Maruti Suzuki Swift [2011-2014] User Reviews

Exterior Looks very good, style.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Looks decent,good interiors.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Average fuel economy (Compare to other cars, its good), Worst gear box and No pick up and power in 4th Gear in petrol version. The worst breaking system i have ever seen (even in maruti cars).When you are in 1st gear and slowly moving City traffic, its horrible to stop/handle the car. If you apply breacks, it wont stop; your car still moves and break Pedal gets hard and hard. These showroon buggers (Even they knew) are telling that Press CLUTCH fully and apply breaks, it works out. But it doesn't work out in real traffic.

Ride Quality & Handling Good ride quality, handling but not like older Swift model.

Final Words Not at all worth for that price Petrol/Diesel top end variants. These bloody buggers are just saying swift swift. and cashing the demand, thats all, nothing else.

Areas of improvement NA.

Good Looking,Good Interiors,Driving ComfortWorst Build,Body Qaulity,Worst Breaking System,Boot space,No Pick Up&Power at all in 4th Gear in Zxi

Exterior Will look like a beast n cannot imagine its power

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)superb.....every thing is great

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The most important matter that I hav to discuss. The car gross weight is 990 kgs and the power to weight ratio is 91hp.......where u can take ur car upto 185kmph on Indian roads. Fuel economy is amazing when Nitrogen is filled in tyres. I can make my car efficient upto 21kmpl on highways and 15-18 in traffic. what else do u need apart from this. i like the music system the most, it is spectacular. I named my car as 91 horse. Great pulling power that u feel ur cart is pulled by 91 horses at a time. Coming to gear box, it is not that butter smooth but great.

 

Ride Quality & Handling I can corner my car at the speed of 125 kmph even at sharp curves......15 inches tyres help u the most and u get it only in top model. So try for it. Handling is fantastic.

 

Final Words: I observed the second gear is worse in hyundai cars..........but not in suzuki.....Long live suzuki......true value for money.........I love my car the most.

 

Areas of improvement  Ahh the only area of improvement is the boot space. Every thing has already been improved.

 

 

powerful 91hp engine........revs that u loveboot space

Exterior Finish is good. The curves are much sharper than the earlier version.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Features are the same as the earlier version Instead of the analog meters they could have gone for the digital meters which is currently there is many cars.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine performance too good. Earlier i had driven the petrol version and was thinking diesel would be much slower but on driving this vehicle my opinion has completely changed about the diesel cars. The  pickup is too good can say better than a petrol version. The car does not sway at high speeds on highways and very stable. The car is highly fuel efficent and is averaging around 18 to 19 on highways without any issues.

Ride Quality & Handling The car is easy to handle at high speeds and the ride is enjoyable as the car is agile and  performancewise superb.

Final Words For those buying diesel hatch back the best car available go for it.

Areas of improvement Boot space very much restricted which needs to be improved.

Pickup very good; Finish better than the earlier versionLess space for those who sit behind

Exteriors nice-though not as stylish as the DZire. turn indicators looks nice, though I dont like the black color on the front pillars-body colors looks better. 

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) -  Dash board looks nice and uber. Steering mounted controls,aux-in, usb and instrument panels are great. auto climate control dos away with the big knobs of most manual AC, music system with remote is good. Most features are the best in this segment of cars. The only drawback is that it is not as spacious as a Vista or a Jazz but for two people it is adequate. I felt that there are some amount of jerks experienced in start stop traffic and uneven roads (both common in most indian cities). Also, the seats at the back are fixed and do not collapse to make more room for luggage. The seats could have been a bit more inclined I feel. Overall, great features, manageable space, but low on comfort.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox - Gear Shifts are smooth, engine noise is quite low, fuel economy is almost the best in the segment.

 

Ride Quality & Handling - lacking ride quality - this area can be improved significantly. Handling is good and smooth.

 

Final Words - If you are the usually using the car for 2 people it is the best deal for you. However, if you are a small family, you must try a ride at the back seat before making your final call.

