etc..

Inbuilt Speakers are awesome with lot tuning adjustments with Boss etc.

AC seems to be not good enough for rear passengers. probably maruthi they need to improve on this.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Awesome , I see getting 21km per liter in highway while we keep speed limit at 100 ,eventhough am a new driver just learned with 10 classes and baught my car swift. and getting 17 - 18 in local city.

Ride Quality & Handling

 Above 120 speed , Body shake is there but i think that is normal for hatchback cars. moreover my spouse and kids enjoying by sleeping during 120 speed , that looks fine overall..

but I dont feel shakes in 100% flat road even if go on 140-160.. so not sure road issue or car issue..but am satisfied with my car.

Final Words

 Overall Swift fully loaded ZDI is good but I dont like LD1, VDI , probably they are less cost but they seems to be poor in interior, wheels etc.

Areas of improvement  

 AC for rear passengers, Exterior spare material quality like bumpers etc , Interior Music systems assembly with recent mandatry technologys like Bluetooth, DVD, Mobile sync. Button start, Rear Camera etc..

 

Manly Look , Fuel economy, front Interior awesome.Exterior Body quality should improve still.
