Unbiased Review of Maruti Swift VXI VDI K Series
After writing a lot about which Swift car to buy and comparing VXi or VDi in my previous hub, I thought to share my unbiased review of this Maruti car with Swift lovers. Though both VXI and VDI share the same chassis and body and it sound like there is only difference of engine but this is not true as there are a lot of differences between both variants and it is not an easy decision to decide one. After reading a lot and analyzing requirement, one of my cousins decided to buy Swift VDI and he is very happy with the decision (completed 10,000 kilometers and three free services). Up until now most of the discussion in car communities, car forums like carwale.com and Team BHP and other sites on the net is more based on economy but one should also consider the power, torque, driving, comfort etc. I will do this one by one.
VXI or VDI - Economy Wise
First of all if you are thinking about economy, Delhi ex-showroom price is:
Maruti Swift VXI Bharat Stage IV = 4,53,632 INR
Maruti Swift VDI Bharat Stage IV = 5,28,877 INR
This above price for both Maruti Swift variants was last updated on April 23, 2010. The difference amount is around 75,000 INR. If you drive at least 40 km per day, then it will take around four years to cover the difference of the price you pay. If you drive more in a single day, then you can cover the extra amount early. So if you just think about economy, then if you drive more than 40 go for VDI otherwise VXI.Now let's move onto other import factors. Read on..
Driving Comfort
It is a difficult one and depends on how you drive a car.
VXI's Steering and Clutch
Is smoother than VDI and VXI is easier to maneuver compared to VDI.
Is instant in VXI compared to VDI as VDI has higher torque and even though both use the same brake, braking distance will be a little more in VDI.
In Bumper to Bumper Traffic(Common in Delhi and other metros), it is much easier to drive VDi as because of its higher torque, you only need to use clutch and brake and the car easily moves in second gear without accelerator but in VXI car, you have to use a little bit of accelerator. Also because of high torque in VDI, you can drive in 40 to 50 kilometers per hour in fifth gear, so there is lesser gear changes in VDI compared to VXI saving more fuel adding up more mileage to your car, saving more money in your pocket.
Reviewed and Compared Swift with i20
- Maruti Swift versus Hyundai I-20 5 lacks segment cars
Hi friends, You people might have heard a lot of hoo-haa going on in the motoring press about Hyundai I20 these days. Recently, I had the opportunity to drive one for an extended session. LOOKS...

Engine Noise
Will be a little higher in VDI but compared to other diesel vehicles in its class, it is very silent and from inside it is difficult to say that you are sitting in a diesel car so it is negligible.
Engine TorqueVDI is a clear winner in this category. Torque ( Nm@rpm) : VXI VDI 113@4500 190@2000. VDI torque is amazing and if you test drive both, you will feel the difference. As soon as you hit the accelerator in VDI, you will feel the kick and the other kick you will feel as you cross 2000 RPM. VDI has got a linear Turbo charger and it starts after 2000 RPM and once it starts, you get sudden acceleration and if you maintain this RPM range, you will never have to change the gear. Suppose if you are in fifth gear and going in good speed and if you have you overtake, you don't need to shift down the gear, you will get the same acceleration in fifth gear what you get in third or fourth gear in VXi. Unfortunately, there is a small amount of turbo lag below 2000 RPM in VDI that means you will not get the same acceleration what you get when you cross 2000 RPM but once you get used to using lower gears, then it is not a concern.
Race between VXI and VDI
If there is a race between VXI and VDI, then VXI will only win in racetrack or a drift because it has higher RPM ranges but it takes time to reach there. In city roads, VDI will be a clear winner. If you need power, by a Swift VDI.
If driven properly, you will get around 17 km per liter in city and 20+ km per liter on highways with Swift VDI. In VXI, it should be 13 km per liter in city and 17 km per liter on highways.
Other AspectsThere is no waiting period for VDI or VXI. For VDI with ABS, some waiting period might be there. You cannot fit it outside and I will say any day go for VDI with ABS if budget is not a concern. The amount of torque it has got, you definitely buy it.
Swift's New K-Series Engine
VXi has got a good engine and the good news is that Maruti has phased out the previous engines and have put more advanced and powerful 1.2 liter 16 valve K series engine which was used in Ritz and other cars. It was first launched in Swift petrol and now it is available in all variants. The bonus of K-series engines is that they provide better pollution control and fuel efficiency. I think this was the reason why Maruti launched Swift Glam to clear the old engine stock. VDI has got one of the best diesel DDIS engine. The DDiS engine has won the "International Engine of the Year Award" in Europe . It is an engine which was developed by a joint venture of Fiat and GM.
This is a latest ad from Maruti Swift. I bet you can't just see it once - You will love to see it again and again
I don't know about VXI but VDI has totally changed the way people used to think about diesel cars. My cousin completed 10k kilometers and three services and following is the cost:
1. First Service: 600 rupees
2. Second Service: 5 rupees for a small screw
3. Third Service: 2000 rupees
So in 10k kilometers, he has paid just 2605 INR. Now the decision is up to you which Swift variant you would like to buy, Swift VXI or VDI. It all depends on you. My work was to just provide an unbiased review of both variants and I have done that. If you have any types of questions regarding this, please let me know via the comment section below. Best of luck for your purchase of Maruti Swift.
So which Swift Variant you will buy?