Value for money,Good performance and fuel economy,Auto Climate Control, Loaded with most featuresRear leg room barely adequate,no collapsible rear seat, less cmnfortable ride for rear passengers

Buying experience was fine. Riding experience is great post 2000 Rpm. Maintenance is really low. Pros: Reliable, clutch is very soft, gear change is smooth Cons: Not consistent with respect to the security

The back seat is not very great in terms of leg space and under thigh support and never forget about the trunk size , if you are 4 people going on trip trunk can manage 4 backpacks only . you don't have license to take even a small suitcase for each. This problem even increase with new swift. But overall its a good car for city driving and it is good on pocket of buyer as well.

Exterior Looks wise I would rank the car no:1.No other cars in its class has its sporty looks.I feel that i20(main competitor) has a sober look.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Dash Looks good and everything is finely integrated.But the quality is not upto mark,considering the money we pay.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Rocking performance.Gearbox is like butter and its the one which make me to forget the turbo lag. Nice thing is that the new swift is a good blend of (POWER+PERFORMANCE+FUEL ECONOMY).

Ride Quality & Handling Gives you confidence while cornering and has almost negligible BodyRoll.Ride quality is fair and its compensated to some extent for handling.

Final Words If you want a good city and highway car,which should have a classy look,rocking performance,good FE,low maintenance and a good resale value--------> GO FOR SWIFT

Areas of improvement BOOT is too small,consedering the size and class of the car. Panel gaps are not even. No other things to complain to complain about friend.

Looks awesome(best in class),performance,maintenance,Resale valueFeels a bit over priced

Exterior

 The exterir is good looking and attractive, nicely designed car

Colour quality is good, they should some with some more colours

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 - When you get inside the car you feel premium, nicely designed interiors, plastic quality is good all the controls are good.

Ya seats are very comfortable especially the front ones

Bootspace is good enough you can put your one airportbag easily - I tried actually

- I feel that there is space limits in the car I am 5.4" I feel that head room is good but foot space is not great may be due to design of the seat or that handle given to adjust steering wheel height which touches my knee all the times when I get in.

- AC of the car is good and works well, generally when the car is hot dont expect too much - for that I open all 4 windows with AC on for 5 mins and close it to remove hot air from cabin - then it works fine.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 - Very good engine I am using VDi - the performance of car is too good.

-  Turbo charger works just well when you press the paddle it just feels like driving racing car this is the reason I bought this car.

- Engine noise in not much once you close all glasses and put on the music its silent, you wont even feel you are driving petrol or Diesel!!

- I tried lonavala ghats and other ghat - believe me this car goes on ghats just effortlessly very powerful engine.

- I have touched around 130 + on Pune-Mumb Expy goes very well with confididence

- I use it for my daily travel in Pune City(Hadapsar-Hinjewadi) I get 20 Kmpl - yes actual figure 80% of the time AC on.

- When the engine was new I went on long drive of around 500 Kms at that time I got 23 Kmpl on highway with 100% AC on!!. also in City I was getting 19.8 till it completed 7000 KMs after it it automatically started giving more milage!!

- After around 8000 Kms I feel that the Engine is rouse and internal part polishing was done and engine became very much smooth and responsive.

Ride Quality & Handling

 Good, nice on corners and sharp turns

Final Words

 - Good car withing this budget.

Areas of improvement  

 Space, Break some times give good types make Alloy common with VDI at least and above

 

Good power, Pick up, Fuel efficiency, HandlingSpace

Exterior It's very easy to remove the paint from car. Car is dust loving.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Very less space at back side.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Good everage 25 KMPL-Gear shifing issue

Ride Quality & Handling Good but not the best compare to 2009 model of swift

Final Words Sometimes It's very hard to move to reverse gear, I was suggested to leave the clutch paddle one more time to get smoothness. I received a defective product where the car was stucking on 1st gear. After communicating from Sales person, HR Manager, Cleaner, Jr Manager from Kataria Group, General Manager from Kataria Group, Territory officer from Maruti Suzuki, they aggreed to replace Gear box as whole.

Issues still considearing as feedback as follow:

1) On blurred or blunt road surface, dashboard reflects with cunning noice. They aggreed that all 2015 Swift VDI uplift car having that facility

2) Gear stucking in moving to reverse. They aggreed updon that it's because of the technology which they used.

Areas of improvement Customer satisfaction, Qualititative product.

Fual EconomyGear shifting issue, cunning noice from dashboard, worst painted car
