While the engines remain the same which is a bummer as the performance sees a minor improvement ( 10% faster to the ton) owing to the 40 kgs decrease in weight, the third generation maruti suzuki swift does ride better and the handling hasnt been compromised as the steering continues to offer terrific level of feel and feedback, personally I am very impressed by this hatchback as the front seats both driver and co driver seats are pretty comfortable but it still doesnt offer good rear seat space although built in quality , overall quality and NVH has been improved.Good for a family of 4 members to be more precise.
