The Indian hatchback market is abuzz with the arrival of the latest Maruti Suzuki Swift, now in its fourth generation avatar. It's set to challenge the Citroen C3, which is a contender to the Swift in India. Before delving into a detailed road-test comparison, let's first examine how these two cars stack up against each other on paper.
Once again it was Maruti Suzuki at the helm in April 2024 commanding a lion’s share of total car sales in the country. Of a total of 3,37,070 units sold in India in the past month, Maruti amassed sales of 1,37,952 units. This was a marginal YoY growth of just 0.5% from 1,37,320 units sold in April 2023 while the company has seen a 9.7% de-growth on a MoM basis over 1,52,718 units sold in March 2024.
The Indian hatchback segment has yet again been spiced up with the entry of the all-new fourth-generation Maruti Suzuki Swift. Giving a tough competition to other rivals in the segment, it will be a direct rival to the Hyundai Grand i10 Nios, which is one of the hot-selling cars for Hyundai in the Indian market. In this article, we take a closer look at how these two hatchbacks rack up against each other on paper, before we bring out a comprehensive road test comparison of them both.
