Looks
The new Swift is definitely a attractive brute, with matured lines, that comprehensive cover and larger head lights. On the aesthetics front, it really does a much superior job than the old Swift. The new Dzire also provides over this new front side end style from the Swift, and in that regard, looks more stylish from the front site than the old Dzire ever did. The new style is more of a shocker as a whole, though the peoples information are quite pleasing to behold.
Engine and performance
Now the Dzire comes in both the 1.2-litre petrol and 1.3-litre diesel variants that are currently on provide in the new Swift. But one trump card that the Maruti Suzuki Swif Dzire holds is the addition of an optional 4-speed automatic gear box in the mid level VXi petrol variant. packing a power punch of 87PS @ 6000rpm and a torque figure of 114Nm @ 4000rpm, this automatic Dzire can get from 0 to 100km/h in 16.49 seconds, and if you keep you right foot strongly planted on the throttle, it can eventually hit a top speed in excess of 160km/h.
Mileage
Performance apart, mileage is a very critical aspect, especially to those considering basic sedans. Both the diesel and petrol engines have been thoroughly tested on the new Swift before, and considering that the short sedan doesn’t gain much more mass over the hatchback, the mileage figures shouldn’t take too much of a hit. Pootling around city, it came back a mileage figure of about 11kmpl, and when we hit the highway, the figure climbed easily to about 16kmpl. Not bad for a small engine with an auto box.
Gear
This VXi Automatic version can achieve 0 to 100 km/h in a decent 16.49 seconds and can gradually hit a top speed in excess of 160km/h. The car returns a good mileage of 11km per litre in city circumstances and 16 km per litre, when hitting the highway, which is a kind of shock for a relatively little engine mated to an automatic gear box. So it’s totally upto the consumer if he needs the comfort of an automatic gear box or those fully loaded functions in the ZXI manual version.
Handling and Ride
The old Dzire, while not what you might call a bad handler, was rather rolly polly in the bends. The steering is nicely weighted and carving corners on a twisty hill street is as fun as it gets in this segment of cars.
The new Dzire is a suitable car no doubt. It drives well, is smooth and refined and bearing a Maruti Suzuki, comes with a lot of advantages such as low running costs and convenience of servicing.
