Specs and Driving Impressions
The Maruti Swift carries a 1.2-litre 3-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol mill with mild hybrid technology. This results in a healthy power output of 82 hp. The host has the version with a 5-speed manual transmission. After the review, he takes it out on the road. He feels that there is something engaging about driving the Swift on the road. It is nimble and there is enough power and grunt in the engine for most daily activities. Furthermore, the steering is light, the transmission is smooth and the manoeuvrability is a special highlight of this car.
He mentions that the suspension can let a few bumps inside the cabin but it is not too bad. Interestingly, he even conducted a 0-96 km/h acceleration test. The popular hatchback was able to clock a time of an impressive 10.81 seconds. Thereafter, he performed a brake test from 96 km/h to see what distance it would take before coming to a standstill. It managed to stop in 38 m, which is decent. In the UK, the prices start at £19,199 (approx. Rs 21.14 lakh). That is a huge difference in comparison to India where the car starts at Rs 6.49 lakh.
