Swift vs Getz

Now that it has been a while since the launch of the Maruti Suzuki Swift and the whirlwind created by its razzmatazz launch has settled, lets do a comparative analysis of the Maruti Suzuki Swift with the Hyundai Getz.

The Jurisprudence

Swift Positives
  • Looks
  • Performance
  • Ride and handling
  • Features
  • Price

Getz Positives
  • Interiors
  • Space

Comparisons apart, both cars are a great value for money. Both provide plenty of standard equipment, solid body, crash protection, precise gearbox action and a simple, efficient dash layout.

And ofcourse, both have a common set of woes as well. The braking and engine leaves a lot to be desired. The brakes lack power and progression and the engine needs revs to perform. But then, what more can you expect sub 2 litre engines.

The Judgement

Its evident, Swift seems to be the outright winner. Unless your only considerations are space and refined interiors. If not, go getz the swift...
