| Winner - Maruti Suzuki Swift D'zire VXi The D'zire was supposed to be the successor to Maruti's long running and successful Esteem so it had a lot resting on its strong waistline. Based on the highly successful Swift, the D'zire was an immediate success. People immediately took a liking to its bold lines even though the addition of the boot looked slightly awkward. The interiors though not the most spacious of the lot is pretty well built and equipped. In fact it?s one of the few cars in its segment which features climate control and steering mounted audio controls. The seats are extremely comfortable and offer support in all the right areas making long drives a breeze. The petrol unit pumps out 88 PS and begs to be driven hard thanks to its revvy nature. On twisty roads the true character of the D'zire comes to the fore. The car is an absolute joy to throw around corners and is definitely one of the best handling cars in the bunch. Ride quality though slightly on the stiffer side is pretty composed and handles most ruts and speed breakers with aplomb. With funky looks, peppy performance and extremely frugal figures the D'zire is definitely the pick of the lot. Test Drive - Maruti Suzuki Swift D'Zire Petrol >> |
