Swift with 1.3L Esteem engine

car_crazy1400 · 3rd May 2005, 10:23

Got a call from my maruti dealer for booking a Swift . He said that mid range model sans the ABS & Airbags will be 4.25 lacs. And i could book one for delivery within one week of its launch!

Voted for 2nd option. The Swift is gonna have a different kinda a/c something like the temperature control, some smart a/c stuff dont exactly remember what (I was told about it long time back by a friedn who is in MUL)

You mean climate control? You can just set the temperature you desire and the automatic A/C will maintain that temperature. Had it in my previous car.

I hope that Suzuki dosent degrade the interiors for India.
Also, the buttons on the steering wheel should be there at least in the top end variant.

iceman91 · 4th May 2005, 00:46

Are these interiors the real thing or are they a Photoshop job? I'm asking because the wood and the colouring don't look that genuine to me for some reason.

Navin, I like the integrated CD player too. I believe it will make it to the top end version in India. Let's hope it plays MP3's

Any car picture for that matter is Photoshoped. Colour/tone enhancement is a must after the shoot. Sorry

AGP · 4th May 2005, 14:22

does anyone know about the prelaunch booking of this car in mumbai? Which dealer is offering that?

west · 4th May 2005, 14:26

nau dont expect anything better than an esteem engine and a zen interior in the new swift. Thats an economical equation at under 5 lks in india.
