Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Maruti Suzuki Swift
- Sporty and vibrant: Sharp styling, LED lighting and bright colours make it look youthful!
- Good space for 4 adults: Accommodating front seats and spacious rear seats can seat 6 footers behind another.
- Covers all basics with cruise control, keyless entry, auto AC, powered windows and steering mounted controls.
- Sorted infotainment package with 9-inch touchscreen, wireless Android Auto and Apple Carplay and 6-speaker sound system.
- Super efficient petrol engine: Delivers around 15kmpl in the city with ease.
Hyundai Exter
- Design: Subtle updates like the new grille, alloys and wing-type spoiler keep the Exter looking fresh without losing its distinct identity
- Cabin: New dual-tone Navy & Grey theme, metal pedals and improved materials make the interior feel more premium and youthful
- Strong package with 6 airbags as standard, ESC, HAC and over 45 safety features for added peace of mind
- Spacious cabin, 391-litre boot and smart dual-cylinder CNG layout that retains usable luggage space
- Refinement: The only 4-cylinder engine in the segment delivers smoother and more refined performance than rivals

Maruti Suzuki Swift
- Interior quality could be better for the price. Too much plastic and not enough smooth surfaces.
- Limited performance: 3-cylinder engine, while adequate, doesn’t feel as peppy as the older 4-cylinder engine
Hyundai Exter
- Performance: Engine is smooth but not exciting, no option of a turbo-petrol
