|  Re: MSIL discontinues old swift, begins production for all new model for August launc Any info on the boot space for Swift? Is it more or less than the outgoing model? IMO, they should have given a bigger boot given that split seats are not available. Actually, all hatchbacks should have split seats as option even if the boot is decently sized - adds a lot of flexibility |

By looking at the pictures [only], either it remains unchanged, or has reduced. I can say with some amount of certainity, that it hasn't increased. If the boot space was at least 300 litres, I would have strongly considered the Zdi. I don't know if at over 7.4L OTR B'lore, it's worth the money but surely the refreshed car looks better than the outgoing model; the interiors specially are better to look at. I only hope the plastics quality has improved, overall. Quote:

| Re: MSIL discontinues old swift, begins production for all new model for August launc The new swift website has a very cool game when you click low band site. You control a football by driving the car left and right. I thought this to be very neat! Here's the link: Welcome to Maruti Swift |

| Re: MSIL discontinues old swift, begins production for all new model for August launc Yes, k_ajay is correct, the boot space has reduced in the new swift to 215 litres, It was 230 earlier. That coupled with a high loading sill, makes loading more difficult. Though the new one has improved on every aspect of the old swift (atleast on paper), this is one area where it has actually gone down. Quote:

| Re: MSIL discontinues old swift, begins production for all new model for August launc Goodies are on expected levels and the overall package is altogether a lot better than the out gone model. We could see a lot of activity with Hyundai, Honda, VW and Ford pretty soon. Fan following for the NS would be on the rise. The count down to GTO's review is on. |

Reduction in boot space is one aspect that is now a bit of a bummer in the new Swift. Team BHP's review of the new Swift is now the most awaited thing. Hopefully, we are only few days away from it. Last edited by fuel_addict : 17th August 2011 at 21:03. | |

| Re: MSIL discontinues old swift, begins production for all new model for August launc Boot space is concern especially since this is positioned as a premium hatchback and this might be the only car some families have. |

| Re: MSIL discontinues old swift, begins production for all new model for August launc OMG!!! Where is the boot in this car? More swift doesnt have more boot space? Think the strategy is to make this car drive only in the city and not to take them off to the highway. |

| Re: MSIL discontinues old swift, begins production for all new model for August launc Boot indeed looks tiny in that pic - maybe it's the angle. Boot space is definitely less than the closest competitors (i20/Polo/Punto/Fabia/Figo).  I guess when the Ritz was launched, Team-BHP was among the first to be invited by Maruti for a TD. Why the delay this time around - is Maruti scared of an unbiased review? |

| Re: MSIL discontinues old swift, begins production for all new model for August launc The 2 biggest shortcomings of the outgoing model were the Boot Space and the Claustrophobic interiors... Looks like nothing has changed. Infact, the boot in the newer model is surprisingly - useless! Thanks for sharing the pics! |

| Re: MSIL discontinues old swift, begins production for all new model for August launc Yes guys boot space is one of the weakest point of this new Swift, as per Autocarindia the boot space is just 204 litrs  , this is not acceptable for a car positioned as a premium hatchback.Read the full review on 2011 Suzuki Swift Review Last edited by tj123 : 17th August 2011 at 23:01.

The boot space is very poor indeed at about 200 Ltrs. That combined with the claustrophobic and dark back seat and highly premium price for the ZDi variant may be deal breaker for many. It may still do very well due the the "M" label. The ZDi is too high a price for a Maruti hatch - hope Maruti and others will not take its lack of numbers to justify the bare-bone diesels that most manufacturers offer.
