Maruti Suzuki Swift [2011-2014] User Reviews

While purchasing the vehicle from Maruti customer should read the documents properly they are asked to sign and should not sign the blank forms.As these documents will act as a trap for customer when they face any issues afterwards.

Areas of improvement

Company should take customer's complaints or suggestions seriously by taking appropriate action on it.

Company should take actions on false commitement from delear rather than encouraging delear by backing them for the false commitement.

Company should stop giving reason like production issue as excuse for all the customer queries as they are not accepting any excuses from customer.

 Cumpony should teach their executive and distributor to treat customer with honour as customer is paying for the vehicles they own.

 Maruti should work on their policies they follow with the distributor to decrease the malpractises done from the delear.Right now Maruti has strong documentation/policies for customer but not for distributor.Maruti should include some clauses for distributor as well in the order form.

Vehicle is good but Maruti has to work on keeping customers faith intact with company.Maruti ensure that customer will pay for the losses whether they are caused by mistakes from delear.

 

Exterior Same wine in new bottle. On first look it is very much similar as old swift.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interior not much change - new steering, no cd player, glass tray (india may be not required). Less boot space.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Good fuel economy and good gear box, CRDI engine is rocking.

Ride Quality & Handling Its good to drive same as old swift.

Final Words Maruti is Value for money.

I have already book Swift Dzire on the Rakshabandhan day - Because giving Rs. 6.50 k it is better to give 7.10 in dzire version (Its my personal thought). We expect lot from Maruti in this cut-throat competition.

Areas of improvement

1. Provide Alloy wheels in VDI and VXI model

2. CD player must be there

3. Very less space in dickey (Storage space).

4. By increasing in diesel price of Rs. 30k no very high mark improvement.

good fuel economy, style and comfortno cd player, no alloy tyre, all facility in higher model only

Exterior Exteriors are good, as compared to ford, i20 and skoda.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Features like CD Player, Bluetooth connectivity are missing in VDi. Comfortable for city as well as long drives too.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox I can overtake whom i want, no need to think for overtaking. engine is powerful, economical & Compact. From 0-100 in a blink of your eye.

Ride Quality & Handling Comfortable ride. Everyone knows the handling of MAruti cars, servicing and maintanance of maruti cars are very economical and you can get spare and service anywhere easily.

Final Words I simply love it. I love Maruti cars for spare, Service and Resale Values. The best part of Maruti is its Huge Service Network, wherever you go, You can find a Maruti Service Centre. Also the parts are not so costly and easily available.

Areas of improvement VDi should be equipped with CD Player, Bluetooth and atleast with ABS.

Interiors as well as interiors are very much refined with good fuel economy and comfort.CD Player & Bluetooth connectivity ..

Exterior Looks complietly Rock Solid from all the angles, My Sis was not having a craze of Swift models But she was also fasinated with the looks and interiors of the Carrrr when I drove to pune to visit her. I had a dream to buy a car from 2011 , Finally it got true on 6/2/2013. after a long research as I was not willing to waste by hard earned money. Swift Vdi 2011 was my initial choice later Punto Dynamic and I20 Magna Option Came to the Race, I20 was dropped as it costed me Extra 60-65 k in comparison to Punto and Swift. Punto was also out of the Race as Fiat makers were planning to get a face Lift for Punto that would be Punto Evo some where Third quarter of 2013.

Finally Booked 29 Jan and got the Delivery on 6 feb 2013 from Chowgule Industries in Panjim Goa. As I work in bangalore Everthing was done over the phone, emails , and Net banking, I just went to Sign Registartion Docs and taken the delivery by End of the day.Have to Say these guys are Great in terms of Customer Service

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Looks very Spaciaous from inside, Boot space is also Good, You can accomodate 3 people at the Rear Seat. I have done Floor Lamination,Delux Fliming, Under Coating, Internal panelling and paint protection and Sill guard for fours doors it looks Awesome, this all has costed me extra 16 k.

Dash board, Steering: Dash board looks amazing, Steering with Silver accent adds charm to it, Ac vents Seems good and features like central locking, Ovrm Movement is at its best.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox I learned driving from Motor Driving School in Banaglore got DL by paying Extra Bucks to RTO officer, Was very much Afraid to drive my New Beast as i cant drive the car in traffic,Finding difficulty in shifting the gears, But finally with the help of Frns Managed to Drive for Couple of days with minor Bruises on back and front bumper and left the car in Goa at my home and went to bangalore.

I returned back to goa after a month for Service and after left for Pune Via Sawantawadi, Kankavli, Kolhapur road, instead of being a starter Driver.

Complety Unaware about the roads Started from Honda Goa at 2.30 with 2 to 3 Minor Breaks reached pune by 11.30.With a small Bruise on the Front bottom Corner on the bumper Near Sawantawadi whereby a Mahindra fellow was overtaking a bus from front and by no means i have to turn to my left and there was a load of Gravel dumped to repair the road wherby front bottom bumper got chipped, I wished i would have applied break when i saw him, thought i would be able to make it, but I was wrong

Went upto 140 at that time I felt car is very light. Engine is smooth With Minimal Noise, And gear Box is very smooth, Pune Up and down Costed my 3200 r.s Diesel for 1075 kms. It gives 18 Without A/c   

Ride Quality & Handling Riding is having complete Fun in ghats as took Raigad, Amboli and Pune Ghat while Returining back, Its like a Cheetah on NH 4. Had a good competion With Innova, Scorpio, Skoda Rapid, And of Course Swift/Dezire.

