Whats so special in New Maruti  Swift Car?

Dream of a car? We all want one, efficient, smooth running, with great pick up and of course good looks to flaunt. There are plenty of versions available in the market today ,  especially in India but which to choose and  how to select the best . There is no definitive answer but yes Auto tech has decided to analyse critically the new car launches in India based on factors that take in to consideration the overall picture of the car and not just one feature such as mileage, after sale services, engine performance,  maintenance cost etc. We aim to decide based on the rationale behind each and every aspect of the car instead of merely highlighting the features.

In this context, the first new car Autotech will analyse is the New Maruti Swift launched in 2014.

Exterior Verdict: The above pictures clearly indicates change in the interior and exterior of the car as compared to the older swift.Our verdict for exterior is since the new car is equipped with New L-shaped LEDs upfront ,silver detailing on the lower front bumper and tail Light LEDs , it is far better than the old swift.This feature makes it   more modern  & demanding in the present market as compared to its competitors.

Verdict about Interiors: The interiors are much better than the old one giving it more classy look. Air conditioners are horizontal and bigger hence better climate control than the older one.Seats have not much changed in looks. Special Interior features are:

•  Cruise control: Special data screen displaying various parameters in digital format.
•  Keyless entry : Cool feature,  more advanced
•  A button start:  This means that costumers need to worry about the keys.
• Integrated music system with Bluetooth:  We can transfer music from Iphone, Android etc.

Looking at all the features, we feel that  these new introductions gives swift more classy look but please don’t compare with interiors of high end cars.

Engine Performance: Petrol version used K series engine. Diesel engine is same as old swift.

•  Petrol engine Power: 85 BHP
•  Diesel engine Power : 74 BHP

Diesel engine generates lower power than petrol version. And If   we compare it to the old swift the power of the new engines is  slightly lesser than the old swift. This has been to do ensure high fuel economy since power is approximately inversely proportional to fuel consumption. But you don’t miss the smooth ride on straight and curvy roads which is similar to the feel of old swift.

• Petrol engine Torque: 114 N-m
• Diesel engine Torque: 190 N-m

Higher torque for diesel engine implies that greater rate of torque for diesel engine than petrol engine.Diesel engine will carry more load per min than petrol.But the spec s are same as old engine so expect same feel as compared to torque conditions.

All the new cars have manual transmission that means that you will be using gears to change the speed in five different modes (lower to higher speed)

Fuel economy: Our verdict is the new swift will have higher fuel mileage than the old ones due to lower weight of the car.Expect 4-5 % more mileage than the older ones.

Special Features: Features than differentiates the new model from the old model and makes it special buy are:

•   LEDs daytime running
• Cruise Control,                                       
• 16” alloy wheels                                       
•  Keyless entry with start/stop button,
• Classy dual tone dashboard,           
• New and attractive leather wrapped steering wheel,                                   
• Auto up/down feature at driver-side power window,                                   
• Renovated front grill
•   Renovated front bumpers.

Popularity:  High... Maruti Suzuki has strong brand name in India although it was loosing grounds but this time it seems with new maruti swift in the market they seem to  steal the show and play there trumph card. Swift is popular for its smooth ride, reliability and mileage.Cheap and excellent maintanence services helps  swift sustain in the market.

Second Hand Market Verdict:  High sellable due to its strong brand name and popularity among the public.

Maintenance and Servicing:  Easy to do it. Local mechanic also is capable of completely maintain the car.
