The new Swift is powered by the same 1.2-lite K-Series petrol and 1.3-litre Multijet engines that powered the old model. Couple with the same old gearbox - a 5-speed manual - both the engines are now 10 per cent more frugal than before. Engine performance is marginally improved, while the handling, ride quality and drivability remain unchanged. It’s easy to drive in city.
