Detailed comparison betwn new swift and figo

Exterior Not much difference than old model. Length old 3760 new 3850 increase in 9cm. figo l -3795. wheelbase-old swift 2390,new-2430.increse in 4cm. But for figo,wheel base is 2489, 5.9cm more than even the new swift. that means more space for passengers in figo. Width old swift-1690mm, new 1695. difference is only half cms. For figo width 1680, without orvm. same as ritz. more width of swift is wasted in its bulky shape and has not contributed to interior space. The horizontal lenth of seats of new swift is same as figo and ritz. height old swift and new 1530. figo height 1427. boot space old swift 232l, new 210l, figo massive 284l.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Dash board of new swift looks very premium than old model and figo. New passenger side cup holder,bottle holder on rear doors, boot opener on dash board[figo was first to introduce this feature in small cars]. silver inserts in dash and door opener looks good. silver inserts around ac vents at centre looks good.but this is available only in vxi/vdi. Rest of all features  of figo and swift vxi /vdi are same. Additional feature of vdi swift is tiltable steering. Zxi gets steering mounted audio controls. Additional feature of figo thaan swift include rear wash wiper, drivers seat height adjust, [only in zxi of swift], cargo area lamp[absent in swift even in zxi], speed sensing volume control aided music system[only in zxi/zdi of swift]. Music system has blue tooth connectivity in figo not in any version of swift.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox For performance there is no match for fiat based ddis engine.[i own a ritz with the same engine and a figo petrol zxi versions]. In swift the diesel and petrol  engines are slightly tuned.the sudden gush of torque felt in old swift/ritz is slightly diminished in the new swift diesel.petrol engine better tuned than old one. Suspension of mew swift improved which enhances sporty ride. Figo's engine cannot match both petrol and diesel engines in performance. Diesel figo is more powerful than petrol.

Ride Quality & Handling Here figo scores more than swift in my opinion.figo feels more planted with less body roll.u can throw the car around the corners with much confidence.figo,s hydraulic power assisted steering is more accurate and responsive than swifts electric power steering.stability is also much more in figo.the light weight of swift has a tendency to go out of control at high speeds.

Final Words If u want a car with performance,image and sporty shape, go for swift.but if u want a practical and value for money car with good solidly built body,with more boot space and passenger space including more features go for figo.mileage for swift and figo diesels are almost the same.

Areas of improvement In case of swift the metal used for body is very light and get damaged by slight hit.the use of polymer plastic petrol/diesel tanks is not agood move.shedding of nearly 30kgs from the car has affected stability at high speed and strength of the vehicle. for figo the interior should be made more premium like swift. again the engines are not powerful enough to completely utilise the chasis strength. the engines do their job neatly but are not frugal for sporty ride. but ride quality and control are really good than swift. finally for swift the pricing is very high compared to figo. swift vdi on-road price is 6,17288 that too without musuc system, rear wash wiper etc.zxi/zdi 7,01853. with this price u can comfortably but a diesel sedan say swift desire.figo zxi diesel on-road price is 5,74000 including drivers seat height adjust, music system with blue tooth,rear wash viper etc.the top end diesel titanium is only neraly 6,30000.only difference is figo titanium doesnt have steering mounted audio controls. so now its upto customers to decide.
