Overview
The Swift is the default answer in the premium hatchback segment, and it earns that position on running costs rather than spectacle. The 1.2-litre petrol engine is smooth enough for city traffic and relaxed at 100 km/h on the highway, and the manual gearbox is light in the hand.
Where it has moved forward is equipment: a larger touchscreen, connected features and six airbags on the top trims. The trade-off is a cabin that still feels harder-wearing than a sedan-focused rival, and a ride that firms up over broken tarmac with four adults on board.
For a first car or a city commuter that needs to hold resale value, the mid-spec manual remains the sensible buy in the range.

Pros and cons

Expert review
MotoSutra score
4.1/5
Our verdict
The Swift remains the correct purchase for anyone who reads the service price list before the feature list. Buy the ZXi manual and you get the safety hardware and the equipment that matter; buy anything else and you are paying for a badge that does very little work for you.
