Maruti Suzuki Swift
₹ 5.99 Lakh Onwards
The new model of the Swift
The new model of the Swift will have some added features hitherto missing in its diesel models. The pricing seems to be quite awry though. Eg. A Swift Vdi that was hitherto available,did not have any major features like Rear Defogger, rear wiper, Airbags,Music System, Alloy wheels, Auto AC etc. etc and yet it costs about Rs. 6.40 lacs on road Mumbai Regn. Whereas the recently launched Beat Diesel costs exactly that much and with all possible features. Agreed that the engine capacity is more of the Swift than the Beat but a test drive of the Beat Diesel would prove that it is indeed peppy and test drivers have driven it comfortabley at 150 kms per hour...!!! So if the Swift is now going to come with all these features it would not be surprising if the price of the new Swift Diesel model would cross the Rs.7 lacs mark . I think, if the Maruti think tank fixes the price at about Rs.6.95 lacs or so, it would easily more than compensate and make up on profits thru higher numbers sold and kill competition.
