Maruti Suzuki Swift is the most popular hatchback in India and it has held that mantle for more than a decade now. Ever since it was first launched in 2005, it has received a very high acclamation from all critics and became the personal favourite of the middle-class man. There are many reasons why the Maruti Swift has gained such a high appreciation and reputation. Here are the top five reasons why you should consider the Swift over any other hatchback in the segment:
1) Mileage: The Swift has a class-leading mileage of 22 kmpl and 28.4 kmpl, for the petrol and diesel variants respectively. This has been achieved by switching the earlier platform for a lighter HEARTECT platform, which is claimed to be more rigid and strong than the earlier one. These mileage figures are more than the ones in Ciaz which has a Smart Hybrid system for increased fuel efficiency.
2) Resale Value: The Swift has the highest resale value, some in the best condition selling for nearly 85% of its original price after 3 years, and for 65% of the original price after 5 years. There is a huge fan following of the car in the country and there is a high demand for the car in the resale markets.
3) Spare Parts And Service: The popularity of the
Swift is such that there are mechanics all over the country who can provide you with assistance if your car breaks down anywhere when you are travelling. There is an easy availability of spare parts all over the country through the authorized dealership and spare parts network of Maruti Suzuki or even the roadside mechanics in remote areas.
4) Features: With the technological advances that have been made in the industry, the all-new Swift gets all the new features such as the touchscreen infotainment system with voice command, ABS with EBD, airbags, steering mounted controls, auto headlamps with LED Projector Lamps, and LED Daytime Running Lamps.
5) Easy Modifications: The all-new Swift is quite easy to modify whether it is with the body kits, exhausts, lights, audio system, suspension, rims, and tyres. One of the best looking modifications done to the Swift was a lowered suspension, an added spoiler, and wider tyres, which completely changed the perspective of the car.