Very interesting Soni - I had no knowledge of a Maruti Swift
i am from bangalore. I decided to book vxi in this week.Thanks for your valuable advice.I think vxi is maintenance free vehicle.And if one ride below 40 km in a day it is better to buy vxi.
The stock VXI is faster than a stock VDI on the road too if you drive it the way its meant to be driven i.e. in the higher rpm ranges. Max power in the VXI comes above 4000 rpm while in the VDI it comes from 2000 rpm.
Both cars are fun in their ways, the VDI for the torque and the VXi for its willingness to rev. I wish they had the 1.6 sport in india though. That would have been great.
Disclaimer: I am talking about the old 1.3 VXI, the K series is not that much fun but definitely more efficient and sensible.
Hai Soni, I have a Dzire Vxi purchased on 29th Jan 2010. It is powered by K series. One of the merits of K Series Engine claimed by MUL is that you have to change Engine oil only after 10,000 Km. But I have seen the condition of engine oil of my car after 5000 km has detoriated. It has become thin, dark brown and smells petrol. I changed the Engine oil and filter at 5000 km. First the service station was against change of oil before 10,000 km.But when they saw the condition of drained out oil, they appreciated my decision. Please confirm whether my decision of change of Engine oil before 10,000 km against the claim of MUL was correct
Hai Soni, Thank you for your prompt response. I want to add some more comments. The vehicles sold by MUL per year is now in lakhs.But the number of authorised service stations are not coming up proportionally.The existing MASS cannot manage the free service of these new vehicles and old vehicles. Hence they want the frequency of free inspection ( service)at higher KMs to avoid the rush at MASS. The maintanance of quality free inspection( service) is also now beyond their control.
Hi. I got a Swift VXI ABS two months back. Its loaded with a K series 1.2 engine. I must say that this is a very refined engine and irrespective of the lows torque (as compared to VDI) the new gear box supplements the power with amazing results. Its really fun to drive it in traffic and in small lanes. The zippy pull (with precision controls) always gives you the confidence to go ahead. Trhis is really a value for money car. I agree with all that you should go for diesel only if you run more than 1000 kms per month.
Hi, I have booked Swift VXI ( new k series engine), i am waiting for the delivery date. This engine is compliant with BS 4 Norms and we need to fill BS4 standard petrol for good engine performance. Do we get BS4 compliant petrol in all the major 13 cities ? how we can cross-check ? Do we have any indicator in Swift VXI ? Pls do suggest.
Dear Soni, I have read your unbiased opinion about Dzire Vdi and Vxi. I have a Dzire Vxi(K) purchased during Jan 2010. I have come across many Dzire Vdi and Ldi`s during my long journeys. You can compare other vehicle`s performance also during a long journeys. Dzire Vxi(K)can fetch a maximum safe speed of 160 Km/hr. You can beat a vdi at above 150 Km/hr only.Still fuel economy of Vdi is far better than Vxi. Many a time I repented for purchasing the petrol variant.I never travelled in a Dzire VDi. I have seen it stationery or moving on road. My friend also had purchased a Dzire Vdi along with me in Jan 2010.He has run 7000 Km and me 5500 Km. One day we inspected our vehicles each other. He started his Vdi(already warmed after 12 KM) and allowed to idle.This is the first time I am near to a Dzire Vdi in running /idling. With one hand on the steering and another over the bonnet I observed the vibration. It is unbearable. I never expected a reputed company after extracting more than l akh can release a sedan like this to a customer. He also observed my Vxi similar way. He kept quit only. I have travelled Indica Vista which may be having the same Engine.Even though the vehicle is small, the vibration is not felt like Vdi at least during Idling. Even though my expenditure per KM is more than the Vdi, I am not repenting now for purchasing a petrol version. Live like a King as long as you can afford.But not..... How the vibration is controlled in costly Diesel cars. How the Indico Vista has managed it. MUL honestly has to modify their car and show justice to the customers.
Eversince booking a dezire vxi car recently I have been tracking all the comments and suggestions by users and experts. I hear that dezire with new K series engine gives less than 12km in city and about 15 on highway. Is this true, I also read that this car has clutch problem unlike its diesel variant. I did not read about this problem in this site. I decided to go for petrol as I drive less than 1000km a month. I am in two minds now. Any suggestions?
Dear Soni, Please apologize for replying to Mr.Kumar in your forum.The Dzire VXI(K) will give you a mileage of 13 in city and 16.5 in highway if you drive carefully. But since the vehicle is powerful and stable even at 120Km/hr you may tempt to accelerate. Then the mileage will reduce drastically. This reduction in mileage is felt more on Dzire VXi(K). The mileage improvement of Dzire with K series is there if you compare it with Dzire Vxi with old Engine.As per my friends the old Dzire is giving 11 Km in city and 14 Km/l in highway. The ARAI figure of 17.8 is a magic figure which ordinary people cannot achieve.The Dzire (K) is a good vehicle. I have driven 5500 Km now.I do read more about clutch problem in Dzire.However since the petrol version has less torque the problem may not encounter in it. But Since Diesel Dzire has more torque they have to be careful. Dear Soni, am I correct.
Thank you very for the valuable information . I am planing to buy a swift vxi. I want to know that wheather VXi will move with out giving any accelaration in first gear
I have booked the Swift VXI (K Series) and I am very glad after seeing your article that I took a right decision. I didn't go with ABS option, is this something that is really required or we can manage it without this. When I asked about ABS option dealer told me that I need to wait for longtime. As I am in urgent need, I have ordered Swift VXI without ABS. Please let me know your opinion on this, did I take the correct decision?
