As we know, the 2024 Maruti Swift has switched from a 4 cylinder to a 3 cylinder engine which has caused a great deal of debate among car enthusiasts. Yet, there are some who claim it’s a downgraded product — with arguments against refinement, vibrations and driving experience in general. There are those that argue it’s an upgrade, citing better fuel efficiency and perhaps better low end torque. The debate usually rages on to how the new Swift's engine stands against other 3 cylinder engines available in the market, be it from Tata or Hyundai. The change has also prompted questions on Maruti's hatchback segment strategy and how it will impact the Swift that has been the go to car for Indian consumers for its reliability and performance.
