Maruti Suzuki Swift DZire [2011-2015] User Reviews

Exterior

 Looks good stright on and from the back. a litlle obscure from the side view

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 everything good. just 2 negatives---no defogger in Vxi model  and space for 600 ml bottles only in the door pockets.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 engine o.k. Could have been more silent though. fuel economy around 12.5 to 13  with ac ( as shown by the indicators). Gear box not butter smooth but decent. Steering is light. Good for City. haven't been tto much on the highway part.

Ride Quality & Handling

 Fine ride quality, good handling. Rolls a bit at sharp corners at the back seat. Handles potholes decently. Suspension is good. Ac cools effectively.

Final Words

 For 50000/- more you get a bigger looking car than the swift. End of debate.

Areas of improvement  

 Floor carpet should have been of dark colour. The thickness of glass in the doors is a desperate cost cutting example. bumpers could have been more solid. they are wafer thin( It is almost the same though in other brands). maruti should have been generous enough to provide De-fogger in Vxi Model

one major area for improvement is that place for Airbags at dashboard area in ZXI and Zdi models could have been designed for  storing of knick-knacks in the Vxi/Vdi  and Lxi/Ldi models.

 

a little bit above hatch classbuild quality

Exterior Classy exteriors, much better styling and looks as compared to the earlier version. The rear lights and the headlamp sections look much better.  Colours are much better.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Spacious interiors, very comfortable for even 6 people. Classy dashboard area with slick consoles, AC vents, and the colour combination.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Fantastic fuel economy and mileage. am getting about 20 km/litre.

Excellent pickup and power. The engine throttle even on 1st and 2nd gears are smoother and very powerful during pickup. The car reaches about 60km/hr in about 6 seconds- on highways.

Ride Quality & Handling Smooth handling and ride quality, except the clutch has to be pushed with a little more strength.

Final Words Overall good value for money- truly a CAR for the INDIANS!

Areas of improvement Design and styling could still be improved upon. The styling and exterior design of the boot can be further worked on. The metal strip  on the boot just above the number plate should be replaced with something more classier- perhaps a darker looking metal strip or left clean without anything.

Good fuel economy, excellent pickup and power, spacious.Design could be still upgraded, needs more sleek styling

Exterior I agree the Back looks awkward, but once furnished with a sporty spoiler the look becomes normal , the edges are fabuous and the alloy wheels  with 185/65 tyres looks amazing, although the sheet metal used is half of the size used in Modern Fiat cars, that may be for weight reduction.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Fabulous Interiors i think the best part is the wooden trim in multi color beige /black interiors, Auto Ac on Z rocks,. But y the hell did they provide Beige on floor, it gets dirty. Bad part is the Leg Spcace on rear, Boot is ok, can accomodate 2 Bags

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox magnificent Diesel engine, when compared to the Fiat MJ Engine counter parts : Manza, Fiats, Etc... Maruti has done awesome fine tunning to the engine, FE on Highway is 19+ city is 15-17

Ride Quality & Handling Susupensions are Good although not the Best, Handling is amazing on the Z versions, with wide typre, ABD EBS and other stuff rolling along, if you got Money buy the Z ones only.

Final Words Overall a very good car.

Areas of improvement Rear Leg Space, Blue Tooth Connectivity, Cool Glove Box, Increase the price and include a touch screen with rear cam and sat Nav for Z Versions.

Interior Handling Alloys Pickup FE(Rocks)Rear Leg Space

Exterior Good but not up to the mark.The boot space is smaller than compared with older version of swift dzire which is not good in new dzire.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Cool, good. Comfortable seats BUT ABS MISSING IN VDI.Now its more stylish when compared with the older one. Leg room is not sufficient For Rear.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox This is best in maruthi fuel economy around 20kms/ltr  performance is really superb thats why I pref maruthi.

Ride Quality & Handling 3 out of 5 ok but not bad.

Final Words I loved it. A good value for money. I love Maruthi cars for spare,service and resale value when compared with other brands. And the srvice network in maruthi is huge. Really when compared to others its fuel economy is good. Go maruthi keep going Swift Dzire.

Areas of improvement Boot Space,Better brake assist and ABS IN VDI. Waiting Period to be slashed amx upto one month. Their are lot of other cars in the market earning to go,so it must be reduced.

