Amazing car

Good cars, Looks so much good and a good runner in the Indian market. I believe it will create the biggest history in terms of a new three-cylinder engine with amazing speed and dashboard looks great.

Pvbhatt

Good elegent look . Good after sale service by Maruti dealers. Good Ride for family with kids. New wediing perfect gift for He & she. Only one lock on driver side door & no pocket for house hold things on either door except driver side.

Perfect car for an Indian family

Writing this review after driving for 30,000 + km, out of which drove more than 17,000 km on highways, and being able to drive consistently at speeds of 110-120kmph on highways. Never had any problem with the mechanism of the vehicle. From a seating perspective: can easily fit in 2 adults in the last row, if it's children then 3 comfortably. Renault's cost of servicing is a little on the higher side, Overall the experience has been great.

2024 Maruti Suzuki Swift First Drive Review

By Vikrant Singh16 May 2024

This is the new generation Maruti Suzuki Swift. And, it mostly sticks to the same formula that has made the Swift nameplate such a legend. As a result, it is a standout design. It is also light, nimble, and crucially, fun to drive.

Change of guard

By Vikrant Singh13 Oct 2012

The old Alto is out and it is being replaced by a slightly modern looking, but more spacious and fuel efficient version. So how much better is it?
