Just get this thing to India already. 140 bhp in a car that's not even a tonne, I'm drooling. And finally it's a turbo, so the tuning potential will be great too. Will be a true blue competitor to the Abarth.

Wow!! They just nailed the design on this one. I already feel sad for the other hatches in the market. When this gets launched, even in a diluted form, it's probably going to obliterate the competition.

re: The 2018 next-gen Maruti Swift - Now Launched!

LOL, enthusiasts have been drooling on Swift RS from a decade! For each iteration of Swift, there have been posts praying to get its RS version here, only to be presented with sticker job limited editions. Don't hold your hopes high, its Maruti. It will give multi colour options on same tired 1.2 petrol/1.3 diesel and come up with fancy names. Baleno RS was launched a year or more later than normal Baleno. I think the probability of this getting launched here is very very small, if not zero.

re: The 2018 next-gen Maruti Swift - Now Launched!

For all the talk of having a finger on the market pulse, the colossal failure we call FIAT and the much-maligned Skoda have more conviction than our market leader when it comes to providing a niche product for performance enthusiasts. I say 'performance' and not 'auto' enthusiast because not everyone cares for outright performance, and it's an opinion I respect.

It's a shame that a manufacturer who'll probably suffer the least (if at all) from a niche product failing, is also the most risk-averse. If someone asked me to rate manufacturers in the order of probability of catering to niche enthusiasts, Maruti will be bottom of my list.

Nothing wrong with purely business decisions, but a manufacturer not offering their best products in their largest market (even to the admittedly select few willing to pay for them) speaks volumes, and is probably a big reason why Maruti hasn't been able to shed the 'cheap mass-market car maker' tag.

re: The 2018 next-gen Maruti Swift - Now Launched!

Economics notwithstanding, Maruti can very well afford to bring this beauty here. I mean, come on Maruti, you guys are making pot loads and pot loads of cash from your bread and butter products. How much can it possibly harm you to bring the Swift Sport to India where it will be a halo product and definitely picked up by quite a few enthusiasts!

PS: That thing looks absolutely stunning in the race blue colour and even the red, what with those gorgeous alloys giving it the extra oomph

re: The 2018 next-gen Maruti Swift - Now Launched!

India has never received the "good stuff" from Suzuki, barring the Grand Vitara and the Kizashi. And it's unlikely that we will ever receive such products.

For instance, the Ignis and S-Cross sold in Euro markets receive a very trick piece of tech called "allgrip" all wheel drive.

Considering that the accountants dictate MSIL's product portfolio, it's extremely unlikely that we will get the Swift Sport in India.

2017 Suzuki Swift scores 5 Stars in all its variants except the base which gets 4 star rating ( due to non availabilty of mandated safety packs) in the ANCAP crash test.

re: The 2018 next-gen Maruti Swift - Now Launched!

Reports indicate the Swift Sport is truly a hot hatch! Beats the earlier Gen Swift Sport. MT is the pick of the two.

Quote:
The 6-speed AT model is also quite pleasant and it gets lost at the level of MT
Quote:
New 1.4 turbo + lighter is more active than the previous Swiss spot!
Quote:
also impressed with the finish of a fine finish
Quote:
A high-quality ride that you admire from running
Quote:
Satisfied with high stability and braking performance

Stability at high speed is wonderful. The taste of Swift Sports using Tenneco is not losing compared to European cars.
Quote:
Without expecting anything, both touch and absolute performance are superb. Because the weight of the car is light, braking performance may not be required.
VERDICT:

re: The 2018 next-gen Maruti Swift - Now Launched!

Suzuki Swift AllGrip - AWD.

Quote:
it's only available on the top trim level and in combination with the 1.2-liter mild hybrid powertrain
Quote:
the AWD has a negative effect on fuel consumption, but it's not as bad as you think. Only 3 more grams of CO2 are emitted every 100 kilometers, while the 4x4's 62.8 mpg is still comparable to the 65.7 mpg of the regular car.

re: The 2018 next-gen Maruti Swift - Now Launched!

volkman10, while I admire your enthusiasm for the brand, I'm afraid we'll not even get a sniff of the latest & greatest from Suzuki in our country.

Forget the Swift-Sport, even the humble Maruti-800 came in an avatar with AWD & a Turbo !

So long as the buzzards, geezers, bean-counters, & their ilk are at the helm in our country's real people-car maker, getting even contemporary tech will only be a pipe dream.

Perhaps, the decision makers at Maruti consider the Indian car-buying public, what's the phrase I'm looking for... ah, got it - "not savvy enough"
