What owners and experts like about the Maruti Suzuki Swift
Handling
Strongly positivebased on 5 reviews
“When it comes to handling it is the Swift that takes the edge, it is much more sharper and because it's a smaller car it just turns tighter and that's always nice”
Seat comfort
Strongly positivebased on 7 reviews
“My father said the seating is upright, he likes it, it does not hurt the back (translated from Hindi)”
Where the Maruti Suzuki Swift falls short
Not every point below is a serious flaw. Some are mixed opinions where reviewers disagreed, and the label says which.
Highway overtaking
Strongly negativebased on 5 reviews
“Compared with my i20's 1.2 four-cylinder I feel it has less power; going uphill it climbs in second gear but not in third, I have to shift down again (translated from Hindi)”
Fit & finish
Strongly negativebased on 6 reviews
“Now and then plastic parts keep making noise... sometimes the front wiper rubber, some noise comes from somewhere, goes away, comes back (translated from Hindi)”
Rear seat space
Mixed reviewsbased on 8 reviews
“The people at the back will get less space if their height is above six feet... if you're over six feet I'd suggest looking at another car; up to 5'10" you can consider it comfortably (translated from Hindi)”
Engine refinement
Mixed reviewsbased on 9 reviews
“Put a bottle on it and the bottle dances on the three-cylinder... and you can hear the sound; put it on the four-cylinder [old Swift]... there is a difference between three-cylinder and four-cylinder (translated from Hindi)”
Ride comfort
Mixed reviewsbased on 6 reviews
“Its ride is slightly on the stiffer side... at high speeds, body movements can be felt in the car quite sharply”
