Maruti Suzuki’s money-spinning car Swift has reached yet another milestone by reaching the 1-lakh sales figure this fiscal (2008-2009), while it has recently crossed 3-lakh sales mark since its launch in 2005, the fastest by any model in the highest-selling A-2 segment.
Back in 2005, the Swifts launch not only created a new A-2 premium sub segment, it was immediately hot-listed by the media and industry. The car won the Car-of-the-Year in as many as 11 countries, including India, for its looks and styling, superior safety features and its ability to balance a dynamic driving experience with a safe and comfortable ride.
While it is popular amongst customers for its path breaking styling and its sporty drive, Swift’s superior fuel efficiency has added to its allure among customers. As per the ARAI certified fuel efficiency, the Swift Diesel covers 21 km in one litre of diesel while the Swift Petrol runs 15.9 km to a litre of petrol.
