Swift: A car beyond infinity

Hello there! If you ask what is the best car in India that Suzuki has ever created? Some of your might say the Alto Zen or even the 800. But it was the Swift that actually changed the brand. 15 years of this car, three generation changes, no matter what people still love this car and my family and I are one of those lucky people to have owned such an extraordinary automobile. One look at that from the outside and inside and you always question yourself how did Maruti Suzuki ever manage to create a car like this with no cramped cabin, good features like a factory made stereo, airbags and alloy wheels. Making this car, Maruti did not take a small step, they leaped to a whole new league of creating cars like never before.

Horsepower coupled with 78nm of torque Sounds less in today's world but hey, I'm not done talking yet....