Good fuel economy,comfortableBoot space is too small for a sedan

It was my Dzire to own a Swift Dzire the day it got launched in Jan 2012.  I alsway wanted to go with Top varient since i did not want to compromise anything which maruti offered with this car. I waited for alomst 1 year for which i had to pay 1 lac extra then what it was when the car was launched. (This is because of the hike in Diesel Engine Duty and priced hike by Maruty). Finaly i got my Dzire ZDI in Jan 2013.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) This model of Dzire has a great interior but the Beige Floor carpet is worst to have in this car as it gets very dirty. The driving seat needs to be adjust properly so that the Part which is above the clustch does not hurt your legs while you press the Clutch. Boot space is enough I would say as this is a car and not a Taxi. The boot space given can easily carry 2 to 3 Suitcases.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Fantastic Engine, Engine Noise is very less if i compare it with VW POLO, Vento or Skoda Rapid. Engine is smooth even at 120 kmph. In the Full tank I drove from Daman to Mumbai, ran few kms in Mumbai and went to Shirdi and Back. After returning to Mumbai i drove few kms in Mumbai and did the Full tank again. The measured avg was 20.7 kmpl which is very good according to me.

Ride Quality & Handling Max Speed that i drove was 160 kmph and still the car was very stable. I usually drive at a speeed between 80 to 120 kmph bcoz this is the speed at which you get a good control and you enjoy the smooth Driving.

Final Words Very good car low maintainance so far.  

Areas of improvement Floor Carpet, Bluetooth in car Audio.

Good Fuel Economy, Interior, Music SystemBeige Carpet on Floor, Bluetooth in Music System,

Exterior Very expected, it is the swift with the boot. However, the best angle that the DZire was viewed from earlier was the rear 3/4th quater and that is now history.

So now instead of looking like a balanced sedan where the boot did not feel slapped on, it looks like a hatch with a puffed luggage bay tring hard to merge with a sedan.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interiar is very good and very comfort driving.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearboxought I have bought new dzire vdi, i have drive more  han 1500km but my everage milage very poor 14.5-15 KM/L also everage engine performance, gear transmission is very smooth.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is uptothe mark , but i felt the power steering was not smooth little hard comparitively another brand, I am not satisfied with ac in day time, especialy. 12 pm - 2pm, its very difficulty too cool.

Final Words NA.

Areas of improvement  rear speace little bit improvement required aslo dick space.

Exterior Look and Style is captivating, Its under 4meter car to save big car's tax. U can't expect more than that on such price tag.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Comfort is quite good so far. My car run more than 5000 km in just 80 days, still good.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Pickup is mind blowing in petrol variant cars thats what I have. I never drove deisel so I can't tell about it. Petrol version produce 86bhp of power on just 1198cc engine that tells quality engineering form Maruti Suzuki. But the exact power any car gives is depend on power to weight ratio. It won't feel you down on highway & even in city.

Mileage is awesome when we are talking about sedan. To be honest it gives me 20.2km/l (petrol) so far on highway and almost 19km/l with AC. And the secret of that is just follow your tachometer, do proper gear shifting and most importantly drive it yourself, don't let that masterpiece in the hands of driver.(They drive roughly).

Final Words: The best thing is that it gives you exquisite driving pleasure. Only Ford Fiesta, Honda City and Honda Brio are on top of this in ride quality but some of them may upset you in terms of mileage. Its road grip is also remarkable...Oh, I hate when someone else is driving the car and I am just sitting and wondering other side. Music player's sound quality and new dash board is also good, no complaints. Thats why its the best selling car in that segment.

Areas of improvement: The petrol car engine isn't noisy at all but you could here tyre noise clearly. I think legroom is bit smaller than Honda Amaze and Maruti Ritz. Well suited for upto 5.9 feet person(But I am not technical in that area).

Exterior

Very good

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

Very Good

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

Excellent but you should change oil after every 5000 km. for better engine life

I get mileage of 20 km during winter in the city driving and 21.5 kmpl on highways during winter

On full tank i drive more than 800 km without refueling. Pickup is very good. Brakes are good. Maruti must improve the quality of all rubber components in the car

Final Words

excellent car in the segment

Areas of improvement  

Nothing its a best car in the segment

 

Best fuel ecomomy 20 kmpl without a/c. city drivingspace is very good as per the car segment

Exterior The clowns in suzuki have killed a big seller. Reduced theboot and this looks akward. I am a dzire user formany years the one with the big trunk. I loved this car and now planning to replace it after many many years. I will not buy this new model cause i hate the shape of the car.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) All good enough to keep you happy.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Good or infact one of the best in its class.

Ride Quality & Handling Very good.

Final Words Dont buy the new model it looks wierd. Your car is a sort of your signature and the new model depicts a bad image of you.of course for people who dont care about the way they carry themselves it does not matter.

Areas of improvement Put the old model in the assembly line. You guys got the upper hand when competetion was low. Even mental retards wont dare to do what you guysdid to this nice car. Maybe you may lose a couple of potential Sx4 Cutomers. If you say that itwas to cut costs kindly say this excuse to retards.

Practical and proven carOut of propotion shape. something designed by a clown not an engineer.