Thank you very much for the valuable suggestion
Wish to thank for providing the useful information and comparison bet VABSD Vs Vxi, .

Ritz is the practical and affordable car for middle class people like me. I test drove many hatchbacks and finally decided to buy Ritz because, its from Maruti, hence sales, service and resale value are all very much satisfactory. Also, Ritz diesel is more refined and providing good mileage too.
2006 was the year when i first test drived a Swift VDI vechile...from that time i was desperate in buying the car becoz of its performance,pickup and milage..at last my whish got fulfilled last month, i got a VDI vechile and supersingly i am getting a milage of 25km/pl.Before i buyed this vechile a lot of people advised me to check the other brands,they referred me to go for Ford Figo or Mahindra Logan..i was not satisfied..
Dear Soni, Now my Dzire Vxi K series has covered 6000 Kms. Two free service ( Inspection )have already done.I am now driving the car very carefully just like a test driver. I never exceeds 2000 RPM. Still I never got more than 12 KPL in city with shell petrol.If I had driven my earler vehicles Esteem and M800 like this condition It would have shown miracles. Even though I had driven my earlier vehicles without much care it used return a better mileage. Now I feel the pick up of my new Dzire (K)is less than earlier. This is admitted by majority of my friends. The mileage is only better than the old Dzire and I10 for which my friends are getting 11/14.5.The excitement of Dzire K series is slowly fading away. It is becoming a white elephant.At highway U are losing the freedom of driving as the mileage drops pathetically poor. I even got 13.8 KPl when I drive freely on highway.Only ARAI figure of 17.8 is the consolation.Fix a ARAI certificate on the wind shield and drive.
Thanks Soni for sharing nice information about Swift. My driving will be around 45 KM/Day. I am planning to go for Swift K series ZXI model(Due to extra features). I read somewhere on other blong that maintenace cost of Swift VDI is more as compaired to Swift-K series Engine. We need to change the Oil filters after each service in Swift VDI. Is it true? Could you please comment on this. Thanks.
A very good writeup about swift. I like the way the content is broken up into sections. Superb.
@soni2006 , the new swift with k series engine offers more ride quality than the older one because its suspension has been tuned.
Anyone looking to buy swift can wait sometime because new swift will be coming in 2011.It is wider and longer than existing swift.
Dear mr.sony, i am planing to book swift vxi, how long i have to wait for my car in kerala? also what is your opinion about zxi? mileage only 12km in cities?
dear soni i am planning to buy swift , but i have problem that people are saying that new swift is coming by end of this year, so please guide me about this. if it is coming then i will buy that one.
Hi ,I am planning to buy dezire vdi.but some people are saying that fiat are going to discontinue the desiel engine to maruti .is it true or then wt is maruti planning to do for it?
help me for this
thankyou soni but your idea of bumper to bumper is wrong because pickup of vdi not so comfortable as vxi
Dear Soni2006.
Is it true that CNG makes the engines less efficient..no matter if its company fitted or what ?
which has more resale value Dzire diesel or Dzire Petrol..after 5 years of usage.
hi soni, i ve gone through your blogs and found it very informative.i m planning to buy a Dzire Vxi.when will the new setgment of swift b launched in market.
I am planning to buy my first car. I decided on Swift. From above discussions, I realize swift suits for me form economics perspective.
I have on question, Which one of these will give comfort drive in city as well as highway ?
is there any information about maruti launching CNG variants in swift and Dzire.
Hi Soni..
Wow wat great analysis you provided .
we use to drive less than 1000 km per Month wat would be best option .. VXI or VDI
hi to everyone...
i'm planning for swift vxi,but i donot know anything abt k-series....
wen asked abt new engine(K-series)one of the dealer told me its a new refined engine wid 1200cc frm 1300cc....
my question is does it effect the performance....?
May i know any information abt K-series....
Dear Mr. Soni,
You unbiased views on Swift VXI and VDI are superb and very helpful for people like me who are first timers and in a fix to choose between the both. Best webpage for comparision between VXI and VDI. I have already booked VXI which was promised to be delivered on Nov 08, 2010. In the meantime, few of my friends suggested me to change my choice to VDI. Your views definitely helped me to stick to my decision and not to go for VDI as I travel 30km per day.
Hi Soni,
I gone through many comments and your promt responses on those. I would like to appreciate this highly.
I am planning to Buy SWIFT DZIRE LXI in 2-3 months. My Driving would be in range of 800-900 KMs max in one month in Mumbai. I read over many forums people saying that Petrol Dzrie's mileage is like 11-12 KMPL but that of a Diesel variant is somewhere near 17-18 KMPL in city. I made up my mind completely for LXi but now I am scared of these mileage issues. Please guide me in making a decision between diesel or petrol variants.I will be highly obliged. Many Thanks in advance and waiting for yout response.
sir, is it possible for advising me on whether vxi is the option or vdi when my coverage will be around 30 km per day in city and around 200kms per monthon highways
Dear All,
After much thought i did book my first car Swift Vxi with K Series Engine (color:metallic silky silver)on 17.10.10. All colors are in metallic except for Solid Red Color which is Non Metallic but the price remains same for all color.Remember this while booking your color choice. Most probably the delivery would be in last week of November or first week of December. I have added music system, mag wheels,key less entry locking system,sunfilming ove tinted glass. Firstly there is so much of this model on roads and it is proven vehicle. There are friends of mine who regularly travel from Bombay to Ahmedabad and have vouched for the comfort and safety of this car.
