The Maruti Swift is now in its third generation and carries a lot of improvements over the previous models; changes mainly being cosmetic and feature updates. Available in both petrol and diesel engines, the new Maruti Swift is, and always has been, one of the best hatchbacks in India. The hatchback is also available mated an automatic transmission; a first for the Maruti Swift. In addition to this, the car looks good, especially in red. This is enough to make it a favourite among women drivers.
