Maruti Swift

Finally,Maruti Swift has made its mark in the Indian car market with superb performance. The car in fact has become a leading brand in a very short period of time. Suzuki's position as the world leader in manufacturing compact cars is well known. With cutting edge technological features, 'Swift' was created with Japanese technology and European styling -- the result was an innovative, sporty and elegant design.

Keeping in mind the Indian roads, the suspension was modified and good ground clearance was provided. The new chassis was developed and put to rigorous track tests. Finally, an all-new car came into the market. A 2005 debutante, the Maruti Suzuki Swift has won many awards including 'the car of the year,' from various motoring associations like Overdrive, CNBC Autocar and BBC-Top Gear, for its comfort, safety features and concept car like styling. A roaring success from the get-go, the Swift is available in five versions: LXi, VXi, ZXi (petrol), and LDi and VDi (diesel). These models are differentiated by their levels of safety and comfort.

Maruti Swift is powered by 1298cc, 16-valve engine that generates maximum power of 87bhp @ 6000rpm and maximum torque of 113Nm @ 4500rpm. The vehicle accelerates from 0-100 km/h in just 10 seconds, with a maximum speed of 160 km/h. The gasoline engine is equipped with MPFI injection system.

The diesel engine comes with latest CRDi fuel injection system.

Competitive pricing, a sporty engine and unique design have made it a very tempting option in the compact/hatchback segment. Swift has a good number of competitors namely TATA Indica, Hyundai Getz, and Chevy SRV and U-VA.