As of now, eagely waiting to hear from showroom. The excitement is growing...
Thanks to All.
S Ramesh/Vasai West/Thane District/Maharashtra
Is it true that Diesel car does not have much life compared to petrol Version. I have heard this in showroom too.
s ramesh/vasai west
Could anyone highlight me on the service factor. What is all to be looked into while i get my service done. Is all mentioned on the service manual. Is there anything more than this, i need to check and follow.
s ramesh
Finally my vehicle has left Gurgoan factory on 22.11.10 and should reach the destination on 25/11. Registration should take a couple of days.
Could anybody highlight as to what all to look for before taking delivery of vxi.
s ramesh/vasai west/thane dist/maharashtra
I am taking delivery of vxi on 3.12.10. Damm excited. Could anyone highlight me on what all to check for before taking delivery.
s ramesh
I want to know that all swift vxi coming now with Kseries bs4 engine or not?
I also want to know wht all we need to check before taking delevery of car.
Hi Arpit,
Now only K series engines available with BSIV. Just go through the manual and follow them strictly. U may ask all doubts with the sales guy / service advisor too. The more the knowledge the less the harm.
s ramesh
I got my possession on 3.12.10. Just driven 50 kms. Nice Feel, Definetly.
Thanks s ramesh..
I will get my swift in jan mid.
I am also very excited.
Please keep sharing your experiences.
This is my first car.
Hi Guys ,
I am a proud owner of Swift VDI since May 2009. It is an excellent car. Never took a test drive before buying as the Name(Swifffftttttttt) say it all. I am happy with my swift but there are minor issues, like OEM tyres they provide with the car are not good. They wear out in just 36000k's. Maruti clam the tyre life for JK Tornado 40k's.
Once you drive the diesel swift, it is hard to go back to petrol version. Swift VDI we can call it a Chota Diesel Rocket. The car gives me 30+KMPL with AC on Highway at 80KM/Hr and gives me 25+ in city. If I take the car to 100+ Km/H then it gives me 20 KMPL. There are a few issues with the car like there is a thud noise coming from the front if you hit the pothole even on 20km speed. Overall it is a good car. Got mine delivered in 6hrs.
Yes i agree with you basically its a lovely car with perfect average for the Indian road. I am actually planing to buy Volkswagen polo can some suggest me budget is no issue.
Hi soni,
on your opinion for Swift vxi I have bought one in silky silver,it is amazing car I'm in love,I want advise for the Cng kit which is the best suited kit for my car pl.specify the name and model of kit.
Dear Friends,
I Want to buy new maruthi swift vdi with abs bs iv in bangalore. Those who have booked this model in Bangalore and now waiting for going for higher model or change in models, can pl. mail me within 31st March 2011 to give his priority to me on firstname.lastname@example.com.
I shall be grateful for your help.
Hi Sony,
Could you please share your opinion about the colors of Swift?
I am planning for VDI very soon and would like to know which color is easier to maintain and which one will fafe and maintenance cost of covering up the scratches etc etc.
I also would like to know about the Swift VDI Diesel engine's life span. I have heared that after about 5 years of work, diesel engines will have troubles. Is it true for the Swift diesel?
Thank you for your valuable advices.
Joshi Thomas M
Hi Thomas,
The fact is life of any diesel engine is 4 - 5 years while the petrol can go up to 10 years. The most important aspect her is - depends how you had driven your vehicle and periodic maintenance given.
Soild Red looks good but the color fades (the shine goes and it just looks red) as this color is not metallic. Rest of the colors are metallic(Silver, White,Black,Copper,Azure Blue)- just to name a few.
Hi sonu
I have went through all the review's. Thanks for supporting guys and helping to choose between VDI & VXI.
Though my question is unique, I would like to hear from you.
I am inclined towards Swift VDI. But people saying I should not keep the vehicle Idle (without starting) for a long time.
I am ok with the initial payment of 90k for VDI.
Kindly answers me in two angles.
* My VDI Vehicle would be idle for two weeks & once in two weeks I would be driving 250 kms. So average monthly usage would be around ~500kms. This would be happening for 1 year.
* After one year my average monthly usage would be 1000kms.
* I would be travelling overseas and would my VDI vehicle brings any serious problems if I dint use it at all. But I will make sure some one uses it 10kms every week to charge up the battery.
Kindly answer me for my above two questions. Would VDI be worth for me?
Hi Soni,
I am planning to buy Swift. Please read the below usage level and kindly advice on the VXi and VDi.
I dont have much of usage daily as i use company transport everyday to work.
I might use it only on weekends. Hence my monthly usage will be about 200-300 kms (only on weekends).
However I will drive it to my native once every quater and hence it will have about 1200-1300 kms in that particular week.
Looking at the current petrol prices, feels like Diesel is good.
Please advice.
thank u very much for your information.
