Maruti Suzuki Swift first drive : Swift Shift






The revolutionised the Indian car market. It was a watershed for the industry and from the Swift on car manufacturers started believing that they could launch contemporary cars that commanded a premium, that style was appreciated to such an extent that people were willing to pay for it. And now six years after its launch in India, the Swift becomes one of the few cars that move into their next generation without having reached the bottom of their sales charts and still being one of the leaders of their segments. Only a company like Honda has had the courage to do that repeatedly in the past while most of the others have succumbed to the temptation of selling two generations of the same car simultaneously.



What is of relevance is the performance of teh car and the contributing changes that have been brought in by Maruti Suzuki..
The absence of the right body material and the petrol tank in plastic, go much against the release and will not meet Intl standards is an issue.
The boot space has been reduced; it wouldnt have mattered, if the much announced 60/40 folding of the rear seat had been effected.
Definitely there is a face lift to the interiors, and also in the headlight etc..,but these are all cosmetic.
The audio control on the steering is a good step, but its absence will not affect the efficiency as those in bold above.
a pictorial presentation of the increase in shape/size/rear seat comfort should have been shown, if any.
Ms MS will have to hurry up and carry out an examination of the points mentioned above
