      Exterior On the first look,You see the very same swift we have all come to love.But when you look carefully, it has changed...and changed a lot.A bigger platform,wider wheelbase and a similier grill box are just starters.the grill cuts into the bonnet with such finesse and the lines on the bonnet gives the car a meatier look than before.The headlights sweep back beautifully and occupy most of the front side...the taillights are also coming to a sweeping curve into the body. The rear bumper has gotten higher and overall you see a sportier,younger and trendier swift!

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interiors have undergone a sea-change from the dull and drab looking ones to a more stylish and youthful design.Heavily inspired from Kizashi,the waterfall central console gives it a plusher feel.The plastics used are of a much better quality than before,though the side panels too need better switches to match!The Zdi and Zxi variants are richer by the nippon audio system and set of 6 speakers( of which 2 are tweeters!) with steering integrated audio controls.It boasts aslo of an intelligent voulme control that senses outside noise(so they say!)An Automatic climate control adds to the whole feeling.The 90 mm increase in space is evident in the backseat.also the front seat design too makes it a comfortable drive.A major frustration though is the lack of bluetooth connectivity and maruti needs to address this customer concern ASAP.

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The Diesel variant comes with the same DDiS Fiat engine that has served us deligently for so long.75 BHP of power maynot seem a change,but it still is the best in its class.

      The alloys are 15-inch and dont look the part.The 17-inch alloys we saw on the swift on intrnet are for european markets. But when you think about it,with the condition of indian roads,a 15-inch alloy is not so bad.

      Ride Quality & Handling When it comes to performance,it is simply more swift.The Diesel engine though same,has been worked on and tuned to match the indian customer. Though you may go for the gearshaft quite often,it still packs a punch.The rally based suspension adds to the whole drive and when you take it around tight corners,you will just love it!!!The polymer based fuel tank makes the new diesel swift 15 kilos lesser than its older one,but it has become a better,more responsible and fun-to-be with car now!

      Final Words A very well-known and best selling car has just gotten better!So much is the Audacity of the Maruti Suzuki that they comlpetely stopped a best-seller to revise and update the swift...but all said and done,it is a very good vehicle. go for it!

      Areas of improvement Bluetooth Connectivity(!!!),Boot space-or a 60:40 split rear seat has to be there.

      Plusher interiors,better handling,option of ZDi,subtle tweaks on the exteriorboot space is lacking,Bluetooth connectivity is nowhere,no 17-inch alloys on the car!

      Exterior Nicely deigned and roof antina is changed. Indicators in Side view mirrors are good.

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Excellent. USB input for audio system is an added advantage. Cup holder for Co-Driver is nice. The integrated music system from Panasonic for instance now plays through four speakers and two tweeters while the instrument cluster has a trip computer display with fuel efficiency data well. The display for time and outside temperature though also moves from the centre of the dashboard to this display between the speedo and tacho dials.

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Nothing is chnaged to Engine and gearbox.

      Ride Quality & Handling Good road grip, great pickup. Interior noice is reduced.

      Final Words Over all its a good car. Fun driving. Spacious, fuel efficient, comfort, value-for-money.

      Areas of improvement Design and Noice. Earlier there was no hign end model in Swift. They introduced high line version of Diesel ZDI in new Swift. Thanks to Maruti.

      Spacious, fuel efficient, comfort, value-for-moneySimilar exterior design, small boot.

      i am doctor by profession. purchased newly launched swift facelift ZDI. i went for a long drive with family and unfortunately tyre got punctured. when took out stepney tyre it was not alloy wheel. i still went ahead and put on the stepney wheel. but when i saw tyre number, it was different i.e. 165/80R14 where as the rest of tires were 185/65R15. on calling toll free number they told me stand where i am and offered to send crane for lifting the car. told me further to arrange for my conveyance till home. it was so rude n crude. nobody has any information regarding this. please go for better brand of cars. Maruti is fast loosing credibility. i regret why i bought two maruti cars just 2 months back.good stylestepney tyre is notan alloy wheel. even radius is 14R as compared to 15R for rest of the wheels

      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 The styling is not much to speak about and different that the old swift, but if you look closely their is a lot going on. The Bumper is now different and made of a different material to absorb most of the small impacts. This is some thing similar to a ford figo. The head lights are bigger and the tail lights have a totally new design. Also on close inspection you will find that the grill has also changed. The new swift is now longer and wider as well, only marginally though.

