Maruti Suzuki, the Indian Compact Car Giant has always caused ripples in the market with its design, technology and interior layout. But, when it is with the most modern technology at the best price possible and it has performance, efficiency and safety to add, the SWIFT stands out in a very modern and sophisticated crowd. This was perhaps the most eagerly awaited car launch of the decade. The SWIFT was developed totally on a new mindset - to create a Japanese car developed in Europe for today's global market.

The Swift is definitely the top model on the B-segment ramp, with its fresh approach to design and development. The swift has a broad stance and sturdy appeal, due to its wide track and smooth broad shouldered beltline which continues all the way to the tail-lights and the wheel arches lifting one's senses. The Swift stands out in a very modern and sophisticated crowd by impressing you with its stunning visual effects and really making its presence felt on the road. The wrap-around glass houses the upper body of the car, with the 'A' and 'B' pillars black coloured to further emphasise the sporty feel.

Inside the car, the cabin seems airy and really roomy for a compact car. Unlike the other hatchbacks on the road, the SWIFT also has an Automatic Climate Control System. Once in, you just set the specific temperature you want, and leave the rest to the system. The onboard computer controls act and ensure the desired results. The vertical gear knob, central console and dashboard jazz up the sporty, hatchback feels. The dashboard houses the instrument cluster, the glove box and central console, with slots for the music system, aircon controls, and so on. The centrally located instrumentation display includes a tachometer, speedometer, digital odometer and dual Trip meter. The dashboard and car interior are made of material with good quality and texture, which make the ride feel opulent. The door trims and other consoles too are nicely designed to give a luxury feel. The driving posture is excellent as the driver's seat has a height adjuster and a slide range that ensures optimum driving comfort. The Legroom is sufficient at the back too. Relax in the back seat: the bench-like seat allows three passengers to sit together comfortably. Or else, it can be folded down to create additional boot space for luggage (total luggage storage capacity: 368 hires). The Gear shifting is quite quick in the Swift, due to Maruti’s newly designed short stroke shift linkage and the dual cone synchroniser. The driving

The newly developed chassis with a longer wheelbase and broader Tubeless Tyres ensures superior road holding and control. The RBSS (Rally Based Suspension System) provides superior riding comfort both to the front and rear passengers. The chassis dynamics, the suspension technology, the wheels and tyres, 9’ booster assisted brakes, all contribute to the effective braking of the SWIFT. Its advanced technologies like the Antilock Braking System (ABS) and Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD) systems ensure that the brakes never jam. In fact, with a mere push on the pedal, the vehicle comes to a swift stop.

High-quality steel and blanks are used in the car's body shell to ensure its lightness and strength. The Swift includes safety features like airbags, a collapsible steering column and seat belt pre-tensioners and load limiters.
