Unladen Ground Clearance - 163mm Kerb Weight (MT) - 920kg (AMT) - 925kg

[@TraderPsyche96]

We certainly have a argument.. we are not getting cng level fuel economy like grand vitara without compromising on boot space without hybrid

[@ashokp2236]

Not the best review I have seen. The entire review says this car is for city drive but the entire drive in this video on the highway

[@gouravbose8105]

Rohit Sir SWIFT 1.2 AMT or Fronx 1.0 Turbo AMT which one to pick for considering price premium of 3.50 lacs in top trim

[@VikasJaink]

Fronx Turbo doesn't come with AMT it comes with AT. Better buy is Baleno AMT Alpha. It's 40k costlier than Swift VXI+ Alpha.

[@gouravbose8105]

Which one is better AMT or AT transmission Rohit Sir

[@rohit_paradkar]

I would settle for the Swift. Fronx is good but I won’t spend 3.5 lakh more for it. As for your second query I prefer a torque converter AT to an AMT

[@swayam759]

​@@gouravbose8105 a torque converter AT is miles better than the AMT

[@paulmorais476]

👍

[@rbernardify]

It looks better than the out going Swift.

[@M4NA5]

Suzuki be like: Here’s a car with lesser features and lesser power than a Baleno for the same price. Indian car buyers: Shaddap and take my money!

[@cybertron50]

Swift: the Activa of hatchbacks😅😅

[@amaan573]

3:35 400z*

[@Savethemanuals94]

Push the boundaries to the 4m limit? Are you insane? There’s a reason why the Baleno is priced higher and is “bigger”. It’s the product hierarchy.

[@Timetraveller123]

Verybugly looking swift ever. Especilay back side and c piller area is worsee

[@SandipJadhav-ns3rh]

Yes dream car...

[@vijaysubramaniam1174]

Iam sure the kerb weight is not mentioned at all, it sure to go down by another 100 kilos , so what stability will it have. Reducing the engine power and weight, maruti is just building cars with only mileage perspective, even Hyundai exter and nios is far better in kerb weight and their engines are proven. Swift is a useless car

[@M4NA5]

The weight has marginally increased thanks to 4 more standard airbags but to accommodate them you can bet Suzuki crammed more plastic in this car than a Kardashian.

[@alileevil]

despite a lighter engine, weight has increased by 20 kilos.

[@sunelishaan5196]

Maruti has used a high strength metal and 6 airbags and the weight management is done choosing a 3 cylinder engine and with marginal increase in kerb weight. The performance from the 3 cylinder engine and rideabilty is top notch. Its more than just a marvellous engineering. And trolling is easiest and worst activity in the world.

[@kostinarain7373]

Doesn't seem like you know much 😂😂

[@vijaysubramaniam1174]

Nobody knows everything, so don't highlight anyone , you are not a Kissinger , comments are given to type out own opinions, please mind your work

[@vijaysubramaniam1174]

No safety , seeing Hyundai they have added some features, it is not as proven as Kappa engine from Hyundai

[@pranjalsinghrawat4219]

So the new swift is not as...... s w i f t

[@matthew48609]

Unfortunately we don't get it 😂😂 What a Joke Why did we even waste our time listening to your explanation....

[@anilbelankar5032]

This is a clear downgrade from the previous swift. The new engine is just a shit to say the least.

[@PravinPatil41]

Wow, this car is so bad in terms of performance. My 8 year old Tiago can do 0 to 100 in 13.66 secs. I had expected much better from Suzuki.