But i have something to ask you. I am interested in buying Swift but i have not yet decided abt vxi or Vdi. My useage is max of 10 km a day, but once in three months or two months i vl be going to my native which is 400 km from my working place, Kinldy sugest me which one to go for
@Soni: Thanks a lot for your time in answering my query. Though I see your reply today, I had booked the second generation Swift VDI yesterday itself. :)
Waiting for the features and price of ZDI and after that I might change VDI to ZDI.
hi ..
I hv purchased Swift Vxi 15 days back and this Blog helped me a lot in deciding the best one for me.
I took it for 5.5k from Hyderabad ( onroad )...
Completed 600 Kms (250km on highway ) and rest in city..
The exp was too good ...especially the power it has ..
They have improved on the breaking system as well..
On Highways i was driving at 110-125 km/h and could not feel a single jerk or vibration when a lorry or bus crossed.. There is 0 sound when the engine is turned on ..cant mk out whether the engine is turned on or off when we are at traffic signals.
Even my parents liked the car a lot..spacious and comfortable (seating wise )...
I knw that there is a new swift in line may be in the month of sep or nov but i am happy with my decision as the new swift will cost me 1 lakh more for the same version (vxi) .. and i hv chkd all the blogs and also went thru all specs abt new swift ..the major diff is 3 BHP more and ofcourse the K12 Engine will gv more efficiency on fuel consump (its again 3 Km/l more than the present one ) Interiors almost the same just that mp3 player in built which is there in present model (zxi ) as well..Exterior Tail lamps design changed ground clearance is low compared to the present models..its like the POLO ..
Front view is the same but from rear we can mk out the diff..
Will post more comments once i complete my first servicing .. i forgot to tell u that i am getting 14 km/l before the first service ...
Lets c the diff after couple of services..
Safe Motoring ..
Beautiful hub.Maruti Swift is beautiful car.Is it easy to drive?
@dostvost: Congrats for your new car. Since you had bought your car already, you are convincing yourself by finding disadv of new swift. Thats the nature of human mind.. For guys who have not bought the old swift would be happy that they are gonna get new version with new features. Also I would like to give you few info abt new version. Its not gonna cost 1 lakh extra, may be 15 to 30k extra. Improved mileage, More leg space, Royal dashboard look, new VVT petrol engine,Plastic fuel tanks, etc etc... So you saved 15 to 30k and missed all these features..
I got my K series Dzire VXI in Feb 2011. I have covered 5k kilometers until today. The driving comfort and power is adequate for a normal user. I have taken this on long trips, and the vehicle can easily cruise at 100-120 kmph without any problems. The mileage is better than my previous WagonR. Dzire gives me 14 in city and 17 in highways with 100% AC use. Worth the money if you are looking for a petrol sedan.
Your blog is very informative. Thanks.
I am planning to buy My first car(swift or Dzire). But i am in confusion about the engine, diesel/petrol. My estimate is 800 to 1200 KMs per month. I prefer to have Music system and ABS. Is it possible to integrate ABS later in VDI/VXi model? Heard of new dzire, any idea is it worth for waiting too..?

hi planning to buy swift but query is i wont be running 40km daily but i travel a lot ive done around 12000 km last year with my zen..so what would u suggest..?
Hi all,
A very good and helpful review from you indeed !
I have a Swift VXi(1300 CC) for the last four years, and it has been a pleasure driving this car...every single time !
And even after four years (and 80K km), this car is fun to drive...so powerful and so responsive...even on sharp curves.
I have driven a VDi as well and its also a great car to have. But I still feel that if I set aside the fuel prices, I would vote for VXi.
i have booked new maruti vxi car on 28 september, when should i expect to get the delivery of the car???
We ordered maruthi swift vdi in last month they gave us priority number 400 now how i can we know what is our priority number and when can we expect our car can you please help for this..
Hi Soni Sir,
I have booked new maruti vxi on September, what do you think when should i get the delivery as i still can't understand when the worker unrest problems get solved which is happening from last few month as familiar says that, it is too much cretical problem n it won't solve till the all worker demands will not fullfil so cancel the delivery of swift n book any other car except maruti......pls advice
It's tuning is not linear but peaky, look at toyota/Fiat on how the cars are tuned.
those cars don't have peaky power at 2K RPM like swift,it helps to keep the car run in higher quantity of air to reduce the soot build up in the engine and exhaust, but due to way swift is tuned , in city driving it's difficult to keep the car on 2K RPM otherwise one may end up in rear ending some other car.
When i drove punto it's easy to keep the car in 2K RPm with out much of mad rush of power in city , i observed there will not be any black smoke at 1800RPM in Punto but in Swift until 2K RPM there is black smoke.
when you drive in city you choke up the engine with these soot .
It may be good to drive but certainly not good tuned car.
poor breaking even the new swift has poor breaks, I will trust Skoda/Fiat or Toyota any day over Maruti.
I use a Swift Dzire LDI since Sep 2010. I have clocked 35000 km in one year. I use Synthetic engine oil which was first filled up after 1000km and then changed after 20000 km. Should i change oil again at 35000km or extend up to 40000 km?

i choose VDi
i think vdi will be the perfect decision.the swift diesel has more drivability than vxi.the vdi is much suitable for city drives because of the plenty of torque that is available in less rpm.it also does not need frequent gear shifts. The vdi provides good accelaration and torque even in fifth gear,during overtaking it is clear.the accelaration available in fifth gear is incredible.overall swift vdi is the best car that u can buy in its segment..
could you please advise,shall I buy new swift VXI version?
