Maruti Suzuki Swift LXI (O)

The Maruti Suzuki Swift is a fun and agile hatchback, ideal for city driving. The engine performance is responsive, and the manual transmission is easy to handle. It’s highly fuel-efficient, making it light on the pocket. The safety features are basic, with airbags included, but the boot space is smaller compared to some competitors.

I love the Maruti Suzuki Swift for its great fuel efficiency and smooth engine performance. The manual version I drive is responsive, and the space inside is good for a small car. The boot space is adequate for day-to-day use. It’s stylish and affordable, with decent safety features like airbags.

Maruti Suzuki is these days not very serious about the build quality and safety of the cars like they used to be when talking about their older cars. There were no standard dual airbags but build quality was just awesome and same case was with the first generation Swift. Styling was no doubt phenomenal and that's something even the new Swift has but the comprise is there very much on the build quality in latest one. The 1.3-petrol engine which Maruti Suzuki offered was very much fun to drive and acceleration was just brutal in cities. Steering wheel is great for the cities but if talking about feel and feedback then that can be judged only on highways. LXI model didn't have any power windows and stuff but one thing that was insane was air conditioning as it doesn't make very much noise. Reliability is if course great as Maruti Suzuki cars do not lack on spare parts availability. Gearbox will surely be a trouble if you try to shift to first gear as my Swift already has a very tight first gear otherwise every gear is great.
