Maruti Suzuki Swift [2011-2014] User Reviews

I bought a new swift lxi and on the very first day I found a knocking sound while braking slowly at low speeds. Then over a period of time, I faced another problem with Reverse gear. It get stucked and take two to three attempts to get in the right place. Then I have to drive into 1st gear then again try.

Otherwise the car is a good option, the service people are good enough and the car moves like a roaring LION. Its stable on roads and gives a feeling of safety on highways.

Picup, looks,Reverse gear and brakes need to be updated

Exteriors nice-though not as stylish as the DZire. turn indicators looks nice, though I dont like the black color on the front pillars-body colors looks better. 

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) -  Dash board looks nice and uber. Steering mounted controls,aux-in, usb and instrument panels are great. auto climate control dos away with the big knobs of most manual AC, music system with remote is good. Most features are the best in this segment of cars. The only drawback is that it is not as spacious as a Vista or a Jazz but for two people it is adequate. I felt that there are some amount of jerks experienced in start stop traffic and uneven roads (both common in most indian cities). Also, the seats at the back are fixed and do not collapse to make more room for luggage. The seats could have been a bit more inclined I feel. Overall, great features, manageable space, but low on comfort.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox - Gear Shifts are smooth, engine noise is quite low, fuel economy is almost the best in the segment.

 

Ride Quality & Handling - lacking ride quality - this area can be improved significantly. Handling is good and smooth.

 

Final Words - If you are the usually using the car for 2 people it is the best deal for you. However, if you are a small family, you must try a ride at the back seat before making your final call.

Value for money,Good performance and fuel economy,Auto Climate Control, Loaded with most featuresRear leg room barely adequate,no collapsible rear seat, less cmnfortable ride for rear passengers

Exterior I like the exterior most , it has better exterior looks than i20 , punto ,polo with 6 most amazing colors.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interior is better than the old Swift still not as good as I20.Could have been better with some more features as it is in i20 like gear indicator,rain sensing wiper blades, reverse senser and camera.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox This has got the best petrol engine in the segment hatchback.The Fuel economy is best, I am getting around 15KM/L in city driving.In highway the figure goes till 19KM/L.Gear box is very smooth better than even Honda's Brio and Amaze gear box.

Ride Quality & Handling This is purely a driver's car, has best handling and riding quality in allmost all Indian road condition. I like the drive even in congested city traffic without any issues. In highway I have gone till 120KM/Hr and the car feels very stable without any body rolling. 

Final Words This is the best premium hatchback in the segment in petrol especially.In diesel it comes 2nd after FIGO.

Areas of improvement Maruti might have given some added features as I mentioned above.Still this is way ahead than I20 in driving and handling pleasure which it provides to the people.

Very cute design,good handling on any road,best performance in the segment,nice pickupCould have bit more features like reverse camera,rain sensing wiper etc

 

Exterior There is a bit of change and it looks more sporty now. Like the new changes like ZDi being introduces, good alloy wheels, changed grill and indicators on orvm.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Sterio with USB feature, good climate control ac and looks cool, introduction of new can holder for co driver, audio controls on steering wheel.

But not enough increase in space on back seat. still u will have cramped feeling inside, same small windows, small boot no change in that, interior quality not upto the mark.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is same old Fiat 1.3. so no changes in that.

Ride Quality & Handling Handling wise it is improved i think with some changes in suspension, wheel base etc, more solid car while driving.

Final Words If you want to buy a diesel car thn u can look for this but for petrol u can definatly have amny options.

Areas of improvement Interior quality, boot space, rear seat space, should make the windows large (check the jazz).

Fuel economy, bit improvement in interior, engine pickup, ride quality, new color optionsBoot space, back seat space, small windows, nothing changed much

EXTERIOR

1. Maruti offers very poor quality body & bumper fittings
2. Back bumper should belowered to make loading easy

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

1. Badly fitted rattling interior
2. Boot space has been reduced
3. Reduce outside noise
4. Back is not split.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

1. Good tweaked engine
2. 18.5 kms/litre urban plus highway
3. Terrible gearbox groan in 3rd, 4th & 5th gear past 60.  Comes from poorly put together gear box.

Ride Quality & Handling

1. Good ride & handling

Final Words

1. Not good value for money. After adding on a good audio system, seat covers, foot mats, steering cover & alloys it costs as much as Hyundai i20, which is a far superior vehicle in every respect with many extra's like rear camera, extra leg room, bigger boot space, 4 wheel disc brakes & no waiting period for delivery.

Areas of improvement  

1. Gear Box
2. Reduce rear bumper height so loading a 15 kilo suitcase becomes easier.
3. Focus the lower bumper lights.
4. Improve the quality of Interior fittings & make sure they don't rattle.

Tweaked BHP, Good fuel economy, tilt steering, power windows & side view mirrorsTerrible gearbox grone, badly fitted interior noise.

Final Words

 i bought the new swift just 4 days back and found the speedometer not working and also the brakes and clutch plates are very loose , it was like the company gave me an old used swift and also at the time of delivery they even forgot to keep the antena , though the company is enjoying for the success of swift, it is losing its value in the urban market, please grow maruti suzuki and stop fooling the indian customers with your poor build quality

 

Areas of improvement  

 

 though you might enjoying for the success of swift, it is losing its value in the urban market, please grow maruti suzuki and stop fooling the indian customers with your poor build quality. the indian automobile market has grown enough and i request you to learn from the germans and the japanese automakers

 

 

good spacecheap interior , poor built quality

Exterior Awesome looks. Fell in love the moment i saw it.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Far better than the previous gen. Just did not like the power window switches, otherwise very good job done by SUZUKI.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox More than I expected. The engine is more smoother than I expected it to be. I've driven the Santro, I10, I20 and the beat and for sure this is the best ever engine out of the lot. The pick is smooth and way better than the lot. The second gear which I felt clumsy in other cars is a delight in here. I've only driven 50 kms by the way.

Ride Quality & Handling The new suspension let one glide over the roads. Good job.

Final Words Awesome. All the god job done now depends on the quality of after sales service. Hope i'm not dissapointed here.

Areas of improvement The power windows and the power window panel better be matched with the dashboard quality.

Looks,Space,Features,EconomyI could fine none.

I m confused for purchasing a car but after test drive i"ll booked that day When I purchase waiting period is 4 months in 2012, vdi model white colour interiors are looking fantastic and exterior best Superb car 22+ milage zero maintenance I love this car Everything gud nothing negative I recommend too all

First i will start with my buying experience: We brought our Swifty car by paying premium amount to the dealer as there was waiting period of 6 month at that time. This was the first car of our family. In terms of ride quality its is just amazing. you just need to push this car as much as you can and it will not be disappointing you in any road condition. It is very well balance it road even in sharp cuts you will be confidant with the staring feedback. i must say some time i feel staring wheel in heavier side. Since she is 6 years old but you will be getting amaze as it looks far better than current generation. I have done some modification to make it more attractive. Just an small update i have already drove my swift 1,20,000 Km with regular service in 10,000 km it never disappoint me any situation. I always use to go Maruti service maser for Service which cost me around Rs 10,000 per service(average). All the staff's are very friendly and even they started recognize me as they knew me and my car love. In terms of Cons: 1.Its just rear and boot space. 2. Paint Quality can me improved. In terms of Pros: 1.Just amazing 2.Value for money 3.Trust worthy 4. Easy availability of spare parts 5. Easy customization 6. etc... etc.... etc.... Last but not the list i will not sell this car in any cost till it get expired in my RC. <3 Hope you like my review if you need any suggestion or any information related to car just reply in the comment section Thank you,