Cons : use less engine
Description :
Needs to improve
Overall Experience maruti car is like child doll. this is used only play. not in use.maruti engine is made from delhi local area.this engine is like scrap engine. low milage.late pick up like OLD MAN.
bad paint on the car.heavy noise like lorry.car out source is good but engine is waste.maruti makes fake engine. suzuki engine car is good . but maruti makes delhi local engine is waste. you check car engine isit suzuki or local fake engine before you buy it.
I am also planning to buy car, i have taken the test drive of i20 and swift petrol. i felt comforatable in both car. now i am confused which one is better to buy? technical feature of both car are almost same. i so confused pl suggest as soon as possible so that i can buy best one......this will be my first car.
Hi, i got my swift VDI 6 months back (old version) and covered 7000+ kms and i am much satisfied with VDI on economy,torque and engine responsiveness part. However some of its parts are very hard like clutch, brakes,gears,etc as compared to VXI. Moreover exterior plastic (bumper) quality, metallic sheet that they have used is very bad and cannot bear normal strokes i.e very delicate.
I have purchased Swift VXI BS4 in July, 2010. All the first 3 free services are done. I will occasionally drive my car just will take it only in the weekends and drove about 5,600 Kms (not went for any long trips so far). When I need to do my next servicing?
Dear Mr.Soni,By my good luck I came across your page and spend several hours reading your reviews patiently, In my opinion you are an auto expert,my simple concern to you is that I am going to get my new swift dezire vxi within a few days and my decision to use the car for about 60 to 70 Km daily came late, so I would like to know if after running my car for around 10000 KM can I opt for a CNG kit, I know the efficiency of the engine will be compromised by doing so,but do I have an option of LPG kit or any other improvement to petrol engine mileage .Thank you for the patient understanding of my problem.
I own a Swift Dzire Vdi. While the engine is idle, if i keep my foot on the clutch i feel the engine vibration on the clutch pedal from day 1. I showed it to a lot of Maruti dealers and their feedback was that its normal in Diesel engines; which is not true because my friend has got a new Vdi and it doesn't have this issue. Guys, please help me understand what this could be.
I have booked Swift ZDI on 1 Nov 2011 and waiting for delivery, hope I will get it on March/April 2012.
Very Use ful information... Thank You very much...

Dear Soni

Presently I am staying in Durgapur West Bengal (170 km beforeKolkata). Seeng the increasing prices of petrol i feel that i shoul install CNG kit in it. Kindly suggest considering my running of about 10Km per day. Please compare pros and cons of CNG as it is said that it weakens the engine. Seek your valuable suggestion whether to instll or not.
firstname.lastname@example.com, email@example.com
1. Built quality is not upto the mark,specially the thin boot lid...
2. Horn Pad is not ease of use...demands too much stretching of thumbs...
3. Braking is not too good..
4.Under tyred..in case of Dzire VDi...
5.Beige colour floor carpet..is prone to be soiled much faster...
Pl suggest choice b/w vdi and vxi average travelling per month is 1000km
maruti swit is a good car or bad car
maruti carhas original suzuki engine or delhi make fake engine.please tell me friends
Hi, Mr. Soni. I was just speaking to one of the Mechanics about buying a new car. I am having a Wagon-R of 2007 model. The mechanic advised against buying a K-Series engine vehicle/car because after running 50,000 km these engines starts giving complaint and require frequent maintenance and repairs. That is the reason why car makers have introduced these K-series engines since they want to keep their business up and running profitably. In the pre-K Series engine models there was no necessity/requirement of maintenance/repair even if you completed more than 1,00,000 km. What is your considered opinion on this matter? Please elucidate.
Hi Soni,I do have bought swift vxi recently and the reason to buy petrol version is only because I only use my car on weekends for outings with family & friends.I personally feel that in city average is 13-14 per liters but when I drive it between 65-75 km/p/h then average does extend to 16-17 km/pl.I told to my friends they appriciates after they personally drive the car in that speed.plz share some suggestions....
Hi.. I want to buy a car , my daily running is 25 to 35km .which car will you suggest.. vxi or vdi .. and also tell me what is the difference between ddis engine and vvt engine ..

Today on "Generation Gap," the guys bring a pair of cars that fall firmly in the "cult classics" category. Davin's choice, a 1967 Chevrolet Corvair Monza Convertible, has been called "unsafe at any speed." The Corvair boasts a 2.7L, 2,683cc flat-6 engine behind the rear wheels. Matt's pick, a 1986 Pontiac Fiero SE, has been known to catch fire at the most inopportune times. The Pontiac has the mid-engine 2.4L "Iron Duke" inline four. Matt and Davin discuss the incredibly passionate following for these classics, and try to figure out the magic behind their cult status.
Voting for this episode of "Generation Gap" has ended.
This week on Generation Gap, Matt and Davin face a tough decision between the undeniable classic style and rarity of the 1963 Split Window Corvette and the modern convenience and power of the 2007 Corvette Z06. More

Breakfast Equals 60 Percent of Restaurant Traffic Growth In Past Five Years
Specialty coffee and breakfast sandwiches key to growth.
CHICAGO -- Breakfast accounted for nearly 60 percent of the restaurant industry's traffic growth over the past five years, and if not for the breakfast day part faring relatively better than other day parts, restaurant visit declines over the last two years would have been steeper, according to The NPD group, a market research firm based here.
