What you’ll like:

• A well-rounded family hatchback

• Superbly tuned 1.3L diesel powerplant. Short-throw gearbox is a pleasure to use

• Spacious interiors. Rear legroom betters some sedans

• Excellent ride quality mated to neutral road manners

• Ideal for city driving: High seating position with a light steering, clutch and gearshift

What you won’t:

• Dated & unappealing styling

• Missing features(No climate control, MID, steering-mounted audio controls, seat height adjustment)

• Sensitive steering at high speed. Needs a steady hand on the expressway

• Some quirky interior bits: Push / pull type door locks, centrally-placed window switches etc.

The other option is a 1.3-litre diesel engine, known by most of us as the Fiat-GM developed Multijet. Badged the SDE Smartech diesel, it produces 77 bhp@4000 rpm and 20.8 kgm of peak torque at 1750 rpm. It delivers an ARAI certified 22.1 kpl. Both powertrains come with a 5-year, 150, 000 km warranty.

GM's Swift baiter is offered with seven colour options and both the engine models come with three trim levels each; LS, LS(ABS) and LT. The top-end LT comes loaded with features like a Bluetooth enabled music system with handsfree, two airbags, ABS among others.

The U-Va has a high level of localisation and the company hopes to bring in more variants, including one with an automatic transmission option for the petrol motor.
