Cost cutting, Reliability issues, FE to name some.

Look at the rubber bands Maruti provides us with on the Swift. At 75 bhp, 190Nm my stock DDiS still pulls and this with heavier, bigger tyres.

Like 10-15% of the buyers give a damn about performance, for the rest of the consumers its all about F.E. Doesnt matter if the car has handling, braking, grip etc.