For the year ended March 2010, there were more than 12 billion morning meals served at U.S. restaurants; 80 percent of restaurant morning meals were purchased from quick-service restaurants (QSRs), NPD's foodservice market research revealed. Over the past five years, morning meal traffic increased an average of 2 percent per year, comparatively, while lunch visits were flat and supper traffic declined 2 percent per year on average.
"Breakfast has been and is projected to continue to be a bright spot for the restaurant industry," said Bonnie Riggs, NPD's restaurant industry analyst. "A restaurant morning meal serves a variety of needs. In addition to helping us jump start our day, it satisfies the need for convenience, is less costly than other restaurant meals and is readily available to us."
Recognizing the importance of the morning meal as an opportunity to capture share and build consumer loyalty, major chains have recently announced expansion into the breakfast day part. NPD's QSR Market Monitor, which monitors local market activity for QSR chains, found consumers who visit a chain for more than one day part tend to be more loyal, more likely to recommend the chain, more frequent visitors and contribute more volume.
Two of the fastest-growing menu items these restaurant visitors order are specialty coffee and breakfast sandwiches, both of which contributed to the breakfast day part growth. From February 2005 through February 2010, servings of specialty coffee and breakfast sandwiches grew twice as fast as the industry.
According to a soon-to-be-released "The Future of Foodservice," which provides a 10-year forecast of foodservice trends based on aging, population growth and trend momentum, servings of breakfast sandwiches are projected to outpace the industry's growth forecast. Annual servings per capita of breakfast sandwiches at foodservice are forecasted to jump from 11 in 2004 to 14 in 2019.
"There is a lot of activity around the breakfast day part right now, with chains expanding into the day part, and the addition of breakfast menu items, promotions and deals," Rigg said. "Currently only one out of ten breakfast opportunities is satisfied by foodservice, and there are more breakfasts skipped than served in restaurants, all of which means that breakfast is a significant growth opportunity for the foodservice industry."

Mobile Dynamic reconfigurable Context aware middleware for Adhoc smart spaces
Research Scholar,
Government College of Technology,
Coimbatore -641 105
Email: email@example.com
Dr. S.Arumugam
Additional Director
Directorate of Technical Education
The aim of our paper is to design a mobile dynamic middleware for protocol interoperability in adhoc smart spaces. Smart spaces are composed of mobile devices, sensors, attenuators, both smart and dummy nodes and other wireless devices. The Protocols considered are service discovery protocols that seamlessly interoperate in the middleware. The purpose of interoperation is to make all the services on different smart spaces available to the user. The system considered here is a personalized system where the profile of the user is analyzed. and the request is seamlessly flooded in to the middleware. Among the available service the best matching service depending on the context of the user gets seamlessly adapted to the device of the user. The middleware has the feature to serve multiple users simultaneously on varying as well as on fixed context at the same time. The Middleware is termed mobile Adhoc as it is not attached to any infrastructure and is movable.
Keywords: Interoperability, Context aware, Middleware, smart space, seamlessly
1: Motivation
The mobile middleware so far designed is context aware based on only one factor ie location. Our middleware is based on multiple-context factor. Secondly service discovery is one of the most important feature of the mobile context aware middleware. Interoperability of service discovery protocols in the middleware along with the context information is a trivial problem which has not yet been solved. In this paper this is brought about in the application layer by creating a Dynamic reconfigurable context aware middleware. In out framework any service discovery protocol could be made to interoperate seamlessly without look up server. So far only jini architecture have been designed in the middleware. The disadvantage of this architecture is that it works in java platform. Moreover look up servers are maintained in jini architecture which require extra overhead. In order to minimize the cost of the heavy loaded lookup service seamless integration of protocols is considered in our architecture. More over Tuple space middleware systems discussed in literature only focused on individual smart spaces and interoperability of protocols on different smart spaces were not considered. Our work focuses on interoperability of protocols across smart spaces.
2: Introduction
Middleware is connectivity software that joins applications through communication mechanisms creating transparency, scalability and interoperability and lies between software applications it assists and the platform it is based upon [1]. Smart spaces are termed as smart networks that have the capacity to fetch information from all other networks with the smart nodes embedded in the space. The personalized service is read as profile of the user and seamlessly integrated by the proactive/ reactive protocol in to the context aware middleware. The routing protocol is selected based on the context. If the decision of routing is taken prior to the routing then proactive protocol is chosen and if it is decided on the time of routing reactive protocol is chosen. It is at the middleware the context is matched and then routed in to the smart space.
Three smart spaces are created – one space is created with sensors termed as sensor smart spaces, other space is considered to be adhoc i.e. without a fixed infrastructure consisting
Of both smart and dummy nodes and other completely mobile. Each of the space runs on a service discovery protocol. These protocols interoperate in the middleware such that any personalized quest of service could be satisfied by the devices within the smart spaces.
3: Context Awareness
Dey's have defined context awareness as follows: A system is context aware if it uses the context to provide relevant information and or service to the user, where relevancy depends on the user's task. Context awareness seeks to exploit human computer interaction by providing computing device with knowledge of user's environment i.e. with context [3].
4: Context Aware middleware
A dynamic reflective context aware middleware is designed which acts as a platform for the protocol to interoperate seamlessly. Different profile could be serviced at the same time . The services are arranged in the form of clusters in the smart space.Each smart space contains 'n' number of clusters and the number of clusters need not be uniform in all the spaces.
