Exterior Design and Styling

Color Options

First off, there are a lot of color options available with the Maruti Swift CNG ZXi. The only thing you may be unsure about is which you’d prefer, whether something bold like Phoenix Red or a more subtle classy Pearl Arctic White.

Aerodynamics

It may look small on paper, but don’t be fooled by the Swift’s compact dimensions: The design is more than skin deep. Those lines aren’t just for looks; they’re engineered to optimize aerodynamics, decreasing drag and getting you that additional boost in mpg efficiency. It’s like your car’s cutting through the air with precision.

Build Quality

The Swift is no slouch, however, when it comes to durability. The body from high-strength steel and the solid paint finish keep it looking sharp, even used for years. In my opinion, it’s a huge plus for any city car as it’s designed to stand up to daily wear and tear.

Interior Comfort and Features

Seating and Upholstery

When you step through the door, you will find comfortable fabric upholstery. The seats feel cozy enough for long drives, and the fact that you can fold the rear seats in a 60:40 split gives you flexibility when you need more cargo space. Honestly, you’ll appreciate this if you’re ever trying to fit a weekend’s worth of luggage back there.

Dashboard Layout

It’s clean and intuitive to use. And because everything’s where you’d expect it to be, your driving experience improves. Having a dual-tone design, there is a nice touch of modern flair, and the instrument cluster has a great mix of digital and analog readouts.

Infotainment System

Because honestly, you need a good infotainment system in today’s world to make or break a car. The Swift CNG ZXi's 7-inch touchscreen is responsive, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto make connecting your phone a breeze. Need Bluetooth? You’ve got it. Want to charge your phone through a USB? Covered.

Engine Performance and Efficiency

Engine Specifications

The Swift ZXi CNG under the hood has a 1.2-liter engine that feels good at providing a balance of performance and efficiency. It makes 88 horsepower and puts out 113 Nm of torque. Is it the fastest? No. It’s more than enough for daily driving and weekend road trips.

Fuel Efficiency

Here’s where the Swift really shines: 32.85 km/kg on CNG. Now that’s insane fuel efficiency, and if you’re someone who drives a lot, that’s going to make the difference. I say that’s one of the nicest features of this car if I’m asked.

Transmission

It has a manual transmission, which gives you more control over your drive. Gear shifts are smooth, and it’s perfect for stop-and-go city traffic as well as highway cruising.

Safety Features and Ratings

Airbags and ABS

Cutting some corners here and there is not something that the Swift does when it comes to safety. It’s great to have six airbags for peace of mind; who doesn’t want that? Plus, you’re driving about, and you’re taking the family along with you. And then add ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) and you have a car that values your safety and your passengers’ safety just as much.

Advanced Safety Features

Features like an engine immobilizer that’ll prevent unauthorized use and child safety locks to prevent your little ones from opening the doors also come with this one. Small details, but in practice, they make a huge difference.

Driving Experience

Handling and Ride Quality

But when you sit behind the wheel of the Swift CNG ZXi, you’ll fall in love with its ride quality. It’s nimble in the carrier’s handling and feels agile when you’re weaving in and out of city traffic or taking it on a highway. Although the suspension does a pretty good job at absorbing bumps, the overall comfort is very nice.
