Finally,Maruti Swift has made its mark in the Indian car market with superb performance. The car in fact has become a leading brand in a very short period of time. Suzuki's position as the world leader in manufacturing compact cars is well known. With cutting edge technological features, 'Swift' was created with Japanese technology and European styling -- the result was an innovative, sporty and elegant design.

Keeping in mind the Indian roads, the suspension was modified and good ground clearance was provided. The new chassis was developed and put to rigorous track tests. Finally, an all-new car came into the market. A 2005 debutante, the Maruti Suzuki Swift has won many awards including 'the car of the year,' from various motoring associations like Overdrive, CNBC Autocar and BBC-Top Gear, for its comfort, safety features and concept car like styling. A roaring success from the get-go, the Swift is available in five versions: LXi, VXi, ZXi (petrol), and LDi and VDi (diesel). These models are differentiated by their levels of safety and comfort.

Maruti Swift is powered by 1298cc, 16-valve engine that generates maximum power of 87bhp @ 6000rpm and maximum torque of 113Nm @ 4500rpm. The vehicle accelerates from 0-100 km/h in just 10 seconds, with a maximum speed of 160 km/h. The gasoline engine is equipped with MPFI injection system. On the other hand, the diesel variant of Maruti Swift is powered by turbo-charged 1.3L engine, which delivers power of 75 bhp at 4000 rpm and 190 Nm of torque at 2000 rpm. The diesel engine comes with latest CRDi fuel injection system.

Competitive pricing, a sporty engine and unique design have made it a very tempting option in the compact/hatchback segment. Swift has a good number of competitors namely TATA Indica, Hyundai Getz, and Chevy SRV and U-VA.

Its unique design has made Maruti Swift car a very tempting option in the hatchback category. The concept car-like styling and excellent build quality of the car makes it stand out in the crowd. Its compact dimensions allow it to squeeze into congested parking spaces. The peeled back headlamps, tight front grille, and stylized tail lamps are some of its attractive features. Bench-type rear seating of Swift allows three to sit and enjoy the ride comfortably. The cabin comfort is enhanced by automatic climate control system (in ZXi variant).

The high-end Swift comes fully loaded with added safety features and accessories including automatic climate control, driver seat height adjuster, 12V accessory socket in the luggage area, electromagnetic type tailgate opener, rear window wiper and de-mister, dual front airbags, Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) with Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), keyless entry and seatbelt pre-tensioners (In the event of a crash, a pre-tensioner will tighten the belt at once, thereby preventing the occupant from a sudden jerk). Standard features on the base model include power steering, air-conditioning, brake assist, seat-belts for all seating positions, child lock on rear doors and side impact beams.

As for the comfort, the Swift is fitted with front and rear electric windows. Central door locking facility is available only for the VXi and ZXi variants. All the three trims come equipped with 3-spoke urethane steering wheel. For all those who need reminders, the Maruti Suzuki Swift provides light off/key reminder. There is a driver's seatbelt warning lamp and door ajar warning lamp too.
