Built on a completely new platform, the new Swift is longer, wider and lighter than its predecessor. With best in class acceleration, high power to weight ratio and improved fuel efficiency, the new Swift sets several new benchmarks.
The car has an energetic and vibrant presence, thanks to the swept back, rather large headlamps and tail lamps, completely reworked grille and a smiling central air intake.
The width and height are up only marginally, but length is increased by 90mm and the wheelbase is 50mm longer.
The new Swift is powered by the same motors, 1.2 litre K series petrol and the much acclaimed 1.3 DDIS diesel. The petrol engine has been tweaked with VVT (variable valve timing) technology that makes it sportier.
The diesel engine remains unchanged, however, overall weight has been reduced by 30 kg and 15 kg on petrol and diesel variants respectively. The result is improved fuel efficiency, 18.6kmpl for petrol and 22.9kmpl for diesel.
^^ In fact, those headlights and tail lights are the two things, which makes it look distinct and attractive from the old model! Apart from that, the wheels, the facelift and the interiors look nice! I'd wish, they gave more punch to Diesel just like petrol!
thnx for pics btw!
