2021 Maruti Swift | First Drive Review | PowerDrift

It’s not every other day that India’s best selling car gets updated, so when the 2021 Maruti Suzuki Swift came along, we decided to take a look at its top 5 improvements, ranging from a refreshed front grille to a slightly massaged engine that now makes more power. As Rohan talks about these important updates, Ayan tries hard to make a compelling argument, but he always seems to be in a hurry, which isn’t surprising because he’s driving the new Volkswagen Polo GT TSI.

Never felt secure while driving swift. That thing sold when safety features were not that particular. Built quality is absolutely not worthy for the price we pay.

[@tejasdave2689]

Safety comes with good driving skills. If someone drives car with more than 80-100kmph then no one can save him. If safety comes with strong body then Paul walker wouldn't die in road accident in 2013 with imported foreign car or tiger woods wouldn't met with serious accident in March 2021.

Crash test is taken at 64kmph so cars wid 5 stars safety rating may or may not save u at 80-100 kmph... Crash test rating just doesn't make sense to me...

[@shantanuagnihotri]

@@hellfire9842 Agreed. But if that car scored 5 star at 64kmph, there are high chances that it will perform much better than the cars which scored less at same speed. Having said that, I am not saying that 5 start rated cars are best in safety but if we as consumers consider such cars thn manufacturers will focus on improving their safety standards. It's all about change. 😉
