Maruti Swift

Positives:

The hatchback's cabin has good headroom, legroom, and shoulder room for four occupants.

The interior gets some storage in the central console, usable door pockets in the front doors, and a reasonably spacious boot.

Moreover, the car gets two cup holders in the front and bottle holders on all the doors.

The Swift sports features like a multi-information display, rear AC vents, cruise control, Suzuki Connect telematics, and a wireless charger.

Maruti has smartly angled the infotainment system towards the driver for improved reach and ergonomics.

This SmartPlay Pro+ infotainment system has a nice-sounding music player.

Negatives:

The carmaker missed the opportunity to equip the hatchback with a sunroof.

Accommodating a third occupant in the second row is a tight squeeze.

The car gets an analogue unit instrument cluster with a small digital display in between, instead of a modern digital MID.

Positives:

• The car boasts six airbags, hill hold assist, ABS with EBD, ESP, and reverse parking sensors as standard equipment.
• It also gets a rear parking camera, speed-sensitive automatic door lock, and a day and night adjustable IRVM.
• Other equipment includes ISOFIX child seat anchorages, seatbelt reminders (front and rear), and a high-speed alert system.

Negatives:

• The Swift could score just three stars in the Euro NCAP safety rating.
• The carmaker hasn't equipped it with any ADAS functionalities.

Positives:

• The Swift stands out with its exterior design language and is easily recognisable due to its sporty looks.

• There are several monotone shades, including Luster Blue, Sizzling Red, Magma Grey, Pearl Arctic White, Splendid Silver, and Novel Orange.

• Customers can also opt for dual-tone colours with red, blue, and white exterior options with a Midnight Black roof.

• Its top-spec version is equipped with smoked projector headlamps featuring boomerang-shaped DRLs.

• The appearance is enhanced by glossy black grille, precision-cut dual-tone alloys, and C-shaped taillamps that add flair.

• Inside, the Swift's cabin uses an all-black layout with faux metal inserts to break the monotony.

• It has a dashboard with a layered structure and some texturing on the black plastic.

Negatives:

• The Swift has become expensive but its cabin lacks a premium look and feel.
