As the company has kept that same design over a long time with nothing exceptionally changed to make heads turn, the new Swift which is just launched, lack certain examples that its rivals have honed a way back. Doing a full review against the competitors like Volkswagen Polo facelift and Hyundai i20 Elite of the new-generation, following are the facts that have oozed out of the gist.
Dimension
As the new car is just a facelift with minute nip and tucks, no dimensional change, it’s obvious for the Swift not to play a leading role this time. So, on this note, Elite i20 is possessed with longest wheelbase as well as width and length. Swift remains shortest all the way on all those dimensions, except for a sufficient width. Volkswagen Polo is sufficed on all the ends maintaining a not so-high or extremely low profile.
Engine
In the tug of war over petrol trims, Hyundai Elite i20 and new Maruti Swift managed to score distinction with 4-cyliunder motor, where VW is left behind in trail of both, horsepower as well as number of cylinders offered.
Overview
Yet on the dimension, Maruti fails to entice up its image despite being a late entrant in the market. Narrowest and with the shortest wheelbase it doesn’t comes generous in offering space.
Looking at the overall data, new Swift doesn’t seems making sense on the purchase list, exceptional that it suits the pocket size, but still doesn’t possess a not so wide price gap against its rivals.
