Planning To Buy The New Maruti Suzuki Swift? Here Are 3 Other Alternatives You Could Choose

Maruti Suzuki has introduced the fourth generation of the Swift in India. While it maintains the classic shape of its predecessor, it boasts several new features. The Swift remains a favourite among Indian buyers. Its price ranges from 6.49 lakh to 9.59 lakh, ex-showroom.

The Swift offers both petrol and CNG powertrains and comes in five variants: LXi, VXi, VXi (O), ZXi, and ZXi+. Before making a decision, potential buyers might want to explore other options available in the market.

Hyundai Grand i10 Nios

The Hyundai Grand i10 Nios is another popular hatchback choice in India. It is priced between 25.92 lakh and 18.56 lakh, ex-showroom. Safety features include six airbags, an electronic stability program, rear parking sensors with ISOFIX mounts, and hill hold control.

Hyundai offers this model with both petrol and CNG engines. The petrol engine delivers 82 bhp and 114 Nm of torque. On CNG, these figures drop to 68 bhp and 95 Nm. An AMT gearbox is available for the petrol variant.

Tata Tiago

Tata Motors' Tiago is their most budget-friendly offering, priced between 25 lakh and 27.65 lakh, ex-showroom. It comes in six variants: XE, XM, XT(O), XT, XZ, and XZ+. The Tiago runs on a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine that supports both petrol and CNG fuels.

When using petrol, it produces 85 bhp and 113 Nm of torque; on CNG, these numbers decrease to 73 bhp and 95 Nm. Transmission options include a 5-speed manual or AMT gearbox.

Citroen C3

The Citroen C3 stands as the brand's most affordable model in India. Initially criticised for lacking features due to cost constraints, Citroen has since addressed many concerns. Its price ranges from 6.16 lakh to 10.15 lakh, ex-showroom.

This hatchback offers two engine choices: a naturally aspirated unit producing 81 bhp and 115 Nm of torque and a turbocharged version delivering up to 108 bhp and 205 Nm of torque. Gearbox options include a 5-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic.

While the Maruti Suzuki Swift remains a top contender in its segment with its blend of style and performance options, potential buyers have several other compelling alternatives like the Hyundai Grand i10 Nios, Tata Tiago, and Citroen C3 to consider based on their preferences for features or budget constraints.
