The Maruti Suzuki Swift has crossed the 13 lakh cumulative sales mark. The car has achieved this milestone in less than ten years. It was launched in May 2005, and has been the best-selling car in its segment.
The Swift is sold as 5-door hatchback in India. The car is powered by a 1.2-litre, 4-cylinder petrol engine that produces 84 BHP @ 6,000 rpm and 115 Nm of torque @ 4,000 rpm. The car is also available with a 1.3-litre, 4-cylinder diesel power plant that develops 74 BHP @ 4,000 rpm and 190 Nm of torque @ 2,000 rpm. Both engines are mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox.