My new Beast has touched 1674 kms and I am planning to bring to Banaglore in june so that I can taste the rides. Bit afraid driving in traffic

Final Words Just go for it knewing the facts that it has Fiber Fuel tank, Its Weighs less compared to the cars in same segment,Metal used to build is thin. Value for Money if it has been in hard way.

Areas of improvement Metal used should of a good Quality, Company Claims mileage as 23 but seems its only 18 or???

Funky Zombie ExteriorMetal used in the acr in Very thin.

Final Words

 i bought the new swift just 4 days back and found the speedometer not working and also the brakes and clutch plates are very loose , it was like the company gave me an old used swift and also at the time of delivery they even forgot to keep the antena , though the company is enjoying for the success of swift, it is losing its value in the urban market, please grow maruti suzuki and stop fooling the indian customers with your poor build quality

 

Areas of improvement  

 

 though you might enjoying for the success of swift, it is losing its value in the urban market, please grow maruti suzuki and stop fooling the indian customers with your poor build quality. the indian automobile market has grown enough and i request you to learn from the germans and the japanese automakers

 

 

good spacecheap interior , poor built quality

EXTERIOR

1. Maruti offers very poor quality body & bumper fittings
2. Back bumper should belowered to make loading easy

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

1. Badly fitted rattling interior
2. Boot space has been reduced
3. Reduce outside noise
4. Back is not split.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

1. Good tweaked engine
2. 18.5 kms/litre urban plus highway
3. Terrible gearbox groan in 3rd, 4th & 5th gear past 60.  Comes from poorly put together gear box.

Ride Quality & Handling

1. Good ride & handling

Final Words

1. Not good value for money. After adding on a good audio system, seat covers, foot mats, steering cover & alloys it costs as much as Hyundai i20, which is a far superior vehicle in every respect with many extra's like rear camera, extra leg room, bigger boot space, 4 wheel disc brakes & no waiting period for delivery.

Areas of improvement  

1. Gear Box
2. Reduce rear bumper height so loading a 15 kilo suitcase becomes easier.
3. Focus the lower bumper lights.
4. Improve the quality of Interior fittings & make sure they don't rattle.

Tweaked BHP, Good fuel economy, tilt steering, power windows & side view mirrorsTerrible gearbox grone, badly fitted interior noise.

Exterior The look is very good, when compared to Old Swift, which was like a Frog sitting ;), The Red color is quite awesome, when compared to the old Red.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The height in the rear seat is poor, even for a small bump, my head touches the roof. I am 5'11". The leg room is not sufficient for rear seaters. The bootspace is also very less.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox In highway, my mileage touched 20 kmpl. The car is brand new and hence I think will improve while doing car service. Noice is reduced, but not reduced much.

Final Words No ABS in VDi. This is absolutely unacceptable. Check with Skoda Fabia, which gives ABS and (minumum one) air bag even in the cost of 7L.

Maruti wants to improve the ZDi sale and hence ABS is provided only in ZDi. That means it does not worry about the safety of their customers, rather wants to make money.

Think who will buy ZDi, which costs close to 8L. In this case, I would go for Ford Fiesta middle variant which is 8.5L. Or even I can get Swift Dezire in that cost. So I get ABS, Airbags and Sedan type car.

Poor thinking by Maruti.

Maruti, due to the overwhelming response for Swift/Dezire, they does not care about the customers. This is not at all a good attitude.

Areas of improvement ABS in VDi. Strong outer body.

Style, Comfort, Tilt-able steeringNo ABS in VDi, High Cost, Huge waiting period

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is the same with good performance and fuel economy.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is fair enough. I found the steering too smooth. Handling is good.

Final Words The hype Maruti did and what they are offering compared to the price hike is a failure as per me. Making a vehicle light weight is definately going to give you extra mileage. They have just tried to copy what Ford is offering in Figo. But are not up to the mark.

Areas of improvement The bulky shape of Swift. Should be more slim to manuovere in the city traffic. The boot space is a big? I had also spoke to Maruti Customer care regarding the boot space and the rear seat leg room, last year. They have come up with the leg room with a crumpled boot. At the given price they should be offering Rear Wiper or atleast Rear Defoger, Music system. 

They have made a liitle leg room for the rear seats. Fuel economy due to light vehicle.Boot space is too less. No Music system provided. Pricing too high compared to competition (eg.Ford)

Exterior

 only the looks are good.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 has cheap plastics and boring interiors

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 average performance

Ride Quality & Handling

 VDI version costs u 7.15 lakhs on road without music systems, where for the same price u could go for a entry level sedan or a higher varient cars in its segment like, VW polo, Fiat punto. with more features and less to add further as they give audio system also. simply a price hike around 40k isnt worth. Just if u are a fan of MS SWIFT go for it. or else there are plenty of good cars with better features for that price.

Final Words

 go for it if you are really desperate for it and can shell out more money.

Areas of improvement  

 interiors and pls reduce the price. Just changing the design and raising the price by such a huge margin is really not appreciable

 

only the looks and popularityHighly expensive car in its segment and for the features.