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interiors have been a strong selling point of the old Swift and the new swift will please you even more. The interiors are best in the class and I think only I20 has better interior design. The new dashboard is easy on the eye and gives you all the required info at a glance. The central console is all new and very neatly done. The Zdi also get s the top of the line music system yhat is fitted in  kazashi. Swift is miles ahead of any car when it comes to features and comfort & a little more space could be handy, though some efforst has been put to increase the space.

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The engine is a fab 1250 cc diesel one and better than the ones available in a figo or liva.Fuel economy is right up there and the gear box is silky smooth. The engine has little knocking on steep inclines even with the ac on and you dont have to change gears often.This is better than a figo or a liva.

      Ride Quality & Handling Swift is lightyears ahead of a liva or figo when it come to handelling and ride quality is excellent. The liva though is a little ahead in ride quality. The rally suspension comes in handy in the all new swift and you can eat up miles in comfort.Even my wife is very comfortable driving a swift and she speaks highly of it. Kudos to maruti.

      Final Words A geart car over all and if you want a car which is fun to drive and comfortable at the same time, look no further the new swift zdi is here. Great milage, truckloads of features and good value for money means that it will take some efforst by other car makers to produce a swift killer.

      Areas of improvement Rear space could have been more given that the width of the car is 1695mm which is the same as a liva or vista.

      Swapneil Ranade.

      Fantastic features and a good price to match, over all a very good car to own and driveSpace inside could have been better and the waiting period is 100-285 days depending on model

      Exterior Style Statement, Alloy Wheels are trendy & give a decent sporty look.

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) All Features in the ZDI Variant are excellent. Space is appropriate & long rides are comfortable for 4 adults & one child.

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Excellent Engine Performance for the First 1000 kms. Fuel Economy of 20 kmpl for mixed Highway & City Driving. Gear Box is smooth as Butter. No hassles while down shifting or upshifting. Good Torque on Demend while Overtaking.

      Ride Quality & Handling Ride Quality is very Good both on Plain as well as Rough Roads. ABS works well when required. The Wider Tyres give stability on Roads during High Speed Driving.

      Final Words I am fully satisfied with my New Car.

      Areas of improvement In Built Blue Tooth Handsfree needs to be provided. Rest all features are in place.

      Exterior Looks wise I would rank the car no:1.No other cars in its class has its sporty looks.I feel that i20(main competitor) has a sober look.

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Dash Looks good and everything is finely integrated.But the quality is not upto mark,considering the money we pay.

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Rocking performance.Gearbox is like butter and its the one which make me to forget the turbo lag. Nice thing is that the new swift is a good blend of (POWER+PERFORMANCE+FUEL ECONOMY).

      Ride Quality & Handling Gives you confidence while cornering and has almost negligible BodyRoll.Ride quality is fair and its compensated to some extent for handling.

      Final Words If you want a good city and highway car,which should have a classy look,rocking performance,good FE,low maintenance and a good resale value--------> GO FOR SWIFT

      Areas of improvement BOOT is too small,consedering the size and class of the car. Panel gaps are not even. No other things to complain to complain about friend.

      Looks awesome(best in class),performance,maintenance,Resale valueFeels a bit over priced

      Exterior I love the design of swift if it is aged.

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The chrome grill is very attractive.

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox First thing to mention am very old owner of swift and again I feel to buy the new maruti swift ZDi only I struggled to change my decisions to go for other cars but I am not able to do. After a long research of cars for 2 months I hardly liked 2 cars Toyota etios liva and Cheverolet sail but Toyota is very good in comfort and handleing but still am not satisfied with the interiors buy puting so much money I feel iike it not worthy to the cost. coming to sail I like the car very much and cons is am bothered about service. After completing 1lakh km in my swift i had never felt like old diesel engine I had used very roughly can say like a cab but once I get my car back from service I feel like new car. One thing from my first day of the car I have a Left front break problem it sounds and I feel like it's stuking I feel panic but I never went to sever issuses.

      Ride Quality & Handling I had drove my old swift at 150 speed with 5 people and AC on and I feel like this is the grip to show at this speed.

      Final Words I feel like i had taken a good decision after reading all the revies about other companies service and cars.

      Areas of improvement Breaking when I testride the new swift VDI I had faced the same sound like my car sounds and I asked the executieve also there is no reply. So thought of going to ZDI only reason is ABS. I had lot to say about other companies how they are attracting us with offers for non worthy cars first is volkswagen polo. but every one wants new I preffer Swift again.

      Excellent when compare with all other cars.In VDI they would have provide height adjustment