The cluster head is selected by choosing a node which remains in the network for a longer period of time. The node should also cover all other node in the network with a shorter distance and in a minimum time span. The third condition in selection of the cluster head node is that the node should offer almost similar service like any other node in the same cluster. The network considered here is a peer to peer system and each clusters act as peer systems. It need not be that all the nodes in the peer offer same service. Each nodes can offer similar or different services. Clustering of nodes is done by a group based clustering algorithm which has the properties to seamlessly fetch the nodes offering similar service within the cluster and among the cluster in the same smart space as well as on different smart space.
Fig 1: Context Aware Middleware
The service is fetched from the clusters with the service discovery protocol interoperability along with the group based protocol and is fed in to the middleware seamlessly by the proactive/ reactive protocol. The protocol is chosen here based on the context. The context varies based on location, environment and activity. For the same profile based on the context the choice and provision of service will differ. The middleware Component falls in to two categories: The mobile device based component provides an API to the application developer to spell out the location and context requirement for the required location based service [2] .
The seamless interoperable component uses the service on behalf of the mobile client and returns the response to the device based on the context ie location, position and activity requirements.
In our middleware we consider presently only slp/ sdp interoperability and this could be extended to other discovery protocols like jini, salutation etc. The main feature of our middleware is that there is no lookup table maintained in the protocols and the service is rendered seamlessly.
5: Service Discovery Protocol
Any service discovery protocol could be made to interoperate. The service discovery protocols considered in this paper are slp and sdp. Jini, salutation and upnp could also be added up to the architecture. Bluetooth is service discovery protocol used for short range of service.
The service discovery protocol provides a means for applications to discovery which services are available and to determine the characteristics of available service. SDP is a simple protocol with minimal requirements on underlying transport. It can function over a reliable packet transport.SDP uses request/ response model where each transaction consists of one request protocol data unit and one response PDU. This is made to seamlessly interoperate in our model. Service can include common ones such as servicing, paging and faxing as well as different kind of information access such as tele- conferencing, network bridges and access points.
SLP is used to access remote service as well as local service. SLP contains three agents user agent, Directory agent and service agent. The user agents here request for personalized service which is obtained from the Directory agent. Service Agent advertises the service in the Directory agent .The Services are prompted as alerts by the service agent. SLP is based on the knowledge of the SLP server where the client can address the service request. Further more the service provisioning has to register the SLP characteristics in the SLP server. Thus when the client accesses the server it will get all the service information in the service reply [4].
6. Routing Algorithms
The routing protocols can be classified in to proactive and reactive routing Algorithms. Proactive routing protocol determines the path of transmission form source to destination in advance where as the reactive routing protocol determines the path only during the transmission. Eg of reactive protocols are AODV, DSDV that determines the path on the spot. proactive protocol has OLSR as an example. AODV is generally used in mobile networks and OLSR is used in adhoc networks [4].
The choice of the proactive/ reactive protocol is done by the context sensitive feature of the middleware. If the route of seamless transmission is decided in advance then it follows a proactive transmission and when is done on demand then reactive routing scheme is followed. In our paper we consider using routing protocols only from the user requesting the service to the middleware and after the discovery in the middleware the information is routed back using the routing Algorithms.
7.Related work
7.1: Other middleware's
Traditional middleware like DCOM, CORBA deals with heterogeneous services and devices but are only capable of offering service to fixed devices. Traditional middleware failed to serve mobile applications. To support mobile applications four types of middleware were studied- Context aware, Tuple space, event based and reflective middleware. Reflective system support higher level of reflection since they can add and remove methods from objects and classes dynamically and can still alter the classes of objects at run time. Reflective middleware like Dynamic TAO and Flexi net are built around the concept of object oriented and component framework respectively. Tuple space system exploit the decoupled nature of tuple spaces for supporting disconnected operations in a natural manner. Traditional system follows a request/ reply style of communication. Event based system achieves a highly dynamic style of many to many interaction between client and server. Context aware system provides mobile applications with necessary knowledge about the execution context in order to allow the applications to adapt a dynamic change in the mobile host and network conditions. So far context aware applications are only focusing to user's location while other things of interest are also mobile and changing. In general reflective system provides mobile application with context information that they need to optimize the middleware and its own information.[5].
But it was found that each of the middleware had its own negative feature and no step was made to combine all the positive feature of all this middleware to form a full fledged middleware system. In our middleware we combined the feature of both the smart space and
context awareness and our middleware supported the property of reflection and dynamism also. Our middleware brings about context awareness based on location, activity and the environmental condition thus bringing about dynamism rather than dealing with a single factor.
Context awareness is obtained by sensing the personalized profile and finding out the context match in the middleware with the requested service. Protocol interoperability and smart nodes play an important role in bringing smart space together and also to relate the exact match of service.
8. Future work
The enrichment of the current work includes involving the web based searching including interoperability of all service discovery protocol like upnp, jini. This also includes searching at a remote location. Here the context is to be matched with the url and the necessary service is to be retrieved. One more enhancement feature is the security aspect which includes authentication and authorization of the profile. Asynchronous routing protocol like Asynchronous probabilistic protocol and delay tolerant routing protocol is also to be considered in interoperability to bring about communication even when the devices are not within the range or disappeared out of range of service.
