I received a letter from the Maruti dealer regarding an ECU update "to improve the smoothness". Has anyone else received such a notification? I suppose they are trying to reduce the vibrations from the 3 cylinders although I have never felt them to be excessive in any which way.

What is the real world city fuel efficiency owners of the new Swift are getting? A friend needs to take a decision on this ground.

Thanks.

Gen 1 Swift vs Gen 4 Swift by Zigwheels. It isn't as straightforward a review because the Gen 1 is a diesel, and the Gen 4 is a Petrol AMT.

Nevertheless, it shows how competent the Gen 1 Swift is and how the Gen 4 Swift has not moved the game forward.

I have a colleague who purchased the Swift24 base version for his adventures of driving through the Bangalore traffic. He claims to get around 12 KMPL on average, 100% peak city traffic.

Above 14.5 in peak traffic congestion with long wait times in my AGS ZXI+. It's been about 1200 km into the ownership now. On longer, congestion free runs, it's of course much better.

I dont know about moving the game forward, but some of these tests like the spill test and even the cornering tests are empirical at best and very much driver dependent, therefore mean Nothing in real world. I had the 2008 Dzire VDI, which was essentially a Swift with an awkward looking but spacious boot. The car felt quite a handful on hard cornering and braking with the heavy diesel engine and lack of ABS. The new Swift is lighter, but handles well and has better active and passive safety features, which were not highlighted in the video at all. The new Swift also has an enhanced ergonomic experience, not to mention the diesel like economy , if not absolute performance.

My friend went ahead with the purchase last month. He is very happy with the FE as that was his primary factor in pinning the purchase.

Thanks!

Nice to know. Its all about managing expectations quite frankly. Most of us (me included) have been strong skeptics of AMT in general in terms of its performance. 5 years ago, I wouldn't touch it with a bargepole. But now when I see the traffic congestion and the resulting fatigue, it is a much better option than any manual. Just don't expect the car to zip past the slow moving truck and you will be ok. The car performs 'adequately' on the open flat highway.

Late post … my maternal aunt upgraded from a 2014 WagonR VXi to the new Swift VXi MT (Magma Grey).

Hi Team, I went to check new swift in showroom yesterday. when I asked about 3rd gen Swift the dealer said only one car is available March 2024 manufactured, (ZXI AMT) and told me that the car was kept in display and after lots of negotiations he is offering 50K discount. Can I go ahead and buy it or book new 3 cylinder Swift. it’s not a demo car. please advise. Most of my driving will be in city .

Nope. Don't take it. Diwali sales and December year end sales are round the corner and with heavy unsold inventory of all the car brands, there's bound to be some good discount offers in coming days.

A Gen 3 swift with 50K discount can be bettered if you are willing to wait for some more time. The Gen 3 Swift engine specs appear better or superior over Gen 4 Swift, but the onroad performance reviews say that performance is at par with the earlier Gen and this is an entirely different engine.

A good idea will be to leave a message with the dealer that you are looking for a better deal and they could revert back when they have one.

However the catch here is, if there's another customer who laps up the 3rd Gen Swift at the prevailing/offered discount of 50K, then you stand to lose the deal. If you are OK with that prospect, then try to hold on to your horses and squeeze the dealer more. You could behave nonchalant in front of dealer and don't show any eagerness to buy the 3rd Gen Swift. Stay aloof, but let them know that you are willing to buy for a better deal but again willing to move on, if they are unwilling to give better discount. The ball is in their court. Remember, ball could swing either way.

There's a customer crunch in the market with huge unsold inventory with all car brand dealers. All it takes is patience and waiting for the right opportune time. With a deluge of new cars at tantalizing prices ( For example, the Mahindra XUV 3XO base model, Citroen Basalt base model, Tata Curvv ICE base model etc) there's going to be tough competition in the car market in coming days.

Diwali festival sales or the December year end sales are good time to benefit the most from your dealer.

2025 Suzuki Swift Sport Engine Details Leak – 150 PS, Mild Hybrid, 6MT/6AT

The Swift Sport won't make it to India. Maruti will surely point fingers at the Jimny sales as a warning to someone who demands it.

But why can't the 1.4l turbo make it to India?

The Grand Vitara surely needs it, especially with the 3 row version coming around soon.
