MARUTI SWIFT - BREAKS EVERY RECORD

                 

Maruti Suzuki Swift Review: Maruti Suzuki launched Swift in India in October, 2005 and it already is one of the best selling cars in its category. It has sold nearly 2, 30,000 units in both petrol and diesel version. Recently Suzuki increased its family by adding 3box Dezire to the Swift range.

It is a good looking, large and distinctively designed car loaded with modern technology and features. The car is based on Concept S design unveiled by Suzuki in 2002 Paris Auto Show. It was showcased as Generation IV car in 2004 Paris Auto fair to compete in European B segment.

It has distinctly sporty look, clear headlight and large wheels than usually in cars in the class of subcompacts minis, gives it a looks of sporty and stable cars. The car is quite tall compared to competition also comfortable, roomier and with ample luggage space. It is being manufactured in India, Hungry, Japan and China. In India it was first launched with 1.3 liter, 16 valves, 4 cylinder petrol engines, generating 87 BHP @ 6000 rpm.

Later 1.3 liter 4 cylinder Diesel Multi jet engine generates 75 BHP (55 KW) of power, was also launched which is very popular due to its economy and performance. The ride of the diesel variant in feel and running compared to the petrol engine is smooth to handle even in lower gears. It meets Euro 3 standards.

Maruti Suzuki Swift is equipped with various safety features and well advance equipments. The swift has crash safety as it is equipped with collapsible steering column, Front seat belt, pretension with load limiter and energy absorbing trims. You can also buy petrol version ZXi with dual front airbags, Antilock braking (ABS) with Electronic Brake force distributor (EBD) and brake assist function to make driving safe.

The airbag is currently not available in the diesel option. The Swift’s Antilock Braking System allows you to maintain control on your driving direction in case of sudden braking. It also prevents car from veering off the road. Swift has an antitheft iCat system in VDi, VXi and Zxi Models. It also has key less entry in most of the models.

Maruti Suzuki Swift has also headlamp leveling that allows you to adjust beam depending on load on the car. This ensures optimum visibility during the night. The car has got excellent reviews not only in India but all over the world. The British Autocar magazine gave it 4/5 stars judging as “thoroughly impressive all rounder”. Car India said “Swift has more than its fair share of silicon livery under its hood… and leads charge in the occupant safety stakes by being the first hatchback in the country to have front dual airbags in its specification sheet“.

It is not surprising that Swift has been well received not only by car critics but most importantly by the customers.

Our verdict: Great buy in the economy segment for its safety, leg space and style.

HONDA CRV

HONDA CR-V REVIEW

Honda CRV is believed to be first small car like SUV. Instrumental panel inside the car is well designed, which is also very easy to be controlled. With enough cargo space it is equipped with many convenience features along with a foldable picnic table under the trunk carpet. For normal conditions Honda CRV is powered by front wheels. In harsh situations rear wheels can also be made to use. Very stylish interiors, powerful engine and many safety features like front seat airbags, front and rear side curtain airbags, antilock brakes, brake assist, electronic brake force distribution and vehicle stability assist with traction control are the major attraction in Honda CRV.

Honda CR-V Description :

Honda CR-V was first introduced in 1996. It was one of the first small car-like SUVs on the market. Even though it was slightly underpowered (126 hp), many customers appreciated the unique combination of low fuel consumption, all-wheel drive, spacious interior and reliability. Thanks to unibody construction and light weight (only 3160 lb or 1433 kg), the Honda CR-V has very predictable car-like handling. Inside you will find well-designed, user-friendly instrument panel, easy to use controls, lots of cargo space and many convenience features, including even a fold-out picnic table under the trunk carpet. There are number of cup holders and storage compartments, there is even a storage box under the front passenger's seat. The rear seats fold almost flat for extra cargo space. The Honda all-wheel drive system is very helpful on slippery roads, although it's not designed for real off-road adventures. In normal conditions the Honda CR-V is powered by the front wheels. As the front wheels lose traction and start slipping, the rear wheels kick in to help. This is accomplished through the use of viscous clutch to engage the rear wheels. The CR-V comes in three trims: the LX, the EX and the EX-L. It is available in both front- or all-wheel drive. There are multiple safety features including front seat airbags, front seat-mounted side airbags, front and rear seat side air curtains, front seat active head restraints, antilock brakes, brake assist, electronic brake-force distribution and Vehicle Stability Assist with traction control. 

Honda CR-V Pros :

Very Stylish and cosy interior, Powerful engine, Very comfortable, Spacious. 

Honda CR-V Cons :

Overall price and maintainence cost are high, Fuel econonmy is not good. collapse
