Maruti is hoping the new Swift will set the sales charts on fire like the Dzire
Verdict – The Maruti Swift has been a hit in the Indian market in the past and nothing much is going to change with the third-generation car. We reckon that Maruti will price it competitively and there could be a price overlap with its elder sibling, the Baleno. However, the Swift customer is more of an enthusiast and someone who wants an engaging car to drive. The all new Swift is a vast improvement in practically every department and looks to be just another success story for Maruti with its quality interiors, a long list of features, potent engines and now with the option of automatic, it makes a very practical buy in the hatchback segment. Something on which both the mind and heart agree on.
What’s Cool
* Improved cabin space
* Option of automatic in both petrol and diesel trims
* Improved quality all around
* Steering feedback
* Ride and handling
What’s Uncool
* Still the same age-old diesel engine
* Possible chance of cannibalisation with Baleno
