Maruti Suzuki Swift [2011-2014] User Reviews

Exterior It’s more or less similar to the old one but still the new version is a bit better than the old one, especially on the rear side. I like the kind of design where the model looks a bit bulky and looks bigger than it actually is, like vista and swift. So for me this one is perfect.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) For the driver and co-driver side space is no problem at all. The seats are comfortable and can be adjusted according to the requirement. The plastic quality is good, but still a beige interior would have been more effective I guess. The rear seats are good but still not as specious as "LEVA" and moreover the small windows add up to it gives you a bit cooped up feel. The new multi functional display is excellent and can give you the track of fuel economy and distance to empty. But the problem is the distance to empty works only when there is a pre defined amount of fuel in the tank (4 or 6 lts and above).

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox This is the best engine in its class (all hatch backs) the engine is very powerful and silent as well. The car is stable at high speed. The gear shift is precise and power delivered is uniform. But with AC on and at low speeds in 1st or 2nd gear i felt the power is not leaner (may be because of my driving style) you can feel some jerk. As far as fuel economy is concerned I got 14.7 in city with AC and 15.8 on highway again with AC. The car is yet to get its first service, so hopefully these figures will improve.

Ride Quality & Handling The ride quality is excellent; the car can take sharp corners without much of body roll.  The only thing i noticed is that the NVH level can be still better, there is bit of tire and suspension noise audible inside, especially on cement roads or bad patches.

Final Words Go for it but only when you are ready to compromise a bit on space. The boot is very small. But when you drive the car it makes it forget everything else.

Areas of improvement Space in the rear and boot.

Looks, Engine power, Fuel economy, Build QualitySpace in the rear, not as silent as i10 or i20

Exterior The new swift is more sleek, looks beautiful especially white color, I can compare it with old Ford Fusion.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The car is comfortable but seats are low, Dash board contains everything except temperature. I am not sure if boot space of swift is better than that of alto.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox IT has great pick up, good car for traffic where u need to speed up when every u get space .I have my doubts about gear shift ,maybe I was driving alto for years and i have not adjusted properly but will definately take it to the showroom.

Ride Quality & Handling The car is swift , just zoom's past other cars in traffic or highway.

Final Words Its an excellent car with all practical features attached to it. One can wait for few months and get ur hands on it rather than buying other car and later cripping that u wanted to buy this car but had too long waiting.

Areas of improvement The company should have provided Music system and ABS with VXI models.

Pickup , smooth drive, easy handlingGear change , rear seat space, low driver's seat

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Good.

Ride Quality & Handling Driving seat is not very comfortable.

Areas of improvement Braking system, I met accidents 3 times during my drive of almost 3 years and 33,000 kms. Most of the drive was on highways and my speed reamins in between 65 - 90. I felt that to stop the car suddenly, a minimum of 10 metrs distance is required, which sometimes is not permissible.

Fuel economy varied from 13 - 20 KMPL depending on no. of passegers and speed limit. As soon as car goes beyond 100 KM/Hr. fuel economy drastically gets reduced.

Rear Suspension system is not as good as that of other cars of same segment.

Clutch plates are hard from the begining. When ever I inform service manager during servicing, they told it is normal. As soon as the warranty is over, they are claiming that it is due to clutch pedal pressing during drive. It is purely cheating.

Last but not least, Maruti cars are known for chear maintenance cost & good service quality. Now a days, the servicing cost of Maruti is not as low as people expect and service manager can befool every customer in either way.

Good pick up, fuel economy, road gripPoor braking system

dear all,

i am going to wirte this blog on my harsh dejection with maruti suzuki cars (zen estilo vxi) earlier, i was of the view that maruti is no 1 car manufacturing company and its vehicles are a great possession. and also i used to recomend to all who consulted me about the purchase of 4 wheelars.  but now with my soar experience, i think i should have wasted my money. the engines they install in their cars are the worest one and quite of no. 2 in camparison to prepared by an ordinary toolsman who works at the corner of the street. at the time of the sell of the cars, the company claims that the engine will run around 2-3 lac km, but after selling they say the engine will need to be overalled after 40000 km. the worset of commitments ever made !!! in future, i will never purchase even an underweare having made by maruti, buying of the cars of the brand is out of question !!!! may the curse fall on fucked MARUTI !!!!

nothing which i can say that i feel good ateverything which is provided by the company is of 3rd class

Exterior of the car is really good the car looks really stylist also change my tyres and put new allows wheels which has helped the car to look more like a sports car.Putting a wider tyres has improve my ride quality also

 

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort):Maruti could have given a deck(tape) same of Swift DZire VXI atleast as the interiors looks really poor if we spending so much money on a car.I am really disapointed with Maruti as they are not offering a Tape in the VXI version.I specially requested the dealer to put the Deck of Swift Dzire VXI so that my Interiors are improved as the deck now looks a part of my daskboard only.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox:Engine is better then I-20 driving wise but have to drag the car on lower gears its not so peppy as Honda Bravio or Nissan Micra.but the money you are paying its good not that bad also.Fuel Economy good.

 

 

Ride Quality & Handling:Ride Quality is good but the brakes and suspensions are a little on a weaker side as Maruti could have given better braking symtems.I get problems in braking when I on a speed of 120 kms as in city driving its simply perfect

 

Final Words:The car is really good for the money we are paying,Ride quality is really good,but the only problem is that Maruti should have improved a bit on Interiors as they could have given a Deck(Tape) in the VXI this was just a drawback I found in the car but after putting the deck of Maruti Swift Dizer for which I paid 16500 extra my interior were complete.I request Maruti Suzuki Company to please provide a Deck in the VXI variant for better sales as I simply love the interiors of NEW hyundai 1-20 magna.

