    Final Words Maruti Suzuki Swift has ruled the hearts of several Indians ever since its launch in 2005. But the origins of this car go way back to the year 1999, when Suzuki's sports bike Hayabus 1300R was launched, from which Swift, the car, is inspired. The fact that they had created the world's fastest production motorcycle encouraged the Japanese auto giant's engineer to take their success a step further. The power of the Hayabusa 1300R was then given the form of Suzuki GSX-R/4, which further evolved through the means of Suzuki's concept cars called Concept S and Concept S-2. Finally it was the concept S-2 that took the form of Maruti Suzuki Swift in 2005. It took a team of 21 Indian designers and engineers, who meticulously studied the car and transformed it into a ground breaking hatchback. This radically designed car wooed India with its performance, hence changing the history of Indian automotive industry, as we know it. But their endeavours did not end just their. In 2007, Maruti Suzuki launched a diesel version of the car that redefined the standards prevalent in the industry.

    And the reason behind this hatchback's massive success is no exaggeration, and is in fact, well justified. The primary reason being the technology that fuels this powerful hatchback, i.e. 1.3-litre petrol engine and the 1.3-litre DDiS engine. The petrol variant's engine was replaced by a 1.2-litre L K-series engine in 2010 in compliance with the BS IV emission norms. The 16-valve light weight DOHC petrol engine not only reduces friction, and provides faster acceleration but also delivers a power of 85.81bhp. The low maintenance engine provides excellent fuel efficiency with a mileage of 18.6kmpl. On the other hand, the 5-step Multi Injection Common Rail System of the diesel engine delivers a staggering mileage of 22.9kmpl, making it one of the most fuel-efficient cars to tread on Indian roads. Also, its turbochargers and intercooler combination results in not only efficient combustion, but also higher torque and clearer emissions. All that technology is further complemented by the provision of the new generation RBSS and improved transmission that renders it the best car in the segment. And Maruti Suzuki takes technology a step further with the safety facilities in the car. Dual SRS airbags, Boot Assist System braking, ABS and increased torsional rigidity are just a handful from a long list of safety-enhancing features found in the Maruti Suzuki Swift.

    Moving on to the design and looks, there is no second opinion about the fact that Maruti Suzuki Swift is indeed one of the best looking cars that India has ever seen. The car has been designed in such an extravagant manner, that it takes your breath away in a matter of moments. Aerodynamic lines, enhanced dimensions and an athletic stance make up for the bold, and yet stylish contour of the car. The sweptback headlights and the stylish vertical tail lamps, together with other stylish features of Swift's exteriors take the charm of the contemporary looks of this hatchback to a different level altogether. And the interiors aren't any less enticing. The 3-spoke steering wheel, the instrument cluster along with other defining interior features add to the overall aura of the car. This car is truly nothing like anything.

    Areas of improvement Yes, New one is really awesome and best.
