  • ADAS 2.0

Maruti Swift

  • More power and bigger brakes should improve the dynamic abilities of the Swift. New blue and white

  • cruise control
  • hill hold assist and ESP added to the features list. Idle start-stop promises improved fuel efficiency.

Kia Seltos

Q. Swift zxi plus or baleno Asta which one I pick ?
  • Selecting between Maruti Suzuki Swift, Maruti Suzuki Baleno and Hyundai i20 would depend on certain factors such as your budget, preference of the segment, brand preference, features required, etc. Hyundai’s certainly pushed expectations from the segment ahead by offering more features and more choice with the drive options while improving on the basic need of space and practicality. Hyundai i20 doesn’t just offer loads of new tech, it also works better as a family car than before, albeit for a bit of a price increase. If we talk about Swift, Maruti has launched the facelifted Swift. If you are eyeing a practical hatchback with a fuel-efficient and now more powerful petrol engine, updated feature list, and refreshed looks then you may opt for the 2021 Maruti Swift.

    Test drive 

    Kia seltos 2023 is new and better in terms of safety as well.I am super excited about seltos 2023 and will definitely take it for a test drive once it's available on the market, As it gives you a greater sense of security by including 6 airbags as standard equipment on all models.