 

Areas of improvement:Maruti can improve in the interiors of the VXi version and also in thier braking system and suspensions.Also Maruti should give more features in the VXI and VDI models like Bluetooth connectivity,Aux and USD System in the Car also Deffoger Back Glass as thats the only drawback of the Car.Lastly Better Boot Space also. 

 

 

Liked the Exterior Look of the CarDidn't Like the Interior Of the Car

9 years of ownership experience was very nice. Car's mileage was excellent. Maintenance cost was low and quality was nice and driven 87300 kms. No problem wasn't there, all things were very nice and fully satisfied

Exterior When it comes to looks....the all new swift beats all its competitors....it's high end Aerodynamic design and the front grill is attractive enough that you would fall in love with it.....

 Interior (Features, Space & Comfort The all new Sporty steering wheel gives the perfect grip...Also the additional storage space such as Retractable cup Holders and storage pockets at the door gives sufficient space to carry our regular belongings... 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The engine is really smooth.It produces very less noise as compared to other cars of the segment and gives the meaning to its name....Swift!!When it comes to fuel economy Maruti Suzuki has always offered best in class fuel economy which is secret of its survival even after getting competitions from the Foreign rivals like Nissan,Chevrolet,Hyundai,Honda which are all concentrating on the same segment Swift belongs..... 

Ride Quality & Handling It's electronic power steering gives very easy and smooth handling....it feels as if you are driving a electric Dash Car....the ride quality is perfect enough that it will not make you think before going to long drives with your loved ones

Final Words It has been more than two decades and still Maruti Suzuki is favourite automobile brand for indians to buy a car.This is the reason that you can find a Maruti Suzuki service station even at the higher altitudes of Leh-Laddakh..Also the service cost of Maruti is much lower as compared to other automobile companies.These are few solid reasons that can change any mind who is all set to buy a car in india.

Swift comes among the largest selling cars by Maruti Suzuki because it is value for money..  

Areas of improvement Boot Space at rear seats could have been better,Also the size of window for the rear passengers should be readjusted because it is so small and gives a claustrophobic feel..

 

Stylish,Comfortable and Power Packed!!!Lacking boot space if compared to other cars of the segment...Interiors could have been better.

Exterior Excellent looks, very refreshing. Looks as if Marurti has got its style quotient right this time.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interior space is adequate if not huge. Little less of luggage space. Newly done dashboard is very attractive and gives a real premium feel.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine performance is great though have just driven few hundred kilometers after getting hold of my VXI on 15th of December.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality and handling is very refined. The power steering is silky smooth and makes it a treat to ride even in the narrowest of lanes.

Final Words Go for it even if it means waiting for a couple of months. Though in my case my car got delivered in a week's time, thanks to the excellent salesmanship of Mr Manjit Das of Pallavi Motors, Guwahati. Very efficient handling of customers by the mentioned dealership executives. Kuddos to them all especially Mr Manjit.

Areas of improvement A music system and rear defogger atleast for the VXI/VDI models.

Style, Interiors, Pick upNo Music system, No rear defogger

Exterior The all new swift is a real head turner, with its vibrant new colors and agressive styllng. The features that i like the most is the front part which semi skirted one, integerated with fog lamps.

My personal openion is that the rear part is not as good as the old swift. But after market moddes such as a sporty spoiler and muflers will enhance the look

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) I would say the comfort offered by swift is just amazng for that price tag. It exceeds expecation and found it WAY better that VW,ford rivals in the segment (Personal openion) which i had got for test drive. The tiltable power steering is real classy. It makes driving much easier.

CONS :The A/C cooling is good and not excellent, suzuki cud have increased the cooling efficiency.

The driver seat height is too low and the height adjuster is available only for top end model. I'm 6' tall and still have problems manuvering it, especially while parking AND HEAVY TRAFFIC.  

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Just mind blowing! 1st  and the 4th gear are ma favourites. I feel that there is a lack of power in 2nd and 3rd gears, when i enquired about it at marui svc they said the new vvt engine was designed to be so. But overall, the pick up and high speed is what makes swift swifter ;) It takes me to 0-100 in no time

Gear box is really smooth and gives u a premium feel. 2nd gear and 3 gear is not shelling out the power i expected(still dont knw wether its a problem with ma unit) and is not good for uphill climbs(we have lots of such roads in kerala). 1,4th and top is a drivers paradise and gives u a feel that u r riding a premium car.

Mileage Good. I am getting an average of 16-17 kmpl in city conditions(Semi-urban) with AC on all the time.  The multi information display which gives instantenous mileage helps us to maintain economy driving conditions.

Ride Quality & Handling Say gudbye to corners if u are driving a swift ;).. The rally based suspension along with unique design makes it the most easy to handle cars in india.. and the swift i got live upto its name and expectations and i am extremly happy with it TILL DATE.

Final Words Looks, handling, Autmatic OVRM with indicatars, Multi info displays and intelligent security systems, Cabin noise reduction and engine refinement are the best features i like. The turning radius and electronic power steering is real classy. The interiors is superb, the chrome plating and 2-din music system makes it more luxurious

Areas of improvement A/C cooling is the one that disturbs me the most. I have seen an another review of a user who got his car screwed up after repairing the A/C in an authorised SVC and a bit tensed about that. A/C cooling is not efficient as it has been in an alto and eeco which i had in ma garage earlier.

Other drawbacks are : Rear boot space is less, Absence of integerated Music player(lxi/vxi). Reduced booking/waiting period.
