Suzuki Swift's first generation was launched way back in 2000 with the name 'Suzuki Ignis' (outside Japan). This first generation was a big hit in the global market. This car was available both in 3 door and 5 door options & was a very successful car at that time. This generation was discontinued in the year 2004.

In 2004, the second generation was launched, which was totally redesigned and was looking very awesome and attractive. This car was again a hit from the factory of Suzuki. This generation was looking more modern and was feature loaded (compared to the older generation). This car was available in 2 engine options one being Petrol and obviously the other being Diesel. The petrol variant was available in 5 options (1.2L, 1.3L, 1.5L and 1.6L). The Diesel engine was only available in one option that is, 1.3L . The petrol variants was capable of producing 62 to 83 HP and upto 115Nm of torque. But, sadly this generation was discontinued globally in the year 2011

In the year 2010 (2011 in few countries) the 3rd was launched with some minor changes. Basically it was a facelift of the 2nd generation. This car was now looking even more bolder, sharper and spottier. This car became even more popular than the both the previous generations, just because of the way it looks. The minor changes that Suzuki had made in this car was looking very aggressive. Jus because of it's looks and passenger capacity this car was now selling in even greater numbers.

And then, finally in the year 2017 we got to see the all new redesigned, 4th generation of Suzuki Swift. This car is currently available in the market and is a good deal for a person looking for a mid size family hatchback. This car is now looking even more beautiful than it's preceding models and for the first time it now gets a LED projector headlamp which helps in enhancing the looks up to a great extent.

Even if it looks smaller but is very comfortable inside. It has a plenty of cabin space for 4 to 5 people.

4. decent amount of mileage

• CONS:

1. No rear AC vents.
2. Low quality of material.
3. No AMT on offer for the top most model (zxi+).
4. Little bit stiff ride.

• CONCLUSION:

So over and all Swift is a deal breaking car. This car is value for money, as it is cheaper than it's competitors. So, if you are looking for a hatchback for daily use, if you do some heavy miles on your meter everyday than this car is just for you because, it's mileage is surprising high. Also you can take Swift for long as well as short weekend drives, as this car is so much comfortable for up to five person. Also both the engines (Petrol and Diesel) are from the Japanese manufacturer Suzuki so it's reliability is not a thing to worry about. But we recommend you to take the test drive of all cars in option and then decide which car suites you best.
