The Swift is infamous for being not the ideal product when it comes to build quality, while the EcoSport has proven its mettle time and again.
These images show the build quality of a Maruti Swift and Ford EcoSport. Swift is not well-known for being a solid and sturdy product. In various unfortunate incidents, it has not performed as the Maruti loyalists would have wanted. Apart from a couple of products from Maruti, the build quality is not something that it could pride itself on. On the other hand, Ford products have always been popular on the back of that reassuring rugged body that they possess. EcoSport is a prime example of that and we have seen that multiple times.
