It's unfair to have the 2008 swift vdi vs a 2024 swift zxi+ . The correct test pair would've been the 2008 swift zxi abs manual vs 2024 zxi+ abs manual

Old swift tyre for LDI and VDI model was 165/80 r14 and ZDI/ZXI tyre was 185/70 R14 which is same width as new swift 185/65 r15. If old swift was shod with 185/70R14 tyre then it would have been an another game; believe me..

They destroyed the looks, performance and engine of the Swift with the new model . Can somebody please explain why all new cars are so bad in every aspects , especially engine and looks, when compared to its own older models? There is no good car left in the current Indian market for driving fun.

[@alileevil]

The only ones complaining about this car are Indian channels. The new Swift is well received in the UK and in Europe, where unlike in India, hot hatches are a thing. Most of these so called "journalists" either have a very limited understanding of a vehicle, or they just parrot popular talking points. They see the figures and go "hmmm, one less cylinder and less peak power figures, must mean that the new Swift is slower than the old one". They literally have no idea how the engine delivers power or where the peak power and torque kick in.

[@RajeevAwasthi1]

@@alileevil do not compare Indian version of car WITH another countries version of same car model and from same companies. Companies do make cars differently for different countries even if it is same car/model name. Indian people and channel will revert back about Indian version which they will get.

How much ever Maruti tries convincing customers by using Influencers/KZbin reviewers, the 4 cylinder engine is for sure, always balanced and fun and reliable for long time.

2nd gen never came with 1298 engine. It was K series 1197cc. Diesel engine code was DDIS. K series is Suzuki's petrol lineup code. K12N diesel in 3rd gen ? How this is even possible ? Code word of both Fiat and Suzuki?😂 What kind of channel is this ?

[@anburajkrishna]

old swift is on slimmer tires whereas the newer one is with fatter tires. Both with same set of tires, I bet the old swift will do better than what it achieved in the cornering and braking tests.

[@racingrider7286]

2021 Swift is the best and will be set to rest as the most powerful one.

[@eriktenhag2022]

No it's not. 1st gen is the best. It was still lightweight but nowhere near the tincan level of the later generations. Only thing missing in the 1st gen was a proper ZDI variant. I guess they sort of fixed that with the Ritz. That 1.3 diesel still had soul in the first gen, the pull after the lag was enjoyable. 3rd gen diesel was a lot more tame and linear.

[@naveenbalineni235]

Suzuki didnt want any enthusiasts as their customers. Never bothered to bring a Swift RS and now depower the latest one to become a boring hatchback. Shame on you Suzuki. We deserves better. Atleast give us a more powerful version as a Sportier option.

[@zigwheels]

That RS is a pipe dream that even a lot of us are holding on to.....🙁

[@s_n9210]

I keep hearing that, but how many keyboard enchutiyasts would actually buy it?

[@aakashchoudhuri]

They killed the Baleno RS and are now offering the same engine with a BS6 "cork" and detuned map in the Fronx. Time and again it is proven that Suzuki is focussing on uncles as potential customers.

[@sanjayj1432]

Both cars need a 195/55/R16 setup on all four corners to really enjoy the chassis

[@rahula5898]

Comparing a VDI to a newer Petrol version is not the right way. Stock tyre size, ABS, ESP and more over the weight will have a huge impact on the test results. You should have done a ZXi 2004 to ZXi 2024 comparison😊

[@zigwheels]

We really wanted to, however with old originals, finding the right one, in the right spec and the right condition and with an owner willing to let us mess around with their pride and joy is a difficult combination to find.

[@tanujsoni3057]

[@blue280485]

What is this at 10:10 🤨 why didn't ESP kick-in to stop/control the oversteer😠 Tech for the sake of tech or what🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

[@FrictionBearings]

the basic of tire contact patch is flawed, friction i.e. tire grip is a function of weight and friction coefficient! so the contact patch being smaller and bigger has no bearing on it.

[@Ajayvishnu23]

Tire grip is indeed a function of weight and the friction coefficient, the contact patch does play a role in how effectively that grip is utilized. The size and shape of the contact patch influence how the tire behaves. A larger contact patch can distribute the load more evenly, potentially leading to better handling, heat dissipation, and wear characteristics. So, saying that the contact patch has no bearing is not entirely accurate.

[@s2tp97]

Gen 1 Swift had EPS with rack mounted motor. And it's the only generation of Swift to get a rack mounted EPS, all others have column mounted EPS, hence why it's sharper and more agile!

[@3rdclasstatamahindrabajajRE]

I owned first swift with 1.3 DDIS, what a car it was compared to standards then. It was the best handling sub 15 lakh car until polo came in 2010. Still enthusiasts worshipped it with new alloy wheels, some did tuning for better performance. Most modified car for almost a decade. Now its just another 3 cylinder mediocre hatch back. Much better options available for enthusiasts .
