Q. Which car is best between i10 and Swift?

When I decided to buy a car 5 years ago, I was in a dilemma between choosing the Grand 10 and the Suzuki Swift. As my budget was tight I was looking for an affordable car within the price range of 5-6 lakhs. Upon studying the various features present in both Swift VXi and Grand i10 sportz, I discovered that the grand i10 had more features like integrated music system, start/stop ignition switch, power windows(front and rear) etc which was lacking in the Swift Vxi. Finally I went ahead and bought the Grand i10. I have driven it for 5 years now without any issue. I drive in cities, highways and off roads, but there has not been any issue so far. I take it for regular servicing. Regarding fuel economy, the grand i10 delivers an average mileage of 16-18 kmpl. The only thing which I dont like about the i10 is its low ground clearance. So we have to be extra careful while driving on rough, uneven terrain.

Avoid latest model swift for now, Build quality is really bad these days, they've reduced Kerb weight of vehicle by 100 kilos, to achieve better mileage, which is not safe for highways. Older swift was good. Buy any car with better build quality and with all standard safety features like Airbags, ABS, EBD. Check NCAP ratings before you buy some car

Its the swift if you want nice ride quality and performance but i10 stands out better if you want a car friendly for family. Build quality of both the cars is average. But its the swift who wins as its a better package. Also concider that swift is costier than grand i10.
