The Indian market has become highly flexible in the recent past, which can be identified from the fact that cars from different segments have been competing with each other. Maruti Suzuki Swift DZire and Hyundai 4S Verna are two such models, which compete for popularity and sales numbers. Let’s take a look at how these two perform when lined up against each other.
Swift DZire is one of the bestselling models from India’s most trusted brand. Based on the top-selling hatchback Swift, this car has a sporty look that is characterised by its stylish chrome grille, bold-looking headlamps and fog lamps. Highlights of the appearance of this compact sedan are motion-themed alloy wheels and electrically foldable ORVMs. Interiors of this car boast of features like push button for stop/start, rear accessory socket, audio system with Bluetooth and steering mounted audio controls.
This sedan is available in both petrol and diesel versions, which are powered by 1.2-litre and 1.3-litre engines, respectively. These variants are capable of churning out outputs of around 83 bhp and 74 bhp, respectively. The claimed fuel economy of diesel version is 26.59 kmpl and the petrol variant delivers 20.85 kmpl.
Hyundai 4S Verna features the much-acclaimed Fluidic architecture from the South Korean manufacturer. Distinct fog lamps, outside mirror repeaters, rear combination lamps, front air dam, hood character lines and chrome outside door handles are the highlights of its exteriors. The interiors sports ergonomically designed premium seats, sun glass holder, smart key with push button start/stop and sliding armrest with storage. Four variants of Hyundai 4S Verna are available in the market, which includes two petrol (1.4-litre and 1.6-litre) and two diesel (1.4-litre and 1.6-litre) versions. The top diesel version of Hyundai 4S Verna delivers a maximum power of 126 bhp while the highest petrol variant produces 121 bhp.
Both cars have their own merits and are likely to suit different types of customers. While Maruti Suzuki Swift DZire is ideal for those living in the city and need an economy sedan, Hyundai 4S Verna suits customers who prefer a bit of luxury and premium features in their cars.
