Maruti Suzuki Swift [2011-2014] User Reviews

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.

Exterior

 The exterir is good looking and attractive, nicely designed car

Colour quality is good, they should some with some more colours

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 - When you get inside the car you feel premium, nicely designed interiors, plastic quality is good all the controls are good.

Ya seats are very comfortable especially the front ones

Bootspace is good enough you can put your one airportbag easily - I tried actually

- I feel that there is space limits in the car I am 5.4" I feel that head room is good but foot space is not great may be due to design of the seat or that handle given to adjust steering wheel height which touches my knee all the times when I get in.

- AC of the car is good and works well, generally when the car is hot dont expect too much - for that I open all 4 windows with AC on for 5 mins and close it to remove hot air from cabin - then it works fine.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 - Very good engine I am using VDi - the performance of car is too good.

-  Turbo charger works just well when you press the paddle it just feels like driving racing car this is the reason I bought this car.

- Engine noise in not much once you close all glasses and put on the music its silent, you wont even feel you are driving petrol or Diesel!!

- I tried lonavala ghats and other ghat - believe me this car goes on ghats just effortlessly very powerful engine.

- I have touched around 130 + on Pune-Mumb Expy goes very well with confididence

- I use it for my daily travel in Pune City(Hadapsar-Hinjewadi) I get 20 Kmpl - yes actual figure 80% of the time AC on.

- When the engine was new I went on long drive of around 500 Kms at that time I got 23 Kmpl on highway with 100% AC on!!. also in City I was getting 19.8 till it completed 7000 KMs after it it automatically started giving more milage!!

- After around 8000 Kms I feel that the Engine is rouse and internal part polishing was done and engine became very much smooth and responsive.

Ride Quality & Handling

 Good, nice on corners and sharp turns

Final Words

 - Good car withing this budget.

Areas of improvement  

 Space, Break some times give good types make Alloy common with VDI at least and above

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.

Exterior Finish is good. The curves are much sharper than the earlier version.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Features are the same as the earlier version Instead of the analog meters they could have gone for the digital meters which is currently there is many cars.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine performance too good. Earlier i had driven the petrol version and was thinking diesel would be much slower but on driving this vehicle my opinion has completely changed about the diesel cars. The  pickup is too good can say better than a petrol version. The car does not sway at high speeds on highways and very stable. The car is highly fuel efficent and is averaging around 18 to 19 on highways without any issues.

Ride Quality & Handling The car is easy to handle at high speeds and the ride is enjoyable as the car is agile and  performancewise superb.

Final Words For those buying diesel hatch back the best car available go for it.

Areas of improvement Boot space very much restricted which needs to be improved.

Exterior The paint job is OK, not as rich as my i10, gets scratched easiliy. bumper are also very thin to get torn up easily.   

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The AC is too weak, the VDI does not cool in pune afternoon, so it  will not  do so in any other city. My I10 gives much better cooling.

 The back mirror have design issue, night time flip still shows about 50% normal light to discturb your eyes. The horn also  should have a bit more aread on sterring, it s too much in center and have to move hand vs fingers.

The turn indicator are actually hazardeous, one light touch and it will kick off the indication for 3 times, I like  my i10's 100% manual one a bit safer.

It  shoud have about 10cm extra length though. the back seats get cramped if the front ones want to relax.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Great on all account

Ride Quality & Handling  Ride quality not as relaxing as i10/i20. Handling is much better though

Final Words Gr8 car, dont regret buying it.

Areas of improvement make the back seats a bit spacy. and take care of suggestions mentioned above
